Therapists are people too

Revisado: 09-07-19

Im a psychologist in private practice. I often find it difficult to explain to people what it is like to do my job every day. The author does a masterful job of blending the personal and professional and the dilemma of when the two might conflate or be at odds. I hope this provides insight to people who might be afraid to go to therapy or talk to someone who is a therapist in their social lives. It’s also a great read for therapists. I found myself more energized to go into the office, with a renewed sense of why I do this work.

The first half is great

Revisado: 06-25-19

The second half had a completely different tone than the first. And the pacing was odd. We spend the first half hearing every rich detail of one year of her life, in the second, we hear about the rest. It looses its charm and feels rushed. Too bad. I loved the first part.

There’s nothing wrong with it

Revisado: 03-22-18

I love Molly Harper! And One Last Thing is one of my all time favorites. This book is... fine... it just wasn’t my favorite of hers. I missed the tension and snark that her characters usually have.

Spoiler alert

Revisado: 12-20-17

The conflict resolves too easily. It’s hard to believe that everything works out so perfectly without much struggle... not very realistic

Cute story

Revisado: 12-12-17

Fun and light listen. The narrators’s accent is distracting. Only one of the characters is Irish but all are read with a slight irish accent. Made it hard to tell who was speaking sometimes.

Meh

Revisado: 11-06-17

It was a little saccharine. I feel like the author missed the mark in creating good conflict in a premise that should have been chock full of it. I was hoping for way more of... well anything other than a nice story about women who get back on their feet with relative ease.

Too long

Revisado: 09-24-17

This was a sweet book and definitely a slow burn. Honestly, it could have been 6 hours and we would have gotten the point. Way too much inner monologue, not nearly enough substance.

What a great surprise!

Revisado: 08-14-13

I listen to a lot of books on tape. I chose this book because I love Susan Bennet as a narrator and I though the story looked interesting. I have to say I enjoyed this book in a way I haven't enjoyed one in a long time. It was funny, sexy, exciting and frankly a lot of fun. I hope the sequel comes to audible sometime soon!

So incredibly boring

Revisado: 03-14-13

I was unaware that this was a Christian book. Even so, are people of faith really that vanilla and boring? You really want me to believe that a Chicago homicide cop doesn't swear and is so wholesome that he could give Ward Cleaver a run for his money? Not to mention that the heroine, who is apparently a master at a million activities that are in no way related is a 40 year old virgin ?!? I know this is fiction, but the reason I like fiction is it is more exciting than real life. In this book, there is no chemistry, little action, and creepy "dates" where they watch each other do nothing via webcam. Also, the narrator has no ability to do a female voice.

Great idea, poorly written and formulaic

Revisado: 02-13-13

It was such a fun premise, that I decided to pick it up and give it a try. Now I know romance novels are not known for their creativity, but the writer lost me at every turn. It was as though she was trying to be funny instead of actually being funny. People don't really think like that, these characters (who are supposed to be doctors!!) think and act like people who cannot tie their shoes. It could have been clever and fun, two really smart people trying to outwit each other. The only problem is, neither of them were written as though they had any brains at all. It was really disappointing.
