Heart wrenching, heartwarming, and lovely

Revisado: 06-11-24

I really enjoyed this book. It was more emotional than her other books I’ve read/listened to, at least for me. I couldn’t stop until I knew what was going to next, and then I couldn’t stop again because more needed to be revealed! I honestly cried a bit. It’s a beautiful story.

Good-contains emotional/psychological abuse

Revisado: 02-16-24

This was a good book, although it was a bit triggering for me. A lot of gaslighting, a lot of questionable choices, and I found myself feeling ill for parts of it. I’m glad I got to the end, and Mhairi is one heck of a writer!
It is a good and relatable book, though it may be too intense for some listeners. It nearly was for me.

Real, heartbreaking, healing and lovely

Revisado: 02-13-24

I don’t know how she does it, but Mhairi is able to create intricate, real, funny, and lovable characters. Reading the synopsis, I was on the fence. So glad I jumped over and gave it a try.

Like the male narrator…

Revisado: 02-07-24

It was an ok listen, I finished it, but it never sucked me in. I didn’t particularly like the story. There were too many points of argument that could’ve been easily better argued. And the female narrator started to sound super staccato and forceful with her characters. I liked the male narrator. He was the only reason I could keep listening. I knew he’d make the characters more likeable and turn things around.

A lovely coming-into-your-own-power story

Revisado: 01-28-24

This was so good. I was a bit skeptical in the beginning, but it kept getting better and better. The love story, sure, but more the self-love and acceptance that Georgina finds in herself. I wish it wasn’t over!

This story speaks to me

Revisado: 09-14-23

I loved this book! My husband and I met when I was 18, was my first kiss, but it took us nine years to get to the place where we were finally able to admit we loved each other romantically. All of the indecision and fear took be right back.
I thought the narrator did an amazing job as well. She was personable and funny and made the story come to life. Looking forward to reading more from this author, and listening to more from this narrator.

Wanted to love, couldn’t even finish

Revisado: 07-11-23

I was so excited for this book. It sounded interesting. But the reality didn’t live up to the hype. I found the adjectives superfluous and I could tell there was going to drama over the dishonesty from the get go. This is a pet peeve of mine, and in this case more so because Jamison is clearly interested in Vivienne but potentially sabotages it with unnecessary lying. Be an adult. Own your sh*t and be proud of it. Stop complicating everything because your afraid to address difficulties head on. Aaaand I digress.
I’ve read several reviews with spoilers and I see the relevant and necessary topics enfolded into the story. I think the lying and feeling of desperation did me in so I couldn’t get into it. Bummed. But glad the author is getting props from those who can look past my peeves.

Triggering

Revisado: 06-23-23

I finished the book. It was ok. It definitely wasn’t my favorite. Some of the plot points may be triggering if you’re dealing with unresolved trauma. Infidelity, abuse, family-of-origin issues, etc. But if you enjoy a story about strong women overcoming tough situations, you might enjoy this.

Love Bones so much!

Revisado: 06-12-23

This is great, and I might even enjoy Bones’ version better than Cat’s. The only thing I wish is that Will Watt mimicked Tavia Gilbert’s voices for some of the characters. Oh. And pronounced Mencheres the same way as her. That’s nit picky though, and I still thoroughly enjoyed getting to understand Bones even better!
