Historia
As the daughter of a drug dealer, Wavy knows not to trust people, not even her own parents. It's safer to keep her mouth shut and stay out of sight. Struggling to raise her little brother, Donal, eight-year-old Wavy is the only responsible adult around. Obsessed with the constellations, she finds peace in the starry night sky above the fields behind her house until one night her stargazing causes an accident. After witnessing his motorcycle wreck, she forms an unusual friendship with one of her father's thugs, Kellen, a tattooed ex-con with a heart of gold.

Best Described as creating Cognitive Dissonance
Revisado: 01-26-23
As I listened to the story I found myself conflicted. It started off innocent enough but it was hard to view through the lens of a love story; probably because it's not. As uncomfortable as it was, I did push through and listened to the end. Honestly, I'm still unsettled and haven't reconciled my feeling over this book. Warning it's not for the faint of heart and not your traditional coming-of-age story.

Historia
Growing up in foster care, Muir has lived in many houses. And if she's learned one thing, it is to Pack. Light. Carry only what fits in a suitcase. Toothbrush? Yes. Socks? Yes. Emotional attachment to friends? Foster families? A boyfriend? Nope! There's no room for any additional baggage. Muir has just one year left before she ages out of the system. One year before she's free. One year to avoid anything - or anyone - that could get in her way. Then she meets Francine. And Kira. And Sean. And everything changes.

Historia
Eva Santos Moon is a burgeoning Chicana artist who practices the ancient, spiritual ways of brujería and curanderisma, but she’s at one of her lowest points—suffering from disorienting blackouts, creative stagnation, and a feeling of disconnect from her magickal roots. When her husband, a beloved university professor and the glue that holds their family together, is taken into custody for the shocking murder of their friend, Eva doesn’t know whom to trust—least of all, herself. She soon falls under suspicion as a potential suspect, and her past rises to the surface.

Self serving main character
Revisado: 12-05-22
I found this book very long winded, so much unnecessary fillers went into it. The performance was horrible. Every time I'd hear the word Babe I felt like turning off the audible. even more unlike was the main character.

Only somewhat terrible
Revisado: 06-23-22
I managed to get through the entire book, but just barley. I never once found myself rooting for the main character, Lucy. I found her to be a self absorbed whining brat much like the character of her son. Also the narrating is horrible. I often found myself getting frustrated with the narration that I wanted to turn it off. The only reason I got through it was because I wanted to know what happend to Marva.

Historia
There is a voice of longing inside each woman. We strive so mightily to be good: good partners, daughters, mothers, employees, and friends. We hope all this striving will make us feel alive. Instead, it leaves us feeling weary, stuck, overwhelmed, and underwhelmed. We look at our lives and wonder: Wasn’t it all supposed to be more beautiful than this? We quickly silence that question, telling ourselves to be grateful, hiding our discontent—even from ourselves.

I couldn't finish it
Revisado: 06-16-22
This book is the most underwhelming book I've listened to in a long time. She comes off as a self-absorbed, entitled person. I got through a couple of hours and then couldn't stand it. I'm returning the book.

Historia
Meet Ove. He’s a curmudgeon—the kind of man who points at people he dislikes as if they were burglars caught outside his bedroom window. He has staunch principles, strict routines, and a short fuse. But behind the cranky exterior there is a story and a sadness. So when one November morning a chatty young couple with two chatty young daughters move in next door and accidentally flatten Ove’s mailbox, it is the lead-in to a comical and heartwarming tale of unkempt cats, unexpected friendship, and the ancient art of backing up a U-Haul.

Not much substance
Revisado: 09-30-21
The narrator is good but there's not really much depth to this book. It's all things we know, common sense stuff.

As I listened to the first few chapters I thought, oh no, this is sounding like a book by a blogger become author. To my surprise, after a few chapters the story line developed. I found myself listening to the book whenever I could.

Comforting Listen
Revisado: 09-07-20
The listen provided some comfort by giving insights into what could happen to our pets when they leave us. Overall it was a great book, but I felt the author spent a significant time talking about herself. While I get why she provided her background, I think it could have been a bit more succinct.
The content itself was good, but there wasn't much depth behind it other than anecdotal stories. I wanted to understand 'how' and 'why' things happen, not just the what happens. So if you're like me, this book might leave you yearning for more answers.
