Heartbreaking and Beautiful

Revisado: 01-29-24

Wonderful story, so human, full of pain and love! Once deep into the story, couldn’t stop! I laughed and cried, and felt so much. I love Francine Rivers and her books. This one reminded me in ways of Redeeming Love… though a patient, loving and persistent God doesn’t change does it? The narrator wasn’t my favorite, but thankfully Francine’s writing shines beyond the voice!

Loved it!

Revisado: 11-01-23

Just a simple heartwarming story! Close enough to the Hallmark movie but different enough to keep you interested! Definitely made me smile!

A Hit and Miss

Revisado: 07-10-23

I really appreciated her honesty and humor in this book, it definitely made me laugh! I was hoping for a little more of her faith tied into it, so without that, it felt more like Shauna’s Tales. I didn’t like how it was read, too fast and barely a pause between chapters. I didn’t even have a moment to think about what she discussed before we were into the next chapter. I think I would read it again, because there were definitely moments that were incredibly touching that I would underline, but I don’t know if I would listen to her books again.

Authentic, real, heartwarming, inspiring

Revisado: 06-27-23

I loved this book so much more than I thought I would! This isn’t a type of book that I typically read, but I was drawn to it, because it seem to have elements of those hallmark type movies that I love so much. And I loved the authenticity of this book. There were so many heartwarming moments and inspiring and hopeful moments, but it was also very real, and wasn’t necessarily sugarcoated. But that gives the person a sense of hope. There’s something to look forward to, and it may not always be pretty, But beautiful things can happen when you least expect it, or in a timeline that you don’t expect it. This book was like having coffee with your very best friend. There’s times where you laugh, times, where you cry, and times where you just open up your hearts to one another. I truly appreciated the realness of this book, and I would definitely read it, and listen to it again.

Like Sitting with a Girlfriend

Revisado: 06-22-23

I loved this book! I had no idea it was exactly what I needed to hear. I went and bought the book just because I wanted to go over it again, highlight and write like I do with my favorites. Now that I have it, it looks too pretty! I can’t wait to go over it again!

Read, Don’t Listen

Revisado: 06-14-22

I will definitely buy this book! I love that it’s something you can read each day for short applications, and for that structure, I think it’s better to read than listen. I wasn’t a fan of the narrator, she almost sounded like a robot to me. I love Karen Ehman and her personality, I would have much rather listened to her or someone closer to her personality.

Probably better to hold the book in person

Revisado: 05-24-22

I think this book has a lot of great ideas to refer back to. In terms of listening to it as an audiobook, I missed the energy that I pictured a group of ladies to bring to a table. I think this book would be better when you can hold it in your hand and look at all the recipes. The narrator, while clear, didn’t bring a sense of energy and fun and vibrancy that I pictured when a group of ladies get together around the table.

Too Much

Revisado: 05-22-22

I could see buying this book to refer back to time and again, but I couldn’t get through this AudioBook. Between the way it was read and the way it was written, it was just too much. I definitely didn’t feel like I was listening to a friend that I could relate to. It was very fluffy, I felt like we really didn’t get to the heart of things efficiently, so I kept fast forwarding. After multiple chapters of fast forwarding, I just decided to stop listening and move on. I think it has some decent info in there, but it’s too painful to listen to, I’d rather just flip the pages real quick.

Didn’t Want it to End!

Revisado: 05-15-22

So good! I thought the narrator did a wonderful job, and I look forward to buying the book, highlighting and underlining so much of it! This was inspiring and uplifting, and just what I needed!
