ROBIN

I don't always read romance...

Revisado: 04-14-25

But when I do, I want it to be from this author! I'm only sad that it's over.
Also, this book was exceptionally well narrated. I very highly recommend

Reproachful

Revisado: 03-24-25

The word reproach was used way too many times in this book. The overall story was alright, and it held my interest for the most part. But the writing and the narration both seemed rather immature. I definitely didn't love this book, and wouldn't recommend it

Love this author!

Revisado: 03-17-25

I enjoyed this book so much. There was definitely laughter, but also tears.
The female narrator wasn't my favorite, especially when she said Kristen at the beginning of her chapters (cringy), but overall I can definitely recommend this listen

Multifaceted

Revisado: 02-14-25

As a diver, there are parts of this book that I absolutely loved, and parts that saddened me.
As someone who remembers a time before computers and internet, there are parts of this book that are absolutely terrifying.
Overall, I enjoyed the book, but certain parts felt either beyond me intellectually, or were just to confusing to tie together the timeline.
And with this many narrators, some were very good, and some were less so, but I still enjoyed the listen.

Not my favorite, but still so good!

Revisado: 01-31-25

One of my favorite things about JP novels is that I am guaranteed to learn something, and I did. I also stayed interested from beginning to end, and from me, that is a big compliment.
However, this story did seem to drag on a lot, and so much of it felt like it was happening in real time, especially the parts in a courtroom. I did not love the narration for most of this book either. Having said all of this, Jodi Picoult is still a superior writer, and I look forward to my next book from her

Unreliable narrator

Revisado: 01-24-25

I waited a long time for this book to come out, but after I started it, I wasn't even sure I would finish it. I absolutely do not enjoy an unreliable narrator. Whether they have amnesia, or they are drunk or drugged all the time... or just generally think they're losing their minds, if I know it in advance, I won't even read or listen to it. This story line is SO far fetched, and it doesn't have any really likable characters, so at this point I'm just glad it's over, and I think my 2 star rating is generous. I definitely can't recommend the book.

Should probably be 5 starts

Revisado: 01-17-25

Jody Picoult is an exceptional author, probably one of the best of my generation. And whether I want to or not, I always learn something when I read, or listen to one of her books. I am giving this novel 4 stars instead of the 5 it probably deserves, because 1) I hold her to a higher standard. 2) for me, there was just too much Egyptology detail , and 3) the narrator made Wyatt's voice far to feminine.
Obviously I am nit picking, and I still very highly recommend this book.
On a personal side note, after a recent loss, I found the death doula parts of this story comforting and insightful .

Looonnnggg story of unlikable characters

Revisado: 01-07-25

This story goes on far too long which also makes it too slow. But it's also a mystery involving mostly unlikable, self centered women. It was well narrated, but I can't really recommend it. I appreciate that it was free

An outstanding book and listen

Revisado: 12-30-24

I have skipped over this title so many times , because although I love this author, I really didn’t expect to enjoy anything connected to Shakespeare.
I'm SO glad that I read enough reviews that said to listen anyway, and I highly recommend that you do too!
**Would also be an EXCELLENT book club pick

Maybe the weirdest story I ever loved

Revisado: 12-20-24

If you can get past the first 10 minutes of the P word, this is a fun story with a good message. But the narration and the way the story is told was definitely my favorite part
