Great new novel

Revisado: 05-16-23

I heard about this book through an interview with the author on NPR. It sounded good and came right as I was looking for a new book. It was a great listen - with different voices for the characters, the words that pulled you in, the way you cared how things would turn out. I really enjoyed it and would recommend it.

You get pulled in quickly & can’t put it down

Revisado: 10-14-22

This book pulls you in from the start. I couldn’t stop listening to it. I loved the different voices for the different chapters / perspectives - the one for the grandma sounded like my grandma! I’d listen to it again and do recommend

Good cross cultural and sweet listen

Revisado: 04-19-22

As someone who has worked with international students in the 2010 decade, it was refreshing and informational to hear how a pen pal program in the 1990s developed into a fuller family, that overcame a lot of challenges with technology only being one of them.

Romcom in a book

Revisado: 01-27-22

This was what I wanted when I started it - a rom com - and had an original story. I really liked that two people read the book from different perspectives. Cheesy at a few points but you expect that.

Light and also deep listen

Revisado: 09-18-21

The audio for the book skipped a lot but i powered through it to keep listening. It was funny, thoughtful, scary, and more - it was also one I could listen to with toddlers around and not have to worry about bad words. Jeannie - may your days continue to be healthy!

It pulls you in

Revisado: 08-08-21

I’ve been on a kick recently with travel themed memoirs. This one was a great listen and I didn’t want to stop it when I needed to. Also a few swear words but not enough that I couldn’t listen to it with kids around

Good short realistic listen

Revisado: 07-04-21

As a former nicu mom, I was intrigued by the storyline. It brought back memories - but in a good perspective way. A good quick listen - does have swear words in it.

A different and better story than I thought it would be

Revisado: 06-29-21

I got this book knowing it’d be about a woman and cooking. What I didn’t know I was getting was a whole family story of travel, frayed relationships, constant unknowns, tender moments, adventure, and then a story about cooking recipes for every country of the world. So much fit into the book I thought I was listening to a different one at times - but in a good way. I already recommended this to a relative who enjoys memoirs and food books.

Great parenting book!

Revisado: 05-01-19

As an expecting parent, I enjoyed this book which made me laugh, be sad and also wonder how I would answer the hard questions from our kids. This book applies to all types of parents - no matter how your family is structured.
