Good narration, sub-par story

Revisado: 06-22-23

This is one hyped up book that I do not get the hype. It was a fairly lame mystery. Hannah, who is the most boring protagonist I’ve ever read, figured it out within a week. I can’t believe this was made into a mini-series. It’s one saving grace was that it was short.

Really Great (until the end)

Revisado: 06-04-23

Really good family dramedy. Excellent narrator. However, the end felt so out of place and out of nowhere and gave the end of the book a very different tone than the rest.

Absolute Garbage

Revisado: 05-30-23

The narrator was fine and that was the only thing to like about this book.
Something like a dozen people recommended this to me and I have no idea why. This was a DNF for me. I got halfway through and decided to not waste anymore time on something with no redeeming qualities. The characters are awful, the storyline is terrible, the writing is abysmal. It’s so bad. I cannot fathom why anyone I know would read this let alone recommend it to me. It’s complete and utter garbage and I’m shocked it was published. How is this a series?????

Captivating

Revisado: 03-08-23

This was one of the best books I’ve ever read. It started slow and I thought I was going to give up but I’m so glad I kept going. Historical fiction always leads me to researching the actual places, people and events so in between listening I’ve been reading up on Jeju, the atrocities outlined throughout the book and the haenyeo. I loved following Young Sook and her beautifully moving story.

Interesting, unique, charming

Revisado: 02-21-23

This is not the type of book I normally read. Someone recommended it a while ago and I bought it and am just not listening to it. I spent the majority of the book assuming it was supernatural and that Ursa really was from the stars. The reveal towards the end was a little wonky but ultimately I liked it and the ending. Would recommend.

Really enjoyed this!

Revisado: 02-15-23

I would definitely recommend this book, especially on Audible because the narration was amazing. It is rare to come across a unique storyline these days but this got it right. I really liked The Wife Between Us by this duo but hated You are not Alone so I was nervous which way it would go but it was even better than TWBU.

Slow start but great play out

Revisado: 01-31-23

Starts slow but worth finishing. Really enjoyed it. Very complex and layered storyline, I almost took notes but eventually got it all figured out and was able to follow. I did not expect that ending at all.

Wow! So good!

Revisado: 01-23-23

I’ve read a lot of crap lately but I really liked this book. The ending wasn’t my favorite but I liked the rest of the book enough to make that a moot point for me.

Domestic Abuse

Revisado: 01-20-23

Too many books deal with the subject of domestic violence and it’s overdone, rarely original and mentally exhausting. This book was not great and wasn’t worth reading. There was a touch of uniqueness that the husband was just a true psychopath with absolutely no redeeming qualities. I liked Esther and Millie. It would have been better as a short story if it had to be published at all.

It was ok

Revisado: 12-26-22

Story was fine but way too long and drawn out. It could have been half the length and gotten the point across.
