Historia
Helen Zhang hasn’t seen Grant Shepard once in the thirteen years since the tragic accident that bound their lives together forever. Now a bestselling author, Helen pours everything into her career. She’s even scored a coveted spot in the writers’ room of the TV adaptation of her popular young adult novels, and if she can hide her imposter syndrome and overcome her writer’s block, surely the rest of her life will fall into place too. LA is the fresh start she needs. After all, no one knows her there. Except…

Good book but annoying male narrator
Revisado: 02-20-25
The voice of the female lead is strong and really emotionally deep, especially around the complexities of being the child of Chinese immigrants and surfing the divide of a sibling. The prose is beautiful, although there were a few storytelling gimmicks I could have done without. The male lead is also compelling, but his character is less believable, consistent, and realistic (more like the vague perfect guy women want than an actual flesh and blood specific guy). The female narrator does a beautiful job and has a simple, pure narrating style.
The biggest flaw is the male narrator who I just can’t stand. I’ve heard him in other audio books, and he has this overly affective delivery that makes the male lead sound like a surfer bro, or a cheesy porn star, and the female lines sound really winey. He sounds like he’s trying too hard to use a voice he thinks women will find sexy (I don’t!!) rather than a true, honest delivery. I’ve never liked his performances, but in this book it was especially distracting and dissident because of the tone and emotional content of the story and the likable, intelligent, vulnerable qualities of the character he’s portraying (I.e. the opposite of a surfer bro). I really wish Audible would stop using this narrator, or that he would work on using a more natural voice and delivery.

Historia
When mystery author D. B. Ziegler is late delivering her book, Abi Schore steps in to help. Surely she can give her favorite author moral support over the holiday break and get the manuscript to her boss at Tea & Sympathy Publishing in time for the new year. When Abi shows up on Ms. Ziegler’s doorstep bearing holiday treats, she’s met by the author’s handsome grandson Dov, who reveals a startling plot twist. His grandmother isn’t able to finish the book and Dov promised he’d complete it so fans won’t be disappointed—a task that’s harder than he ever imagined.

This book was cliché and not well developed. Not worth the time listening to it.

Captivating
Revisado: 05-21-24
Loved it start to finish. Great dialog and characters, great plot, set in interesting places and giving a glimpse into a world I didn't know much about (audio book narration). All that made it a captivating and entertaining read, but what was truly remarkable is how it managed to explore universal psychological themes in an emotionally wrenching and unique way, and also how it managed to make tropes and clichés really fun and wink, wink in an non-cheesy way. That's where the author being the performer, and such a gifted one, really sold the story.

Historia
Hollywood screenwriter Sawyer Walsh knows a good love story when he sees it. But when it comes to real life romance, he’s a mess. That’s how he finds himself standing at the altar…as his ex-girlfriend ties the knot with his very famous best friend. The pressure, the resentment, the media coverage—it’s all too much—and before he knows exactly what he’s doing, he’s making a run for it, leaving a shocked congregation and flashing cameras in his wake.

Boring and cliche
Revisado: 05-19-24
It was a cute concept but poorly written. At one point the writing was so mundane, it described the character going to the bathroom, doing his business, brushing his teeth, putting his deodorant on, and plugging in his cell phone. That's how boring and pointless most of the plot was. Other parts were cheesie and cringey. I love a light-hearted romantic comedy, so wanted to like this story, but unfortunately this was just a silly snooze fest.

Fun read and immersive cultural experience
Revisado: 03-03-24
I really enjoyed listening to all 3 of Lily Chu's audio books. This one is my favorite. Ms. Chu has such a cool and unique cultural perspective, moving between Canada and Korean in this book, as well as Chinese-Candian perspectives in all 3. I love the details about fun snacks and drinks, clothes and beauty products, and locations. I also love the strong female relationships between friends, sisters, mothers/daughters and the hilarious banter it often brings. Phillipa Soo delivers those humorous moments perfectly and really makes them sing. I love Chu's characters' vulnerability and the message of living authentically and following your passion which is in all 3 of her works. Great work, and I hope Lily Chu and Phillipa Soo will keep up their fabulous duo to produce more works soon!

pretty good
Revisado: 07-20-23
The Evelyn Hugo character was interesting and well-developed, but the main protagonist was dull and underdeveloped. The plot started strong but got too repetitive after a while, like the author ran out of steam halfway through. Too much exposition made it drag out. The author could have used the creative writing 101 advice to, "show, don't tell." Overall, pretty good but not great.

Historia
Now Say This guides parents through a highly practical three-step approach to effectively communicating with children called ALP. It also discusses the power of words in all of our daily conversations. Each chapter addresses a different aspect of parenting and includes actual scripts and precise language for parents to use to set limits with empathy and to use conversations as opportunities for learning. Language is powerful, and the exact words, tone, and nonverbal communication parents use when trying to move through a sticky moment with their child means everything.

Really helpful
Revisado: 05-31-23
This book is really helpful! Many of the parenting and child development books I've read have good material but are difficult to actually translate into change and action. This book is laid out so clearly with such simple, practical, and effective advice, that I've been able to apply it as I've read. By the time I finished, I felt like I'd already really transformed my parenting methods for the better. I even had my kids (Ages 5 and 7) listen along one day, and they immediately picked up ideas and tips for better family cooperation and communication (it was pretty cute when they started reminding my husband and I of some of the advice during our next family meeting!) The book seems more geared to parents of babies and toddlers because of the examples, but the techniques are effective for preschool and school-aged kids as well (not sure about teens).

Harriet and Wyn have been the perfect couple since they met in college—they go together like salt and pepper, honey and tea, lobster and rolls. Except, now—for reasons they’re still not discussing—they don’t. They broke up five months ago. And still haven’t told their best friends.

Historia
Dr. Briana Ortiz’s life is seriously flatlining. Her divorce is just about finalized, her brother’s running out of time to find a kidney donor, and that promotion she wants? Oh, that’s probably going to the new man-doctor who’s already registering eighty-friggin’-seven on Briana’s “pain in my ass” scale. But just when all systems are set to hate, Dr. Jacob Maddox completely flips the game . . . by sending Briana a letter. And it’s a really good letter. Like the kind that proves that Jacob isn’t actually Satan.

Historia
Kristen Petersen doesn't do drama, will fight to the death for her friends, and has no room in her life for guys who just don't get her. She's also keeping a big secret: facing a medically necessary procedure that will make it impossible for her to have children. Planning her best friend's wedding is bittersweet for Kristen - especially when she meets the best man, Josh Copeland. He's funny, sexy, never offended by her mile-wide streak of sarcasm, and always one chicken enchilada ahead of her hangry. Even her dog, Stuntman Mike, adores him. The only catch: Josh wants a big family.

I've liked other books by this author but didn't really enjoy this one. Didn't like the plot or pacing. Narrators were both terrible.
