Katlynn Millions narration is wonderful and fun to listen to, bringing each character their own voice snd personality!. I was gifted this audio and voluntarily give my honest review!
This is such an enjoyable story. I really had no idea where this was going to go. The story easily kept me interested. The characters were fun and flirty. I liked the whole idea of her being sent to Beijing as punishment. How she still is able to get Into Trouble amazes even me. I knew Kent was the one from the beginning but when he left her saying he now has a girlfriend?? I was like What the Heck???
I did listen to this on audio. This is my first story read to me by Katlynn Millions. She did a nice job keeping me listening and portraying all the characters.

Awkward Abroad
Awkward Series, Book 2
By: Rachel Rhodes
Narrated by: Katlynn Millions
This book is a sweet delight and I enjoyed everything about it, from Rachel Rhodes writing style to the characters and storylines she created. Amber Holland has lived a life of luxury, doing nothing but partying and men, her father funded all of this and has finally had enough. He cuts off her funds an give her an ultimatum, she needs to go makes something of herself. He sends her off to China to live on her own and find her own career. Lost at first, but she soon finds her footing, also realizes how shallow her life and party pals were. Kent James, who works for her Dad and a former close friend of hers is in charge of watching over her. Amber crushed on him but he never returned those feeling and pushed her away by chasing after other women. She only saw him during family events. There is a lot of angst between Amber and Kent, you can tell there is underlying chemistry between them, bottled up ready to explode. But will it ever happen and what will become of it. I loved what Amber did for herself, finding herself a job, making new friends and even landing herself a second job. I love how well potted this story is, there is never a dull moment and there is plenty of drama, angst, laughs, some twists and a sweet romance at the end. Rachel Rhodes, thank you for another great story.
I listened to the Audible edition, Katlynn Millions is a wonderful narrator and voice performer. She brings these characters to life, gives each their own voice and personality. She does an amazing job projecting the emotions of the characters and the drama of the story into her performance. She is an entertaining storyteller and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another great listen
Absolutely enjoyed listening to this audiobook. It’s really good from start to finish. I was hooked until the end. Beautiful story. Wish there was more of Kent and Amber. Overall a must listen!!!
Amber has to learn a hard lesson in life when her father gives her an ultimatum and sends her halfway across the world. With this, she learns so much about herself, friendships and who to really count on. I loved watching this book make its way through with Amber and hope to see more from this author soon.
This series is fantastic. Amber is use to having everything. But her Dad puts his foot down, and Amber has to change. This has alot of humor as well as twists and turns. The Narrator done a fantastic job. The Author has done a great job at building the story and bringing out the Characters. This is definitely a must read.

Awkward Abroad
Awkward Series, Book 2
By: Rachel Rhodes
Narrated by: Katlynn Millions
The Awkward series is so good, so easy to relate to, that it’s like reading about people we know. This one gives us Amber, the rich, spoiled socialite who finally breaks her father’s trust for the last time. He gives her the ultimatum to go to China, cut off from all she knows and has to make her own way otherwise she will be cut off for good. Unwilling to give up the lifestyle she has grown accustomed, Amber goes, figuring she can stick it out for a year and come back to resume her life. But what she finds is something totally different. Kent, her best friend is along for the ride, not always with her, but there for her. It’s a wonderful story of growth, realizing potential and just all around good feelings. I loved Amber as she grew, both as a person and a teacher. Seeing priorities change and life come into focus along with a fun, loving back story is the perfect escape. I loved it!
Katlynn Millions continues her narration, and I really enjoy her voice. She is the perfect person for this age bracket, giving new adult voices for both male and female with seamless transitions. I look forward to more from her!

Awkward Abroad (Awkward Series Book 2) caught my eye with its swanky cover. The writing style is sensuous, with a sassy appeal.A concoction of angst, drama, comical flair,subtle twists and sweet romance entwined together to create a lighthearted listen. A epilogue that come to the end of Amber’s adventure. A fun traveling listen or walking along the beach with earbuds
Narator Katlynn Millions has a peppy intonation, her sweet tone creates a smooth listen. Her talent is luminous and amplified in her performance. Would listen to other books narated by her.
