Historia
When Alexis Blair, 29, is fired from her book publishing job and breaks up with her boyfriend on the same day, she wonders if life is urging her to make a fresh start. She decides it’s time to pursue her lifelong dream of opening a bookstore of her own - even if that means leaving Boston and accepting a job in a curious bookstore in a small seaside town an hour away. But the odd shop, Alexis soon learns, is from more than just a rare, occult bookstore. Something strange is going on in the shop’s secret back room, with its eccentric owner, and in the small town itself.

Narration not a good fit
Revisado: 10-18-23
I enjoyed the story fairly well. It was a bit silly in places but overall ok. But the narrator was not a good fit for this book. I think she’d be great as a children’s book narrator but she made this entire story seem so juvenile that I came back to the book details to check to see if this was YA. It was easier to listen to at 1.2x.

I think most 40 something women would enjoy this book! I definitely identified with portions of the story, and I loved the main character. I definitely recommend!

Historia
Of all the women and men Noni Blake has pleased in her life, there’s one she’s often overlooked - herself. After the end of a decade-long relationship, Noni decides it’s time for that to change. She’s finally going to prioritize her wants and desires and only do things (and people) that feel good in the moment. As she embarks on a pleasure-seeking quest that takes her halfway around the world, she discovers that maybe she can have everything, and everyone, she’s ever wanted.

I couldn’t continue listening. The book is one sexual encounter after another. Not what I thought it would be after reading the synopsis. The synopsis should be rewritten.

Excellent story, slightly challenging audio
Revisado: 10-05-22
I love the entire Cormoran Strike series and this book was just as excellent as the previous books. However I did find this story a bit challenging as an audible book. There are some long portions of the book that are group messages online and the constant listing of recipients @x and @y and @z was sometimes challenging to listen to. But even so, it’s a 5 star book.

Fun town!
Revisado: 03-07-20
The story was good overall. The town is fantastic and the multiple plot lines were fun. The pace at which the main characters fell madly in love was ridiculous - it felt very soap opera-esque. But the rest of the story was fun. I will likely read the next book in the series after a short break.

Not a fan - couldn't finish it
Revisado: 02-05-20
I think that the issues covered in this book are important issues that should be discussed. I really wanted to like it and kept forcing myself to listen, but I eventually had to give up. I hated the southern accents. And maybe the book was too close to reality for me because I work in an office in a male dominated industry.

Historia
In this moving story about losing and finding love again, a woman sets out to find the perfect matches for those closest to her. Forty-eight-year-old Nantucketer Dabney Kimball Beech has always had a gift for matchmaking. Some call her ability mystical, while others, her husband, celebrated economist John Boxmiller Beech, and her daughter, Agnes, who is clearly engaged to the wrong man, call it meddlesome. But there's no arguing with her results: With 42 happy couples to her credit and all of them still together, Dabney has never been wrong about romance.

Didn't like the characters

I disliked the main character. And the story was not great. I don't recommend. I do like some of Elin's other books - just not this one.
