Memoir-a historical account or biography, personal

Revisado: 02-11-23

I've only read very few autobiographies. All from persons I admired. I enjoyed learning about Prince Harry and Megan. I admire his honesty about his own memories. I identified with his feelings, and his frustration when someone tries to dissuade your own personal emotions as false. I very much enjoyed his reading as some authors are not natural narrators, or may add strong emphasis to their dialogue. I think, as an American, the most surprising discoveries were that old fashioned traditions and protocols I had only seen in movies or read in historical romance novels, are still practiced, still observed.

A good mystery. A dry reading

Revisado: 11-13-22

I enjoyed the story. The mystery has a lot of twists and turns. My experience with Carlene O'Connor's work has been with the Irish Village Mystery Series, so I was expecting more humor in this novel. But it is a straight murder mystery. I also stopped the listen early on to double check on the narrator. I enjoy hearing the Irish lilt for narration of stories with Irish names and locations. This particular audible is really just a reading, with no male/female voices or other performance-type narration. I needed to set the playback speed up to 115% to avoid issues with unusually long pauses. That might be an editing issue and not the norm for the reader.

I liked Little Big Man better.

Revisado: 06-11-22

I'm stopping in chap 16 of 30 of this 12 hour long audible book. At this point I've stopped and started so many times, listened to other books, then found that this one couldn't even have me bother to go back and refresh my memory of the long, droning on storyline.
It started with potential. And the synopsis was intriguing. But I found myself comparing it to the movie "Little Big Man" (US 1970), and even the escapades of "Forrest Gump" (movie, US 1994), and rating this story as much less thought provoking or entertaining. Even with the implied history lessons forced upon you.
I truly dislike giving up on a book, but I cannot relinguish any more time on this one.
Not my cup of tea.

Surprisingly funny and sweet

Revisado: 05-09-22

I won't deny there was a moment starting out when I thought "oh, that's like that movie." And yet, even though the theme around weddings has a lot of familiarity, the whole book had me giggling, laughing, exclaiming "oh no", and truly thoroughly enjoying the ride. The performance was brilliant and carried the humor and sweetness throughout the story. I was not familiar with Katy Birchall's novels, but I will be checking out her other work.

Come for the mystery, stay for the banter

Revisado: 03-21-22

Loved it! Each novel in this series is more delightful. I relistened to the whole series before starting this book and can honestly say I chuckled, giggled, laughed and put off a LOT of chores while enjoying this release. Loved the twists and turns in the plot too. Well done Carleen O'Connor! I can't wait for more of the story!!

Left me smiling

Revisado: 12-24-21

Really liked this story. Don't want to jinx or turn anybody off, but for me it had an inspirational feel. It's a sweet romance, and I'm left longing for a real life app that would encourage me in such a tailored, personal way to find my fit, healthy, happier self.
Narration was excellent.

Stick with it.

Revisado: 12-06-20

I wasn't sure at first if this story was for me. The plot was clever and cute, the narrator was lovely. The beginning was a little confusing. With names that were kind if similiar and the narrator's accent, as an American I admit I had to go back sometimes to be sure I knew which character was speaking.
But I'm very pleased that I stayed with the book to the end. I Really liked Kate's work and also the other characters' jobs and personalities. I felt they were realistic and I liked the descriptions of the town.
I also felt Kate's reactions to her situations was beliveable. Some great dialogue. I'd reccomend for a good holiday rom-com read. It would make a good movie.
