Amazing story of amazing women

Revisado: 12-18-19

I didn’t know those facts about the lives of these pioneering women, I regret to say. Thank you, Audible, for re-introducing these women in such a relatable light. We need more of this!

True Cheryl fan

Revisado: 12-18-19

I, too, have struggled with heroine addiction and fancy myself an unpublished writer, even though I get paid to do accounting...I know I have a book in me, and ever time I listen to Cheryl’s work, I feel that much closer to cranking it out. Thanks Cheryl...please keep cranking them out...

Not Her Best

Revisado: 10-06-19

I’m a Patricia Cornwell fan from way back...think Kay Scarpetta. In spite of my initial impression, this work did not see the birth of a new Scarpetta; Although, that is, apparently, what she likely had intended. At any rate, I won’t be following this series if that’s what this was...there were definitely parallels that left the reader wishing this was just that...another Scarpetta novel. But, hey...a writer’s gotta write...I just won’t be jumping on this bandwagon. The ending was confusing and somewhat disappointing. She could’ve done more in that respect. Just, nah...

A little clarity, a lot of confusion

Revisado: 09-26-19

My first thought was that I hated it...nothing about it reminded me of the Elizabeth Gilbert I laid on the bathroom floor to console and fell in love...However, this story resonates. It is EG’s contribution to taking the female sexuality double standard by the horns and kicking it in the balls. I decided books like this, uncensored in all its vulgar glory, by women respected by the masses is one of the most effective ways to address the way people generally view women with a sex life or even just a sordid past. The narrative also held a mirror up and allowed me to realize that the disappointment and disgust was thanks to what I saw in myself that V represented. While her character’s belt notch numbers dwarf mine (which I think is also strategic...’hell, at least I wasn’t THAT bad’...it’s for those of us who got a bit carried away at the introduction of sex into our clueless live but were handed our perfunctory scarlet letter...never able to fully recover our reputation but didn’t even compare to the V’s sheer numbers in our real pasts; even still, we often don’t want to be reminded of the subsequent shame that we merely covered up by trying to our best adulting to try and make up for having had sex lives. I could not, however, relate to the comfort V was in relation to her body and sexuality, from even her 1st encounter. We proper Southern women were trained to feel shame always and to the end of time.

And, at least she is writing a book. While I all-in-all regret the whole experience, her talent at writing narrative spilled over into my writing, which is still becoming.

Not your average mystery

Revisado: 01-01-19

This book is extremely well-written. The characters are believable and relatable. The plot solid and unpredictable but remains plausible. I really enjoyed this ‘read’. Would definitely recommend...there is something for everyone.

Wow...just wow

Revisado: 12-27-18

A fascinating, fully engaging, smart, insightful, breath-taking look into the life of a protagonist that interacts with her world in such a way as to invite outsiders to see Muslim people not living in countries where Islam is fully celebrated as a way of life. So very humanizing, captivating, and so unexpectedly perfect...

Same Old, Same Old

Revisado: 10-28-18

I do not think that there was a single original idea in this book. It’s content consists of ideas from all mainstream self-help books in a slightly different order.

Same but different

Revisado: 10-13-18

I am going through an unwanted divorce. I literally didn’t have a clue how I was going to make it through this. I was in denial up until I was actually on the way to the first proceeding. That’s when I found this book...that’s when I began to heal. She takes you through to the other side and gently delivers you to the place of healing.

Great Message - Difficult to Listen To

Revisado: 09-28-18

I enjoyed the content of the book; However, he reads one. Word. At. A. Time. It. Is. Very. Difficult. To. Listen. To.

I Liked His Earlier Works Better

Revisado: 02-03-18

I enjoyed his story telling and admire what he gets to do for his job. He is a great writer. I just thought he kind of played out the “others” concept to the point of nausea on this one. I get it, but it got a bit cumbersome to make it to the end.
