A Walk in Wildflower Park by Bella Osborne #BookReview #Audiobook #Novellas #JIAM

A Walk in Wildflower Park by Bella Osborne was originally published as an episodic story with 4 parts. I purchased the audiobook to listen to it as a completed novel, but did have each of the novellas on my kindle to read. I did a read/listen, but more listen than read. Below, I have reviewed each of the novellas separately. Overall, I give this book 4.5 stars. The audiobook was narrated by Candida Gubbins. I did find that I had to listen to this book slower than others due to her accent, but it was perfect for this book. Published November 19th 2019 by Avon Audio Fiction
