I am not black and not male, but Rashid's/Common's words elevated me. They are a call to celebrate our gifts, a light and a reminder that our participation is required to rise and resonate on a higher level. I appreciated the practical advice, the vulnerability and the hard won truths that were shared. Blessings to a beautiful soul for giving back so much. Your reach is larger than you might suspect.

Loved the story and the HEA. Really appreciated that female roles were read by a woman and male roles by a man. It was an enjoyable story. The only thing that took away from the story was the southern accent of the female narrator, when she was supposed so be from New York.

It was a fun story and enjoyed the plot twist, BUT the protagonist was annoyingly selfish. Her best friend and ex-boyfriend were interesting and fun characters. The LA setting was enjoyable. The personal growth was appreciated. It was just hard to be invested in the main character because she was so self-centered and such a crappy friend/partner. I was rooting for the HEA on Liam's behalf, not the protagonists. The narration was excellent.

The story was fun, similar to others in the series. However, although the male narrator was a talented story teller and had a great voice, he was supposed to be a young Canadian man. There was no North American diction AND he read the Canadian parents with a Southern/Texas intonation. PLEASE, keep this reader, but NOT for similar roles. It made it hard to get into the story when he was reading ( the female narrators was lovely).

Sweet, fun, delightfully predictable story. A minor comment is that the story has more swearing than is needed. The thing that made it only 4 stars for me is the horrible female voice of the male narrator (his male voice is spot on).

This was a fascinating treatis on the French versus North American approach to food and family. Although the author is focused on her children's eating habits, I felt that the challenges stemmed from the authors limited palate, maladaptive habits and cultural anxieties. I commend her for the extensive research and her tenacity. However, at times her intransigence to change and basic palate seemed to infect her children. I guess that might just reflect how hard change or growth can be. It was also sad that she opted to move her family back to Canada after 1 year. The French experience seemed a much healthier and balanced way to raise a family.

A similar book that I would HIGHLY recommend is "Bringing Up Bebe".

This is magical realism at its finest. The characters were well drawn out. The historical fiction aspect was captivating. The back and forth in time-line could be occasionally confusing, but not enough to ruin the story. The narrators were phenomenal. I would highly recommend this audiobook, but make sure to have tissues on hand.

What's not to love about love, books and baked goods?! The idea was good. The narrators were fantastic. Loved the supporting cast. However, the main characters were very off putting at times. The saucy scenes were done perfectly (good spice and not too graphic).

The story was entertaining and in the same vein as his other novels. I appreciated that his characters are not one dimensionality (he gave context to their poor behavior). However, I would have really appreciated more than one narrator. The female voices, especially the British accent was good, but I was desperately wishing for some good male narrators (apart from the one German cameo). I know that I will continue to read Mr. Kwan's books.

This was like sitting down with a great cup of Masada Chai tea. It has sweet, spicy and comforting elements. It was especially nice to portray the characters as fallible but worth investigating time and energy in getting to know. It is clean enough to share with Mom. And the narrators were fantastic. Highly recommended for a thoughtful, clean rom-com.
