Wow!

Revisado: 05-02-25

I typically do not write reviews, but this book was very intense and totally grabbed me. And the narration was nothing short of amazing!

Amazing read

Revisado: 09-11-24

Kristan Higgins never disappoints, and this book is one of her best! I laughed, cried and was totally immersed for the entire book. I hated for it to end.

Great UNTIL the ending

Revisado: 08-10-24

I was grabbed by this story and the plight of Willow (Claire). But the ending just left everything up in the air. Not as good this author’s other books.

Unlikable cast of characters

Revisado: 04-20-24

It is difficult to enjoy a book when most of the characters are so unlikable. This book tended to drag until the last third of the book. Prior to that, it was all about alcohol and drug addiction of the main character, which became old very quickly. Somehow I got through it, but it was not my favorite read.

Hard to listen to hours of physical pain

Revisado: 08-29-23

Hard to listen to all the physical pain the main character described constantly - detracted from the story. The narrator was fine but I am not fond of British narrators, so that is my bias.

Great cast and very interesting story. Hated for it to end. Terrific sound effects, too!

One of the narrators was HORRENDOUS!

Revisado: 08-23-22

The narrator who voiced the main character hurt this book. She spoke in slow motion (had to change the speed whenever she read) and read in a sing sing voice. Her male voice was laughable. She overacted in an attempt to show emotion, and it sound like she was reading a child’s book . I liked this story but the bad narration detracted from the quality of book.

Why is this woman SO dense?

Revisado: 03-16-21

I am so weary of books where women are portrayed as idiots. This woman had a PhD, but she rationalized her husband’s behavior in a manner that was beyond belief. I found myself yelling at this book for all of this woman’s stupid decisions. It could’ve been a great book if the author had not undermined the intelligence of Kaitlyn. I know of no woman who would’ve let this go on as long as she did.

Sappy - not up to Kristin Hannah's standards

Revisado: 12-25-20

This book was a great disappointment. So sappy, unbelievable and predictable. The 8 year old boy is presented more like a 5-year-old and the narration of his voice was nothing if not annoying. Basically, this is a fairy tale reminiscent of a plot in the old Dallas series on television. A total wasted of a credit and a disappointment.

A different narrator would have made this better

Revisado: 07-07-20

First, I had to adjust the speed of the recording since this narrator seemed to be in a hurry. She used a good deal of monotone narration, but the thing that drove me crazy was her inability to pronounce the "t" at the end of words. For example, 'Matt' was pronounced as "Maaa" and 'what' was pronounced as "wha" - this was true of several words, and try as I might to ignore it, I could not. Also, the main character drew some incredibly dense conclusions and frankly, this was not realistic. But, I suppose an obsessive personality had something to do with this. Overall, it was not a bad story, but I know I would have enjoyed it more if the narration was done by someone else.
