I love this series! The thinking girl's romance.

Revisado: 07-30-22

This series is not a simple adolescent romance romp. Lara Jean is a smart girl with her own drive & ambition, who is also a naive romantic with much to learn about life. The stories are rich with multiple threads & excellent writing. One of the few books I've listened to more than once. I love Lara Jean's ultimately optimistic view of life.

Most Maisie books are better, plodding melancholic

Revisado: 07-28-22

One of my least favorite Maisie Dobbs. I have Loved most of them. This one drug for me & the Narration was just toooo gently melancholic toooo much of the timmme. Would prefer more mention of the wisdom Maisie learned from Maurice & since on her own. And, it is past time for the flair of a little romance.

I lost track of the story in the soulful drone of the narration & plodding tempo. I quit caring too. It's not danger across enemy lines I'm looking for, as much as wisdom, romance & personal success for Maisie.

Compelling, not fun...

Wish it was more fun at some point... A compelling downer... The protagonists have too hard a time, for too long...

Tami Simon, beloved creator of Sounds True, gently, but fearlessly, guides wise & courageous guests in sharing their most profound, and in some circles tabu, learnings. I really appreciate that she does this for all of us to hear! 😀

Write More Books, Jane! :)

Revisado: 09-05-21

I've listened to all of JSH's books, but one. (The Witches... is too dark for me). My favorite book is Bluff. I enjoyed the poker references, I'd enjoy another book with that protagonist. I really like the relatableness and/or intelligence/gutsyness of her women. I like seeing a woman who has a life that doesn't depend on a man, but who does want a healthy relationship. I like seeing a woman who works her way past settling for a commitment-phobic man. I like that all this happens without the protagonist having children. I like that there is a backdrop of money.

Great weaving of characters with several fun twists. Loved the poker references, they made the story edgier & more interesting.

Sick downer.

Revisado: 12-06-18

Wish I could un-listen-to this. The story never had a payoff. It was a sick downer.
