Saraya Thompson

Liked it but didn’t love it.

Revisado: 04-18-25

I liked the idea, a bit repetitive although I couldn’t stop listening and couldn’t predict the ending which I quite liked. I just didn’t like the main character which is why I didn’t give it 5 stars. Narrator was good though!

Laugh out loud

Revisado: 12-21-24

Laugh out loud story tackling some pretty heavy topics, like suicide. Really enjoyed everything about this book. I love the authors poignant take on human beings and all their flaws. The narrator was perfect for this book!

Just meh

Revisado: 12-13-24

Almost didn’t finish. Writing felt so brash, like using the phrase “verbal masturbation” more than once.
I agree with the reader who said this book felt like it was too much fictionalization of such horrific events, it felt wrong to focus on the main characters obsession with having sex with her husbands brother than the story of the Jewish experience.

Beautiful story in the time of COVID

Revisado: 07-10-24

A story of life in all of its messiness and wonderfulness and how we got there. And you can’t go wrong with Meryl Streep as the narrator.

Weird, yet laugh out loud funny

Revisado: 06-30-24

Complex character development and such a strange but amusing story. I loved it and came to love the characters.

Tragically, heartbreakingly, beautiful

Better than normal people, and I loved that book.
Such a beautiful story of life and love, even when it’s ugly.

Her best yet

Absolutely could not stop listening - found chores to do, took the long way home to find an excuse to listen.

Narrators crushed it.

Don’t listen to other reviews

Revisado: 10-23-22

There was hardly any politics in this book- a line or two more for context of what time period the story is taking place at the given time- important for a book that involves time travel.

This book was so so good. It was a great book that kept you on the edge of your seat the whole time. I have never stayed up late or sat in my car after I had already parked to listen to an audible before this novel.

Highly recommend and don’t listen to other views upset about politics.

Fun story, bad narrator

Revisado: 04-25-22

Fun, light hearted, at times hysterical book.
Unfortunately ruined by the narrator. The narrator ended each sentences with a drawn out, over emphasized last syllable of every word of every sentence. So annoying!

Terrible plot, worse writing.

Revisado: 04-15-22

A complete 180 from the author’s other work, it ends with us.

The story line is childish and repetitive. It’s also very predictable. A predictable story is fine if it is well written. However, the writing too was childish and repetitive.

Definitely not a story that portrays a strong female character. The author doesn’t touch on how much will power and determination this character must have for working full time and going to school in a noble profession, only that she melts over some man and thinks she can change him with her vagina or if she waits around long enough.
