Sue is the best

Revisado: 03-05-24

Forrest has some crazy adventures- and Sue is a fun character. However, the film is much better. The movie has a sweet nostalgic feeling, where as the book is really bizzare at times. It is definitely worth listening to if you are a fan of the film.

Helpful and funny

Revisado: 02-24-24

The author is super funny and helpful. I love Marie Kondo, but this author brings some humor to the tidy and declutter process.

Glorious audio book, start to finish. Beautiful love story set in a 1930’s traveling circus setting. I cried at the end.

Inspiring memoir, but she also seems lucky

Revisado: 06-26-23

I was recently diagnosed with type 2 narcolepsy after 20 years of struggle. Symptoms started in my teens, but I wasn’t given an official diagnosis until I spent a week in a French sleep hospital and went through tons of tests. Julie describes what it is like to have narcolepsy very well, and I loved how training in marathons helped give her greater purpose.
However, I’m a still struggling to understand how she paid her bills while going to law school, and after. She chose to write, instead of practice law, which is wonderful. However, The absence of “work” in her story is weird. I get the impression this author had a lot of financial and emotional support from her family, and a lot of people don’t have that luxury. I had to work 30 hours a week in coffee shops and nannying all through undergrad, while also having narcolepsy symptoms. This illness has greatly interfered with my personal and professional life. I was once a stage actress and elementary school teacher, but had to stop recently because I could not function at work or memorize lines. Me not working has put a tremendous amount of financial stress on my marriage. The author never talks about struggles related to rent, medical bills, or fear of homelessness. She waited a short time to get a diagnosis. Not everyone is so lucky.
Regardless, I am happy to have purchased her book, and to know I am not alone in this struggle. Julie Flygare has inspired me to start training for running marathons, and for that, I am grateful. ❤️

Inspiring read

Revisado: 12-15-22

Such a life changing book for me, and hopefully others who struggle with the AA program. I’ve been around old timers in AA, and I feel like they can be very black and white, and don’t necessarily see the gray. Holly Whitaker does. Thank you 🥰

Best book about BPD

Revisado: 12-14-22

Thank you, Rosie Cappuccino, for this wonderful audio book. It has helped me immensely, and I plan to buy a hardback, and extra copies for some of my loved ones that don’t understand but want to learn more about the condition.

Powerful story

Revisado: 12-12-22

Heavy story, but also demonstrates tremendous courage and bravery. Excellent read or listen to survivors of psychological and domestic abuse. My heart goes out to Vikki and her family. I finished listening to the book in one day
