Cute!

Revisado: 12-26-24

A fun little romp about trying something new and learning a few other things along the way. Loved Mae Whitman’s performance

Exactly what you’d expect

Revisado: 11-21-24

The story was exactly as described. Lots of food, sex, and murder. But the narration was a little static and felt a little dry for the content.

Absolutely wild

Revisado: 10-31-24

This story starts out as a well-meaning adventure of a super talented pianist who studies at a conservatory and then has to take care of her immigrant parents so she gets a job at a fancy wellness company that gets SUPER WEIRD. And the weird parts are CRAZY. I don’t know how to say anything else about it without spoiling it. The writing was tight, and the imagery was impeccable and vivid. I gobbled it up in one sitting. Great narration. Great story!

No one needs the baby voice

Revisado: 10-25-24

The story was a lovely family saga. The narration was otherwise a great performance but there were four daughters and two grandsons, for all of whom the narrator felt the need to speak as baby in baby voice with baby talk. Unnecessary

An impossible task

Revisado: 10-16-24

This story was so heartbreaking, but the way he shares his perspective on Molly and her role in the life they shared left me conflicted. I’d hate to hear all these things about me after I died. The first section and the last two sections were written so beautifully. Thank you for producing this Audible!

Perfection

Revisado: 09-07-24

Unlike anything I’ve ever read before. Delicate attention to every detail and interaction. Beautiful prose from the POV of a poet whose life is threatened by a failing body. Read so earnestly. I will never forget this book.

East Coast Nostalgia

Revisado: 08-30-24

I loved everything about this book. Wow. 3 Asian girls growing up in Bergen county New Jersey, then living in NYC in the late 90s. So much of that offered little treats of nostalgia for me, but this book would have been brilliant without all that. The self-discovery was primal and necessary for these characters. The final part that takes place in the future (only 15 years from now) — while it contained aspects reminiscent of 1984, the forbidden remembering that was depicted stirred up memories for me from my time making forever friends in NYC in a way I haven’t felt or couldn’t feel until now. This was a love letter to NYC and that time and I wish I could read it again for the first time.

Wrong Voice

Revisado: 08-18-24

The narrator’s voice sounded like Mary Poppins. Neither paradise nor rot. Inappropriate for visualizing a young woman exploring her sexuality.

Brilliant! Gripping

Greta gets herself into a pretty tangled web and I was on the edge of my seat the whole time waiting for it all to explode.

Could’ve been executed better all around.

Revisado: 07-19-24

Great premise. Strong start. Time travel always feels convoluted to me. Love story was weak. Narration of the different characters’ voices made it hard to picture the suggested age of the characters.
