Excellent!

This is by far one of the best books I’ve read. I will admit I almost stopped listening at the beginning. It was all a bit too heavy for me. But, I’m so glad I stuck it out. The characters are all so realistic and well-developed. The narrator is excellent.

Soooo boring

Revisado: 08-25-24

Let me start by saying I am not a writer and I’m not sure I could write a convincing story. However, this book was really so boring. This is my third Carley Fortune book and by far my least favorite. I think it was my last. I found Lucy to be unrealistic and incredibly childish. The whole book read like a tween’s view of adulthood and Lucy was so immature I found it unbelievable she could own a thriving business and purchase real estate. Also, where was the editor? There was so much unnecessary detail in the book. The story and the audio probably could have been trimmed down by several hours. One line that stood out (I’m paraphrasing bc I can’t possibly go back) was: “I show Felix how to use my coffee maker and he makes a pot while I’m in the shower.” There’s so much of this kind of detail that does nothing to move the story forward. Why?? I feel like I know so much about their tea and coffee preferences but to what end? Snooze. I honestly should have stopped listening but I wanted to give the author the benefit of the doubt.

Great read

So many reviews say there’s no plot line — I disagree. There are three mini stories that wind together for a subtle but lovely conclusion. That said, I do think I enjoyed this book more as a former New Yorker and might not have been as amused by the characters otherwise.

Fabulous, As Always

Revisado: 10-21-23

I’ve been reading Sophie Kinsella’s work for almost 20 years, since Confessions of a Shopaholic. She never, never disappoints! This book was a bit more serious than some of her other stories but I loved it. Sasha and her burnout were so relatable to modern life and the message was great. Already looking forward to her next release!

Fabulous!

I absolutely loved this book! The story, writing, and multiple perspectives were all wonderful in this book. I usually am wary of books with multiple narrators, but the three intertwined stories and corresponding narration were perfect. I have a background in American Fine and Decorative Art and particularly enjoyed Andie’s story. It was a wonderful blending of historical and contemporary fiction — a summer must-read!

A lovely and thoughtful reading of a timeless story! Rosamund Pike is a wonderful narrator.
