When Imogen returns to work at Glossy after six months away, she can barely recognize her own magazine. Eve, fresh out of Harvard Business School, has fired "the gray hairs", put the managing editor in a supply closet, stopped using the landlines, and hired a bevy of manicured and questionably attired underlings who text and tweet their way through meetings.

Great book! Real life situations & funny too!
Revisado: 04-28-18
What did you love best about The Knockoff?
It was a fast moving, funny book that is totally relatable. The authors did a great job. I also really liked Fitness Junkie and I didn't know if I would like this book as much and it was just as amazing!!
Who was your favorite character and why?
Imogene - she had so much grace, composure and professionalism when dealing with Eve. I actually learned a few things about dealing with difficult people from her character. She is a great role model.
Which scene was your favorite?
The ending when I thought Eve would be fired effective immediately, but Erin Chang lets Imogene do it her way!
If you could rename The Knockoff, what would you call it?
The Girl We Disliked in High School!!!

I liked this book because the characters were real and likable. The story was relatable in a lot of ways, particularly Raymond's family and Sam's family. And Elinor really grew on me!!

In 1962 a pregnant girl staggers into a health clinic, gives birth, and flees. A foster family takes the baby in, and an unlikely couple, their lives unspooling from the recent death of their infant, adopts her. Forty years and many secrets and lies later, Cheri Matzner is all grown up and falling apart. Ironic and fierce, she's a former cop turned disgruntled academic, a frustrated wife trying to get pregnant, an iconoclastic daughter bearing war wounds from her dysfunctional family.

Brooklyn, 1947: In the midst of a blizzard, in a two-family brownstone, two babies are born minutes apart to two women. They are sisters by marriage, with an impenetrable bond forged before and during that dramatic night; but as the years progress, small cracks start to appear, and their once deep friendship begins to unravel. No one knows why, and no one can stop it. One misguided choice; one moment of tragedy. Heartbreak wars with happiness and almost but not quite wins.

For the Posts, a two-week trip to the Balearic island of Mallorca with their extended family and friends is a celebration: Franny and Jim are observing their thirty-fifth wedding anniversary, and their daughter, Sylvia, has graduated from high school. The sunlit island, its mountains and beaches, its tapas and tennis courts, also promise an escape from the tensions simmering at home in Manhattan. But all does not go according to plan.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes, it was a really good read, all the characters were believable.
What does Kristen Sieh bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
She does ALL the voices so well!! It is hard to do a man's voice and Kristen did a great job! I will be looking for her narration from now on.
If you could take any character from The Vacationers out to dinner, who would it be and why?
Probably, Franny because she was vibrant and I could appreciate all her feelings.

The story begins in 1962. On a rocky patch of the sun-drenched Italian coastline, a young innkeeper, chest-deep in daydreams, looks out over the incandescent waters of the Ligurian Sea and spies an apparition: a tall, thin woman, a vision in white, approaching him on a boat. She is an actress, he soon learns, an American starlet, and she is dying. And the story begins again today, half a world away, when an elderly Italian man shows up on a movie studio's back lot - searching for the mysterious woman he last saw at his hotel decades earlier.

Alice Pearse is a mostly happily married mother of three, an attentive daughter, an ambivalent dog owner, a part-time editor, a loyal neighbor, and a Zen commuter. She is not: a cook, a craftswoman, a decorator, an active PTA member, a natural caretaker, or the breadwinner. But when her husband makes a radical career change, Alice is ready to lean in - and she knows exactly how lucky she is to land a job at Scroll, a hip, young startup that promises to be the future of reading.
