Absolutely amazing

Revisado: 09-25-23

Stick with it through the beginning then check out the David Copperfield parallels. Kingsolver knows how to weave a tale and shine a light on the national crisis of opioid addiction. Worth ever credit and every minute invested in listening.

Wow! Lawson did it again!

Revisado: 05-06-23

I thoroughly enjoyed this DeMarco book. All the favorite characters are back and the plot was interesting. This was a light read, to be enjoyed while having a beer and watching the sunset.

Enjoyed it but not Harper’s best

Revisado: 07-19-22

This was a decent story but not as clever as some of her other Half Moon Hollow books. I agree that the narrator was a bit tricky to listen to in the beginning, but once the main character’s back story was revealed, it made sense.

Simply awful

Revisado: 06-30-22

I couldn’t wait for it to end. I kept hoping SOMETHING would happen. It didn’t. I love Carolyn Brown stories. They are usually sweet, with likable characters. The characters in this book are one dimensional and too good to be true.
The narrator was ok with female voices but the male characters were difficult to listen to.
Skip this one and try another Carolyn Brown book.

So many characters, so many mundane details

Revisado: 01-15-22

I loved the previous books and I was even content to slog through all the boring parts because it felt like the story was going somewhere. With this one, however, the story went in too many directions to actually feel like there was a coherent plot line. Towards the end, the story picked up, but there was a lot of pummeling of willow bark and spilled brandy in between.

Simply beautiful

Revisado: 08-05-21

Although I understand the reviews that said the book is depressing and repetitive, I feel the need to encourage readers to stick with it and let it simmer like a tasty stew. I thought about abandoning the story a few times in the beginning of the book, but I’m so happy I stuck with it.
This is an uplifting, delightful, and at times, laugh out loud funny story of the human experience. Highly recommend.

Fun Summer Read

Revisado: 08-02-20

This is my third Mary Kay Andrews book and I think it’s my favorite so far. The characters are likable, the story is well paced and the narrator was on point.

Awesome!

Revisado: 05-19-20

Story, narration and pacing was just perfect. I wasn’t ready to listen to this one for a while, so it sat in my library for a few years. In these days of uncertainty, it brought me back to what really matters— love and family. Well worth a listen.

Lawson delivers on this one

Revisado: 03-11-20

I’ve always loved the DeMarco series but I was not impressed with the past two stories. This one was a fun listen. It had action, humor, and best of all, Emma. You don’t have to read the previous books to enjoy this one so give it a shot. You won’t regret it.

Ridiculous ending

Revisado: 07-05-19

I thoroughly enjoyed the book with the exception of the last hour. The story was engaging but the last chapter was probably one of the most boring chapters I have ever heard. I’m sure some would disagree, those that enjoy British legal dramas perhaps. But ugh, it was soooo long and did not resolve the story. I would have rated this 5 stars but I feel cheated by the ending.
Performances were very good, but I found Fox’s attempts at an American accent were painful.
