Thank you @ian_skillicorn, @flaming_nora and @rararandom for letting me part of this tour and reviewing this book. I really liked all the different charactors and voices in the audio of Riverside. The story was very engaging and kept you hooked. The audio is 3 hours 51 mins which is not long and you do feel part of the family while your listening to it. This romantic comedy thst made me chuckle in places The story is all about family but has romance , community life and frienship running through the audio. The story is heartwarming and very well written. If you like romance, comdy and soap opera you will love this 4 stars.
