This serious, yet witty and hilarious, romantic comedy by Samuel Hopkins Adams is a must read/listen! From the very beginning it intrigues you with the troubles and feminine woes of young Miss Darcy Cole. Being a dowdy, unkempt fledgling lady, she finds herself in a mirthful fix after telling a whopper to her room-mates in order to save face from her severely lacking personal life. Resentful and jealous of most all other women, and contemplating suicide, she turns to actress Gloria Greene for guidance on how to become more attractive. Miss Cole had no idea what she was getting herself into! Was it even possible to make herself over? How on Earth would she get through the lie of being engaged to a “titled” man, no less! She had never even met Sir Montrose Veyze, let alone be engaged to him! And then there is the charming Jack Remsen, who seems to be in a pickle himself. Darcy knows he would never fall for someone like her; in fact, no man even looks at her! But perhaps he might be coerced into unwittingly helping her out of her predicament.
A true Ugly Duckling tale, Darcy experiences all the emotions that most ALL women have felt at one time or another throughout life. As quoted by the Proof Listener for this work, the narrator does a superb job of “capturing the spirit of the book!” Drawing the listener in and allowing the audience to live and feel the experience along with the characters. A highly entertaining and riveting book! (summary by reader) (5 hr 15 min)

If you're looking for a nice, lighthearted story, give this one a listen. The story itself is just that, lighthearted and fun. And, the reader did a nice job. There were a couple of mispronounced words here and there, but nothing to detract from the enjoyment of the story, and the reader even had a nice singing voice! I really enjoyed listening! :)
humorous read - a "chick flick"

great job by the reader and great audio quality. this is a cute funny tale of the things we women will do for attention and how female friends can be with each other (sticking to you through thick and thin or the friend that talks about you behind your back).

Well read, except, there was no difference between character voices, making it a tad difficult to follow at times. However, the Volunteer, is very easy to listen to, delightfully clever writing, and light, comedic storyline make this well worth the time.

Charming story. The reader was good, some mispronounced words and Darcy was a little whiny sounding but I guess she should be haha.
too cute
