Anne and Marco Conti seem to have it all—a loving relationship, a wonderful home, and their beautiful baby, Cora. But one night, when they are at a dinner party next door, a terrible crime is committed. Suspicion immediately lands on the parents. But the truth is a much more complicated story.

Dreadfully Predictable
Revisado: 07-30-21
There was no question what was going to happen next at any point in this story. The characters are one dimensional, the plot obvious, the "twists" predictable. Had the narrator not been compelling and the overall read short, I would have shut it off but I figured I may as well finish it.

When someone asks you to spend your life with him, it shouldn't come as a surprise - or happen in front of 45,000 people. When freelance writer Nikole Paterson goes to a Dodgers game with her actor boyfriend, his man bun, and his bros, the last thing she expects is a scoreboard proposal. Saying no isn't the hard part - they've only been dating for five months, and he can't even spell her name correctly. The hard part is having to face a stadium full of disappointed fans....

Even For Mindless Chic-Lit, This Is Awful
Revisado: 06-07-19
This read to me like a C+ level final project for an undergraduate novel writing course where the author's editor was her leisure studies major roommate. Whenever five well-chosen words could have been used, 50 mundane ones were used, instead. The amount of repetition, over-explaining, and inane dialogue nearly has me shutting this off a million times but listening to this was like seeing a car wreck - I just couldn't turn away.
I understand this is a mindless, beach read, but this was way too predictable even for that genre. I knew 15 minutes in, more or less, how things would play out. The only trope missing from this was a pregnancy scare on the part of the main character.
There's a lot of great books to sink into while drinking a daquiri at the pool but this isn't one of them. This was infuriating from every possible angle (including the overly emphasised pronunciation and weak attempts at character voices by the narrator).
Don't waste your time on this.

After a long and eventful life, Allan Karlsson ends up in a nursing home, believing it to be his last stop. The only problem is that he's still in good health, and in one day, he turns 100. A big celebration is in the works, but Allan really isn't interested (and he'd like a bit more control over his vodka consumption). So he decides to escape. He climbs out the window in his slippers and embarks on a hilarious and entirely unexpected journey, involving, among other surprises, a suitcase stuffed with cash.

It's a fun, little, romp.

It's Forest Gump meets How to Get Away With Murder. I found it very enjoyable.

Here is a tautly paced investigation of one the 20th century's most audacious art frauds, which generated hundreds of forgeries - many of them still hanging in prominent museums and private collections today. Provenance is the extraordinary narrative of one of the most far-reaching and elaborate deceptions in art history.

Interesting account of a 20th art caper
Revisado: 09-27-15
All in all this is an extremely interesting story. It's sometimes hard to believe it's a story happening in the 1980s and 1990s and not in the 1800s. To perpetrate a con this elaborate in modern times seems impossible.
My only criticism with the story structure is a total lack of suspense. While the overall outcome may be known/obvious, even the minor subplots are made all too apparent long before the author dives deeply into their details. That being said, it's only a minor criticism and the story is worth hearing (even for an art neophyte, like myself).
