Historia
Lowen Ashleigh is a struggling writer on the brink of financial ruin when she accepts the job offer of a lifetime. Jeremy Crawford, husband of best-selling author Verity Crawford, has hired Lowen to complete the remaining books in a successful series his injured wife is unable to finish. Lowen arrives at the Crawford home, ready to sort through years of Verity's notes and outlines, hoping to find enough material to get her started. What Lowen doesn't expect to uncover in the chaotic office is an unfinished autobiography Verity never intended for anyone to read.

Interesting
Revisado: 03-16-23
This book is an interesting take on your typical thriller. I like that Verity was not a basic “feel good” protagonist that makes the reader feel bad for her mistakes. It’s a breath of fresh air hearing a manuscript from a woman who isn’t raving about motherhood. Also some nice twists along the way in a pretty fast paced read/listen. A bit overkill on the sex scenes, but I guess sex sells. I would recommend it.

Decent Book
Revisado: 03-08-23
I just could not get into the English narrator, so the 70’s flashbacks were a complete struggle to focus my attention. The other narrator(s) reading Chess and Em was great though. A story about friendships and writers and their dark sides, nothing too deep character development wise. The plot “twists” are pretty predictable. At least it was short and didn’t drag on. Read it with my book club and the others loved it, so I guess it’s worth a read.

An overall good mystery. It kind of drags on, but has some unexpected twists and turns. All of the narrator’s are unreliable so you won’t know who to believe.

Historia
In pitch-perfect voices, Kathryn Stockett creates three extraordinary women whose determination to start a movement of their own forever changes a town, and the way women—mothers, daughters, caregivers, friends—view one another. A deeply moving novel filled with poignancy, humor, and hope, The Help is a timeless and universal story about the lines we abide by, and the ones we don't.

A good perspective that could be true during the 1960’s. Very great story with excellent character development! I was rooting for their book to be successful so they would quit their awful jobs and cherished Maybelline’s history lessons with May Mobley. Highly recommend this novel; you will cry in the end!

Historia
You’ve never met the other wives. None of you know each other, and because of this unconventional arrangement, you can see your husband only one day a week. But you love him so much you don’t care. Or at least that’s what you’ve told yourself. But one day, while you’re doing laundry, you find a scrap of paper in his pocket—an appointment reminder for a woman named Hannah, and you just know it’s another of the wives.

Terrible
Revisado: 05-20-22
Although at first it seems like an interesting take of a polygamist relationship, it’s really cheesy and just bad. The narrator is so untrustworthy that her delusions make the story nonsensical. Don’t waste your time reading this.

Historia
If Avery Chambers can’t fix you in 10 sessions, she won’t take you on as a client. Her successes are phenomenal—she helps people overcome everything from domineering parents to assault—and almost absorbs the emptiness she sometimes feels since her husband’s death. Marissa and Mathew Bishop seem like the golden couple—until Marissa cheats. She wants to repair things, both because she loves her husband and for the sake of their eight-year-old son. After a friend forwards an article about Avery, Marissa takes a chance on this maverick therapist.

Gripping

Interesting approach of psychology from different points of view. Intense and gripping from the beginning with twists and turns that keep you guessing. Great ending; would love to see a sequel to see what’s next for the characters.

Historia
George Orwell depicts a gray, totalitarian world dominated by Big Brother and its vast network of agents, including the Thought Police - a world in which news is manufactured according to the authorities' will and people live tepid lives by rote. Winston Smith, a hero with no heroic qualities, longs only for truth and decency. But living in a social system in which privacy does not exist and where those with unorthodox ideas are brainwashed or put to death, he knows there is no hope for him.

Historia
Daisy is a girl coming of age in LA in the late '60s, sneaking into clubs on the Sunset Strip, sleeping with rock stars, and dreaming of singing at the Whisky a Go Go. The sex and drugs are thrilling, but it’s the rock and roll she loves most. By the time she’s 20, her voice is getting noticed, and she has the kind of heedless beauty that makes people do crazy things. Also getting noticed is The Six, a band led by the brooding Billy Dunne.

Not my Favorite
Revisado: 04-07-22
Very slow, pretty predictable and boring. The most interesting/funniest characters only had small parts. Although I could listen to Graham’s deep narrative voice all day. I usually like anything Reid writes, but this was a miss for me.

Finlay Donovan is killing it...except, she’s really not. The new book she promised her literary agent isn’t written, her ex-husband fired the nanny without telling her, and this morning she had to send her four-year-old to school with hair duct-taped to her head.

Fabulous
Revisado: 02-19-22
Wonderfully written historical fiction, transplants you into the streets of London in the 1940’s. The character development and attention to detail is incredible. The romance is sophisticated and will give you chills. You really feel for the characters vow to secrecy and duty to their country during the war. The author’s note was “topping” as the story is based on real people and events. Must listen/read!
