Soon, it’s as if their friendship never ended

Story of a lifetime of love

Rita, Rita, Rita - you have to love her.
Revisado: 03-27-25
Rita has the most quirky characters. They are lovable and flawed. Real.
This was a little different. More focused on the two main characters. The townsfolk were still fun and quirky though!
And although it seems like a Hollywood book … it is more of a twist. If you are a Rita Potter fan you expect the twist.
The main characters were lovely in their own way. It also approaches some mental difficulties.
The journey is lovely. The romance is well paced.
Rita books make me happy. Even when they aren’t happy at times … there is always a quirky person or a funny moment or an unlikely pair. And she never forgets her characters are human. They are always loving and flawed.
Gaps. Time.
I can’t wait for the next Rita on audiobook. And I love that she found her narrator that she loves and feels does her books justice. Cheers to that!

Beautifully Flawed Humans
Revisado: 12-22-24
The characters are beautifully flawed. And that is reality. People are beautifully flawed and I love realism. This is a beautiful love story of love and waiting for the one you love under the most unusual circumstances.
It is unique and special and touching. What would you do for your family? What would you do for love? Why is money discrepancy in the US so polarized? Why? Why are people all not truly equal in all ways in this over privileged country with some people living in tent cities on the streets? (No - that isn’t in the book - it just should make you think.)
Rita Potter delivers another humanitarian story of love and crisis and the wealth divide. Beautifully narrated but you miss the lovely narrator because of the raw tension of the marvelous book.
Low spice. Angst medium high. No sexual abuse.
Highly recommended.
***I received a free advance audible copy for an honest review. I NEVER play games with reviews. This is 100% a sincere review.

Historia
Fran Underhill’s adoration for the entertainment industry is in flames, transformed into a loathing of celebrity culture and all those who benefit from it. When a personal assistant gig for one of Hollywood’s most popular actresses falls into her lap, Fran is determined to use the experience to her advantage with a series of tell-all articles. Just enough clickbait to get her next screenplay sold. Now if only she can ignore that ferocious and inconvenient attraction to her new employer.

Good Character Growth

Finally a non-perfect kid (and a perfect one). A cat. And two main characters growing up into their own.

Historia
Kate’s fine. Just fine. Sure, her ex-fiancé is marrying Kate’s little sister in scenic Summit Springs. Sure, her friends and family don’t think that plot twist is weird. And sure, her pink bridesmaid’s dress is a fashion crime.

Sweet
Revisado: 02-08-23
Destination Bedding is mostly lighthearted and an easy read. Beyond Kate and her love interest from the past (and maybe the future) we have the old aunt with classic spunkiness.
Kate has to be at her sister’s wedding but her family dynamics are less than ideal. Her mother is demanding. Her sister is dismissive. She slept with one of the bridesmaids (way in the past). And the worst … the groom is her old very very serious boyfriend. Upside! She had to share a room with an old aunt who was hilarious, I thought. Sweet sapphic romance.

Historia
Renée Ballard works the night shift in Hollywood, beginning many investigations but finishing none, as each morning she turns her cases over to day shift detectives. A once up-and-coming detective, she's been given this beat as punishment after filing a sexual harassment complaint against a supervisor. But one night she catches two cases she doesn't want to part with: the brutal beating of a prostitute left for dead in a parking lot and the killing of a young woman in a nightclub shooting. Ballard is determined not to give up at dawn.

But I don’t care, as long as Kate narrates the next one. Best book I have heard yet, especially the narrator!

Historia
When you listen to this audiobook, you will make many assumptions. You will assume you are listening to a story about a jealous ex-wife. You will assume she is obsessed with her replacement - a beautiful, younger woman who is about to marry the man they both love. You will assume you know the anatomy of this tangled love triangle. Assume nothing. Twisted and deliciously chilling, The Wife Between Us exposes the secret complexities of an enviable marriage - and the dangerous truths we ignore in the name of love.

Ack!
Revisado: 05-07-18
I would not recommend the book. To get through it took me rewinding constantly ... many times thinking of just deleting. It is jumbled and the narration probably made it much worse than it is. The surprise ending might be a surprise ... but not worth it. Not close.
