When Allison Ellis’s husband died of an unexpected heart attack, there was no playbook for a thirty-three-year-old widow with a breastfeeding infant. In her grief, she devised a practical strategy: find a new husband within twelve months. What transpired was a year of mourning, manic dating, and breaking hearts across Seattle on a deadline mission to heal her own.

excellent storytelling, great pace
Revisado: 05-30-20
Unexpected gem of a story. Not overly sentimental, just a practical description of one young mother thrown into circumstances she didn't want and getting on with things. The author/narrator made me laugh at loud at times and always had my full attention.

Only 1 chapter worthy of purchase
Revisado: 04-18-20
Chapter 3 on audible (Chapter 1 in book) is the best chapter. The other chapters give you basic advice given many times before in other books and blogs.

Cormac Reilly is the detective assigned with the re-investigation of a seemingly accidental overdose 20 years ago - the overdose of Jack and Maude's drug-and-alcohol-addled mother. Reilly is under increasing pressure to charge Maude for murder when his colleague Danny uncovers new evidence....

Liked The Sisters better
Revisado: 11-23-19
I read this after reading McTiernan's Sisters, which is excellent, so I can't help but contrast the two.
McTiernan's main characters in this book are not as strong as the characters who are quickly killed off or hidden in the past. We don't get enough time with the truly evil or good, and we spend far too much time in the narrative characters' heads. This is why I found the ending far-fetched and unsatisfactory.
The reading is very well done and I encourage readers not to give up on this author whose work has been refined over time.

Code Name Verity is a compelling, emotionally rich story with universal themes of friendship and loyalty, heroism and bravery. Two young women from totally different backgrounds are thrown together during World War II: one a working-class girl from Manchester, the other a Scottish aristocrat, one a pilot, the other a wireless operator. Yet whenever their paths cross, they complement each other perfectly and before long become devoted friends. But then a vital mission goes wrong....

battle of suspense v. tedium
Revisado: 10-13-19
Not an action-oriented war memoir, but rather a very detailed elegy for fictitious characters. Julie's character is heroic and easy to love. Maggie's is complicated by the fact that Julie has to concoct elements of her backstory. By the time you realize what is going on in Julie's account, you also begin to wonder how much Wein is concocting (vs. actual research).
Dickensian in its labyrinthine detail and at times hard to follow, this book is worth the read. However my next war-read will be nonfiction vs another emotionally manipulating novel by Wein.

The debut psychological thriller that will forever change the way you look at other people's lives. Every day the same. Rachel takes the same commuter train every morning and night. Every day she rattles down the track, flashes past a stretch of cozy suburban homes, and stops at the signal that allows her to daily watch the same couple breakfasting on their deck. She’s even started to feel like she knows them. Jess and Jason, she calls them. Their life - as she sees it - is perfect. Not unlike the life she recently lost.

Everyone knows that regular exercise and weight training lead to physical strength. But how do we strengthen ourselves mentally for the truly tough times? And what should we do when we face these challenges? Or as psychotherapist Amy Morin asks, what should we avoid when we encounter adversity? Through her years counseling others and her own experiences navigating personal loss, Morin realized it is often the habits we cannot break that are holding us back from true success and happiness.

Excellent and encouraging content
Revisado: 03-13-16
The author hit me hard in the chapter about not wasting energy on the things you can't control.
Her inspirational stories about prominent figures who have exhibited selflessness and determination in the face of defeat truly inspired me. I highly recommend this book to others.
