I listened to this as a book club pick. The characters and basic story are beautiful and compelling, the hard part was how drawn out it all is. At times, reminiscent of Girl Interrupted, about what little power adolescent girls have over their bodies and choices. Most of the white, professional adults behave abhorrently and apparently without consequences. However the reunion in final chapters was satisfying, if a looonng time coming. The author added a great deal to the story. I found reading at 1.15 or 1.20 helped me finish!

The narrator of this story is so pretentious. The story of the Thatches held great promise, but is never treated as more than a voyeuristic obsession of a shallow and unlikeable narrator/author. There was no depth given to the characters and there should have been, yet we were subjected to entire paragraphs and chapters of tedious opining from a narrator tattling out a story because why? He had nothing better to do? Half this book was irritating. I live near this town, but did not grow up here. The book tiptoed near giving a glimpse of what it is like to grow up here, and what your prospects are if you didn’t come from money, but are still smart and hardworking. Why shouldn’t you have the opportunity to prosper? This was rich territory that sadly the author treated superficially. What kept me going were the the Thatches and the fact this was part of a book club read. The narration was decent.

Wonderful escape with a thoroughly enjoyable protagonist. One of those books you can’t put down. Hope to read more.

I am a longtime fan of Caroline Myss. And there is some great content here, but honestly it becomes painful to listen to because it sounds like she’s having a tantrum. I’ll finish it, but it’s not her best delivery. I want to learn from her, not be ranted at.

This extended conversation between these two women is such a gift. Timeless and full of wisdom. I have already listened to it twice, and imagine it’s something I will keep coming back to for the important lessons it offers. I’m very grateful that someone thought to record this beautiful exchange from two of mr favorite women and teachers.

I love her stories and how she unpacks their meanings. This book is soul food.

a lovely, light story of a great cast of characters. The narration was on point.

Great Characters, Story takes too long to unfold. It gets a little old listening to Frankie's monologue. narration is what kept me engaged.

I love the Minnesota and Twin Cities references. I love most of the characters in this series. but sometimes the story becomes another story within another story and detracts. Plus the lead character needs to develop.

I was compelled to read this after Olivia Newton John's passing. I've been a lifelong fan, but I had no idea about how many adventures and how much Olivia has done for both the environment and cancer. in addition to being a fan I'm in awe of the life she built for herself and the impact she's had on the world.
