Summary

When newlywed Penny begins some casual wedding planning, she only wants to help women afford the big day of their dreams. But taming bridezillas turns out to be a full-time occupation, and what began as a hobby becomes a nightmare. Soon Penny is struggling to keep her day job and prevent her own marriage from collapsing: Tired, stressed, and knee-deep in ivory satin, is Penny's life and livelihood hanging by a thread?

lovely light hearted listen

absolutely love the Don't Tell series, I read these when they first came out & thought I'd purchase the Audible version. penny is such a lovely character, even though she had made a few bad Decisions, there was times I was shouting at her, telling her what to do, but that made it even more enjoyable. Penelope Rawlins is a absolutely fabulous narrator, she acted out voices for all the characters really well, except Lou, she sounded like a man. overall really enjoyed it......

very enjoyable

I enjoyed this second book in the series just as much a the first, it was again quite predictable at times and I did get frustrated at some of the situations.

I found myself disliking Mark as this book went on, I thought he was quite whiney and a bit too controlling and judgemental for my liking.

none of that made me dislike the book though, I think when books make you have strong feelings it's a good thing because you're so invested in the story and the characters

LOVED IT! 4 🌟🌟🌟🌟

I loved listening to this, the 2nd book in the series was great and it was just as good as the first listen.
I look forward to listening to the 3rd book now. Anna Bell is a great author, I am happy to have came across her books.

I noticed that the narrator was loads better voicing other characters, the ladies actually sounded like women now.
I do recommend this book to listen too as I love Chicklit!

Another enjoyable listen. Really like this books for lighthearted listening

Interesting yet lighthearted topic. Not my usual genre but downloaded the first in the series as a freebie and now I'm continuing through them all. Very enjoyable

Very predictable

Is there anything you would change about this book?

I found that the entire story was really obvious. It was humorous in parts and it did flow well from the last book. Something minor would happen or be said and I felt it was just a bit too obvious what then happened.

If you’ve listened to books by Anna Bell before, how does this one compare?

I felt the first book was a lot better.

Which character – as performed by Penelope Rawlins – was your favourite?

I did like the main character Penny and Henry was good

Do you think Don't Tell the Boss needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

There is scope for a follow on book

Any additional comments?

Very well read
