I don't write reviews often, but I had to for this one. It was a good premise, but the execution was terrible. The "friends" trying to help the MC came across as mean and uncaring. Trying to make her feel bad for being a virgin. Making fun of someone for being ignorant about sex isn't kind, especially how they went about it. I couldn't get past the waxing scene. The goal was a funny scene...all I got was unprofessional abuse.
I'm all for people exploring their sexuality, but pushing and pressuring people like this is unconscionable.

Nora Roberts totally killed it with this book. Ms. LaVoy was a terrific narrator, and did such an amazing job with the different emotions and characters. For years, I have absolutely adored The Witness, and as other reviewers mentioned, Shelter In Place is very reminiscent of that style of writing. Roberts has a wide range of styles that she can write in, and some of her books are less appealing than others to me. The Witness is one that I have listened to at least five or six times since I purchased it. I have no doubt that this book will be very similarly used in my library.

I have always enjoyed it when I find a brilliant story told by a great author that has partnered with the perfect narrator. There are some series that I love enough to keep listening to, time after time, despite their narrators making my brain hurt with their less than stellar work. I did not have that problem at all with this book.

Shelter In Place is by far one of Nora's best books, and I look forward to reading more like this one. Do yourself a favor -- get this book!

This book was the funniest, most honest, most thought provoking biography I have ever read. Trevor Noah writes beautifully, and since he is narrating you really get exactly what he meant when he wrote the book.

I would sincerely recommend this book to anyone looking for a great story; great lessons from a man who has succeeded despite all the odds.

Trevor Noah, you are an inspiration.

I didn't expect what I found in this book. Though I don't particularly like this gutted feeling I have, the story was beautiful, and well written.
I have shed quite a few tears over Merle, and I feel that Ted has given the world a gift, for surely the emotions wrenched out by this book ought to be felt the world over.
So much love and life shared. I'm starting to cry again already.
Don't miss this fantastic tale of love, loss, and a journey to peace.

I love how this story weaved in so much world history, fitting it rather perfectly into this old man's life. Witty and very well done.
