Rooting for Kava and Ahmed

Revisado: 02-03-25

I loved the first book and also thoroughly enjoyed this one. The story is imaginative and gripping. I read that a third book is in progress now and I can’t wait! I want Kava and Ahmed to fine peace in the world.

Waste of one credit

Revisado: 03-05-24

This year, every member of our book club has to pick a book for us to read. This was our book for March. I couldn’t make it past the first chapter - it was so annoying. Gretchen went to law school, is married, and lives on the upper East Side in New York City. And she is unhappy! The book is supposed to be about how to find happiness. Instead I found her annoying and don’t think she is unhappy but just bored or spoiled. Don’t waste a credit on this book. I really don’t understand all the positive reviews. This is the first book that I didn’t finish for my book club.

Delightful to read!

Revisado: 08-30-23

Elizabeth Zott is quirky and endearing. I loved every minute of this book and found myself making excuses to find time to listen more. This was a great book with clever characters and a good story. A perfect read.

Melodramatic to say the least.

Revisado: 06-23-23

I agree with so many other reviews that this book is overrated. The performances by Meredith were so dramatic that I had a hard time listening to those chapters. The book started strong and in my opinion “jumped the shark” at the end. Didn’t see the ending coming but it was far fetched. I don’t get why so many good reviews.

Confusing and Boring

Revisado: 03-31-23

No spoilers! This book was chosen by my book club. It was confusing and unbelievable in places. I stuck with it since it was a book club pick, but it is not a book I would recommend. To explain why I think it is confusing, I would have to give you spoilers. The narration was great.

Beautiful story

Revisado: 12-02-21

This is one of those rare books that you won’t want to put down. I found myself listening at night and first thing in the morning. Sara Ackerman made me feel as if I was right there in Hawaii. Great narrator also.

A very important book - a must read!

Revisado: 09-20-21

Forget what you know about prejudice and racism in the United States and read this book. I wish that everyone would read this book and learn how both blatant and subtle racism is in our country. This book made me embarrassed to be an American. I learned about slavery in elementary school, but never really understood how long impacting and how disgusting it was. This is an excellent book.

Enjoyable book

Revisado: 06-30-21

I loved this book. I like a unique story that takes us on a journey and this book delivered that. I didn’t want this book to end - it really was a great book. Don’t pass this one by.

Disappointing once I learned JoJo Moyes is accused

Revisado: 01-27-20

of plagiarizing this book. Once I read all the articles about this book, I am not happy that I supported JoJo Moyes and bought this title. I am also disappointed that Audible and Reese would allow this to be one of Reese's monthly book. The story was great and the performance was stellar, but then to learn the negative press around this book, it just left me feeling very sad and took away some of what I liked about the book.

Does Reese still read these books?

Revisado: 01-27-20

I agree 100% with the reviewer who called this book "a hot mess". This book was all over the place and I really found the main plot to be stretched to the point of unbelievable. I'm beginning to wonder if Reese herself isn't stretched thin these days with her TV projects and doesn't actually read the books, but just has a team picking them for her. This book was not that good.
