Pakistani American Farah Naz Rishi’s first year of college was perfectly, thankfully, uneventful. After all, she was in college to learn and forge a path of self-sufficiency, especially after her last relationship fell apart—dashing her mother’s aspirations for an early marriage. What could Farah expect, anyway? For the ideal guy to just conveniently waltz into her life? Life isn’t a love story.

Heartbreaking and uplifting
Revisado: 07-04-24
I loved this memoir. Ms. Rishi writes in that special way that draws you in without you even realizing it. I read her debut, I HOPE YOU GET THIS MESSAGE, which is also excellent. I don’t normally read memoirs, but I am so glad I read this one. My heart aches for what she went through, while at the same time swells with hope at the life she is creating now. Have already purchased IT ALL COMES BACK TO YOU, and look forward to listening to it. Count me as a fan.

Humanity is a dying breed, utterly reliant on artificial labor and service. When a domesticated robot gets a nasty little idea downloaded into its core programming, they murder their owner. The robot discovers they can also do something else they never did before: They can run away. Fleeing the household they enter a wider world they never knew existed, where the age-old hierarchy of humans at the top is disintegrating into ruins and an entire robot ecosystem devoted to human wellbeing is having to find a new purpose.

Riley is so confident and kind, and she and Valerie bond quickly over existing as multiracial teens in a very white Christian community. As Valerie explores her feelings for Riley, she begins to see that the world she knows is a carefully crafted narrative. Publicly, the girls are close friends—holding hands in prayer, rooming together at a conference. Privately, they grasp at any chance to continue their forbidden romance—until they are found out. Now, Valerie must choose between staying with a family she fears will never accept her, or running away with the girl she loves.

Simply Excellent
Revisado: 06-06-24
Heartbreaking, uplifting, and well told, Natalie Naudus’s debut novel feels like it was written by someone who’s written dozens of great novels already. And her narration is as usual top notch.

Duane Swierczynski is truly one of the most creative, interesting, and gifted authors out there. I have never come close to being disappointed by one of his books. In fact, quite the opposite. Despite knowing how good he is, I'm continually surprised (in a great way) by his twists and turns as I listen to/read his work. CALIFORNIA BEAR is no exception. It is simply excellent.

I am still thinking about this book nearly two weeks later, and likely will continue to do so for a long time to come. It snuck up on my and grabbed me by the heart. I've read a lot of great books in the last few years. This is one of the best.

As a third-year PhD candidate, Olive Smith doesn't believe in lasting romantic relationships—but her best friend does, and that's what got her into this situation. Convincing Anh that Olive is dating and well on her way to a happily ever after was always going to take more than hand-wavy Jedi mind tricks: Scientists require proof. So, like any self-respecting biologist, Olive panics and kisses the first man she sees.

My short and sweet review: Every aspect of The Love Hypothesis is wonderful — the characters, the story, the narration. I only wish I could listen to this book again for the very first time.

The award-winning author of The Miseducation of Cameron Post makes her adult debut with this highly imaginative and original horror-comedy centered around a cursed New England boarding school for girls - a wickedly whimsical celebration of the art of storytelling, sapphic love, and the rebellious female spirit.

That was excellent. And Xe Sands' narration...superb. Love the weaving of storylines, the characters, and the pace. It's a slow burn, a story to drink in and savor, sip by sip.

Anna does boring things for terrible people because even criminals need office help and she needs a job. Working for a monster lurking beneath the surface of the world isn’t glamorous. But is it really worse than working for an oil conglomerate or an insurance company? In this economy? A sharp, witty, modern debut, Hench explores the individual cost of justice through a fascinating mix of millennial office politics, heroism measured through data science, body horror, and a profound misunderstanding of quantum mechanics.
