I enjoyed this book quite a bit - great characters and storyline. I thought some parts were predictable, but still wanted to see if it was going the way I expected. I loved the little kindnesses that seemed unexpected to the protagonist, Lizzy. it was a very enjoyable listen that I would highly recommend.

I loved the characters and the story line. The character of Gervais was very quirky and seemed shifty. The issues that arose with the brothers personally and as a group were very realistic. I have four siblings and there are often things that are unresolved and will rise up occasionally.

I love the straightforward style of Lisa Jewell and enjoy her books. I highly recommend this book.

This was a very enjoyable book, I was sad it ended so quickly. The story line was engaging and interesting. I loved the character of Tom or Etienne. His humanity rules his beliefs and actions which limits his ability to really live a full life. He is consumed by his past which impacts his present life. He had experienced the worst of many people and yet wanted desperately to believe in kindness and truth. The character you love to hate is Hendrick. The antagonist is very well written and hearing the story really brings him to life. I highly recommend this book.

I enjoyed this book and narration. I was a bit surprised by the lack of suspense that Jewel normally displays in her books but I enjoyed the story line. This book focused on the Bird family over several decades, through ups and downs, marriages, divorces and deaths. I highly recommend this book.

I really enjoyed the narration and found the descriptive prose engaging. It's always good to learn more about topics that we are uncomfortable with.

I really enjoyed the narration of this story. Having a person with a German or Eastern European accent gave the story a much more authentic feel to it. It is always a good reminder to see the goodness that can occur during dark times. WWII had so much death and hatred, but love and friendship also blossomed. It was sad that the protagonist didn't learn her true story until later in life. There is hope she may find more family upon going to Romania.

I would recommend this short story.

I really enjoyed this audible about the Skinner family. The four children have an extremely tight bond as they need to count on each other for everything - love, food, security - while their mother is unable to participate in their lives. They work hard toward following their passion. it's interesting how the siblings and their relationships evolve over the adult lives. I would highly recommend this book.

I listened to this audiobook while driving for 12 hours. I enjoyed the different narratives but felt a lot of the storyline was very predictable. Although I didn't have all of the details figured out I would have enjoyed the book more if it had some surprises. It did keep me entertained and awake so I would recommend it.

I thought this was a fun little story that questions how well people really know each other. How we sometimes surprise our selves and others. Short story that packed a lot of drama and characters into it. I enjoyed this book and would recommend it.

I really enjoyed this book. it was a sequel that tied up all of the lose ends and delved deeper into each of the characters. The narrators were fantastic and allowed the listener to easily visualize the story. I highly recommend this book. I am a bigger fan of Lisa Jewel!
