Very, very repetitive

I’ve purchased every Eve Dallas book but this will be my last one. There wasn’t anything new in this story. Eve’s silly musings were all tired. The story wasn’t remotely interesting. Her interactions with Roarke, Peabody and Mavis were old and predictable. I kept listening hoping this would be the chapter that gave us a new Eve - maybe embarking on motherhood herself. Nope. This was more of the same with nothing new, interesting or unexpected.

Surprising story!

Revisado: 09-02-24

I chose this book because it popped up as recommended. I had never heard of it and had no expectations.

If you have ever felt like an island of one, buy this book. If you’ve ever been clueless about where you fit in this world, buy this book. This is a story of redemption and forgiveness. It is a story about coming out on the other side. It is sad. It is funny. It is real. Buy it and start listening. I’m so glad I did.

Confusing and Disappointing

Revisado: 04-20-23

First let me say I love Jojo Moyes and have read more than one of her books. This story had so much potential but the constant time changes made it very confusing and difficult to follow. I think it might be better reading/listening to it a second time to be able to grasp what all the “before” stories were about.

While some reviewers commented on the “surprise” ending, I found it disappointing and unfulfilling.

Lisa Gardner is incredibly talented. I’ll be working my way through all her books. I can’t wait for the next addition to this series.

Predictable but a fun ride.

The story is a modern day Cinderella / Pretty Woman. It was very predictable but a sweet, enjoyable listen. Phillipa Soo does a great job.

Worst Nicholas Sparks Book Ever

Revisado: 07-12-21

This story is so weak and uncharacteristically bad that I sincerely doubt that Sparks wrote it. The music and sound effects border on absurd. Sorry but I can’t find a shred of redeeming value here.

Disappointing

Revisado: 11-23-20

I love Baldacci and have never given his work a less than stellar review. Too much of the story was just plain unrealistic. I usually enjoy familiar characters from another series playing a cameo but this one just didn’t work for me. This book seemed forced and not up to the level of any other Baldacci tale. You’ll buy it anyway. You’ll be disappointed.

So much wasted potential

Revisado: 05-06-20

This book could be the kind of book you remember reading for years. The plot has so much potential but it falls miserably short. Where was the editor? I think a full third of the book could have been cut with no loss to the story. Additionally, the areas the reader most needs to hear about are completely absent.

SPOILER ALERT - Stop here if you don't want any insights into the book: We never really know anything about the actual life of Collette. When we meet her she is 3 years old and the next time we see her is 10 hours later (in the audio book). REALLY???? There is so much that we missed because the author didn't want to divulge the big secret. Her journey must have been amazing and we missed it.

Another huge miss are the excerpts from the bee keepers journal at the beginning of each chapter. We could have been given peeks into the life of the bee keeper through his journaling. I wish we could have learned more about the interactions of the two bee keepers. It would have made the reunion so much more poignant. Grandpa's story (and the mind numbing pain he carried for 60 years) is just missing. We know NOTHING! What an incredible character he could have been. His actions have the most impact on the story and we know nothing. HUGE MISS!!!!!!

I understand the book is meant to be about the pain we cause those we love and that understanding each other brings peace. Unfortunately, we only know a small part of what happened to Birdie and her father without being given the opportunity to walk with them.

Too much fun!

Revisado: 03-04-20

This book was absolutely delightful! It could be my new favorite Dorothea Benton Frank book. The characters are fun and I really enjoyed every minute spent with them.
