After Lucy is found wandering the streets, covered in her best friend Savvy’s blood, everyone thinks she is a murderer. Lucy and Savvy were the golden girls of their small Texas town: pretty, smart, and enviable. Lucy married a dream guy with a big ring and an even bigger new home. Savvy was the social butterfly loved by all, and if you believe the rumors, especially popular with the men in town. It’s been years since that horrible night, a night Lucy can’t remember anything about, and she has since moved to LA and started a new life.

When Jeanie’s aunt gifts her the beloved Pumpkin Spice Café in the small town of Dream Harbor, Jeanie jumps at the chance for a fresh start away from her very dull desk job. Logan is a local farmer who avoids Dream Harbor’s gossip at all costs. But Jeanie’s arrival disrupts Logan’s routine and he wants nothing to do with the irritatingly upbeat new girl, except that he finds himself inexplicably drawn to her. Will Jeanie’s happy-go-lucky attitude win over the grumpy-but-gorgeous Logan, or has this city girl found the one person in town who won’t fall for her charm, or her pumpkin spice lattes.

I did not care for the narrator and the plot did not hold my attention.

Not as great as I expected
Revisado: 07-27-23
I think if I'd read this book, rather than listened to it, I would have enjoyed it more. I didn't care for the narrator. I felt she emphasized passages in all the wrong places and sounded stern at times when she shouldn't have. It almost seemed as if the recording was the first time she'd read it. It was a decent, distracting summer story, but not my favorite.

The Goldfinch is a haunted odyssey through present-day America and a drama of enthralling force and acuity. It begins with a boy. Theo Decker, a 13-year-old New Yorker, miraculously survives an accident that kills his mother. Abandoned by his father, Theo is taken in by the family of a wealthy friend. Bewildered by his strange new home on Park Avenue, disturbed by schoolmates who don't know how to talk to him, and tormented above all by his unbearable longing for his mother, he clings to one thing that reminds him of her: a small, mysteriously captivating painting that ultimately draws Theo into the underworld of art.

Not as Golden as I'd Hoped
Revisado: 12-26-13
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
This audio book helped me pass the time during four very long road trips. I am grateful to have had the distraction of the story during those drives, but I often found myself talking back to the narrator saying things like, " ok, ok, I get it. Move on already". Obviously, I felt some of the passages we're tedious and long winded. The sheer length of the book could tell you this, but the author could have made her point in three sentences, instead on three paragraphs, many times in the story. Sadly, I felt the main character's best friend, Boris, over-shadowed Theo many times in the book, and their story lines felt oddly competitive and redundant at the same time. The ending was a bit too tidy, and frankly, a bit "preachy" for lack of a better word. I simply can't wrap my head around why the author would lead me to believe that bad guys would suddenly do good things and all would be forgiven. While the intent was clearly to leave the listener/reader with a feel-good ending, this was not a feel good book overall.
What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?
The most interesting parts of this book were the sections describing antiques and artwork. Hobie was the best and most intriguing of all the characters, in my opinion. The least interesting part of this book was the entire section in Vegas. It felt forced, redundant, and boring. Boris' storyline started to overshadow Theo and it frustrated me.
What does David Pittu bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
I enjoyed Mr Pittu's ability to change character voices. But somehow I felt he too thought Boris was becoming the center of the story.
Do you think The Goldfinch needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
No! There couldn't possibly be anything more to say.
