Story
In 2022, Lisa Marie Presley asked her daughter to help finally finish her long-gestating memoir. A month later, Lisa Marie was dead, and the world would never know her story in her own words, never know the passionate, joyful, caring, and complicated woman that Riley loved and now grieved. Riley got the tapes that her mother had recorded for the book, lay in her bed, and listened as Lisa Marie told story after story about smashing golf carts together in the yards of Graceland, about the unconditional love she felt from her father, about being upstairs, just the two of them.

Story
Sydney Shaw, like every single woman in New York, has terrible luck with dating. She’s seen it all: men who lie in their dating profile, men who stick her with the dinner bill, and worst of all, men who can't shut up about their mothers. But finally, she hits the jackpot. Her new boyfriend is utterly perfect. He's charming, handsome, and works as a doctor at a local hospital. Sydney is swept off her feet. Then the brutal murder of a young woman—the latest in a string of deaths across the coast—confounds police. The primary suspect? A mystery man who dates his victims before he kills them.

The plane is jam-packed. Every seat is taken. So of course the flight is delayed! Flight attendant Allegra Patel likes her job—she’s generally happy with her life, even if she can’t figure out why she hooks up with a man she barely speaks to—but today is her twenty-eighth birthday. She can think of plenty of things she’d rather be doing than placating a bunch of grumpy passengers.

This Guide Covers It All!
I learned so much from this audiobook, even though I lived on the Big Island for 3 years! I especially appreciated the author's breakdown of all the 7 districts - I didn't experience half of the adventures in each because I didn't know what I was missing. I would highly recommend listening to this with a notepad, writing down as many of the outings as possible. It would take months to explore all of the treasures in this guide. Put it on in your vehicle and go holoholo!

Making a Hawaiian Adventure Meaningful
I can't wait to visit Hawaii with my kids. Listening to this guide felt like having a personal travel buddy with me, taking the stress out of planning my trip to the Big Island! My favorite part was the insider scoop on the best beaches, especially the black sands of Punaluʻu (which I had heard of) and the green sands of Papakōlea (which I hadn't heard of).
The budget tips were helpful, so I can be confident we can do this trip without overspending.
I wish it had a few recommendations for gourmet dining spots around the island. That would've made it absolutely perfect! If you're dreaming of exploring the Big Island, this audiobook will help pump you up for an incredible experience. It's a must-listen before you go :)

Great travel/adventure guide for The Big Island!
If I ever go to the Big Island, I will re-listen to this audiobook again and take a lot of notes. Or, I'll buy the paperback. I can't think of anything that was left out. From beaches to campgrounds to various levels of hotels to restaurants to volcanoes to golf to tours to hiking and anything else you can think of, it's covered in this book. It's very comprehensive. If anyone is planning to visit the Big Island anytime soon, I'd definitely recommend this book.
