Sappy but good!

Worth the listen, but somewhat predictable, just in a good way. Good chacterization and story line.

A Strong Woman Book

Revisado: 04-28-23

Maybe because the women in this book were strong, or realized their strength, that I was so drawn to the story. The performance was so good, always makes a difference with me. I found myself laughing because of how the narrator changed her vouce, soooo good!!

There was a reason

Revisado: 08-29-22

why she chose an unknown author, that is how this story keeps you, I had to know why and it didn't dissapoint. Very interesting book, though I was a little disappointed in the narrator, hard sometimes to distinguish between characters particularly when Evelyn and St James had alot of dialogue. Overall it's a good listen and good story.

Just didn't quite make the A list!

Revisado: 08-24-22

I think this could have been a much better book, definitely a better audio book. Fell flat, I found myself lost in my own thoughts, normally I would rewind so I didn't miss something, but not in this book. Storyline and lead up to the point of the story was so drawn out with attemps to build characterization of young lesbian women I became bored. Being lesbian I found it hard to relate and the usage of certain vocabulary unrealistic. Was very glad I made it to the end so I could move on.

No super dramatics, just a good story

Revisado: 05-16-22

It's a good story, believable and insight into the thoughts someone might truly have when being dealt a hard hand in life. The performance was great, I could tell each character by the narrators inflections, which is a plus for me.

Predictable but entertaining

Revisado: 03-05-22

I thought the storyline was good, though for the most part predictable. You found yourself hoping Molly the maid would find the truth and get her revenge. Characterization was good. Narrator was good.

Kept me interested, frustrated and baffled

Revisado: 02-03-22

Interested because I wanted to know what April would do next, her experiences, her courage, the journey, the people she met along the way, the love she found and lost and of course Julia Whelan delivered beautifully, she is one of my favorite narrators. Frustrating because it was obvious she was beautiful, she always stood by what she knew and loved which was her music, it frustrated me because I wanted her to succeed, but she didn't see in herself that she could. Baffled because she sheltered herself in a way that not only hurt her, but those around her, I just didn't understand why. Truth is, I've never had to experience what she did, that old cliche "II don't walk in her shoes", but I know many do. I won't spoil the ending, but it did make me cry....I'll just leave it there.

Thought Provoking

Revisado: 09-01-21

The book is fictional, we, at least I don't have life altering visitations from a God of the darkness who I offer my soul to in return for something I couldn't have on my own, not in reality. But, it rings true in what we endure in every day life, what we take for granted. How would I be if I wasn't remembered one second to the next? Thought provoking book in my opinion on many levels, but I have to confess, I love the narrator Julia Wellan, my search for books she narrates was how I found this book, and she did not disappoint. Obviously this book isn't for everyone, but seems most find it quite good, I did and I highly recommend you give it a listen.

Lots of twists and a friendly story

Revisado: 03-17-21

Really impressed with the narrator's characterization skills making it easy to distinguish each person. Storyline is sweet and hopeful, I laughed outloud at times, always a good sign.
