Historia
After Tova Sullivan’s husband died, she began working the night shift at the Sowell Bay Aquarium, mopping floors and tidying up. Keeping busy has always helped her cope, which she’s been doing since her eighteen-year-old son, Erik, mysteriously vanished on a boat in Puget Sound over thirty years ago. Tova becomes acquainted with curmudgeonly Marcellus, a giant Pacific octopus living at the aquarium. Marcellus knows more than anyone can imagine but wouldn’t dream of lifting one of his eight arms for his human captors—until he forms a remarkable friendship with Tova.

Historia
In 1972, when workers in Pottstown, Pennsylvania, were digging the foundations for a new development, the last thing they expected to find was a skeleton at the bottom of a well. Who the skeleton was and how it got there were two of the long-held secrets kept by the residents of Chicken Hill, the dilapidated neighborhood where immigrant Jews and African Americans lived side by side and shared ambitions and sorrows. Chicken Hill was where Moshe and Chona Ludlow lived when Moshe integrated his theater and where Chona ran the Heaven & Earth Grocery Store.

What am I missing?
Revisado: 01-26-24
With the introduction of each new character, there was a minimum of an hour of their backstory. I struggled to get through this and the one thing I wanted to hear the conclusion of was in the freaking epilogue. I can not understand how this is an award winning book.

Historia
Lily hasn’t always had it easy, but that’s never stopped her from working hard for the life she wants. She’s come a long way from the small town where she grew up—she graduated from college, moved to Boston, and started her own business. And when she feels a spark with a gorgeous neurosurgeon named Ryle Kincaid, everything in Lily’s life seems too good to be true.

I am not going to give any spoilers but I will say I felt Lily's struggle from the very beginning to the very end. I will never again wonder, "why doesn't she just leave", when I hear stories of women in this situation. I have a deeper understanding of how hard a situation that is.

Historia
When sixteen-year-old Cindra Zoeller is sent to a reform camp in Montana after being involved in an armed robbery, she is thrust into a world of mountains and cowboys and prayers and miscreants and people from all walks of life like she’s never seen in suburban Massachusetts. At Camp Challenge, she becomes transfixed by Lucky, a camp employee of mysterious origin—an origin of constant speculation—and the chemistry between them is instant, and profound. The pair escape together into the wilderness to create an idyllic life far from the reach of the law.

Historia
Nina once bought into the idea that her fancy liberal arts degree would lead to a fulfilling career. When that dream crashed, she turned to stealing from rich kids in LA alongside her wily Irish boyfriend, Lachlan. Nina learned from the best: Her mother was the original con artist, hustling to give her daughter a decent childhood despite their wayward life. But when her mom gets sick, Nina puts everything on the line to help her, even if it means running her most audacious, dangerous scam yet.

great story and narration
Revisado: 03-27-22
I liked this book so much because it was unique and the narration brought it to life. I read a lot and it's hard to find a unique story that's different from anything else I've read and this one fit the bill.

Historia
It was four o'clock in the morning. A young woman pushed through the hospital doors. Staff would later say they thought the woman was a new mother, returning to her child - and in a way, she was. She walked into the nursery, where a baby girl lay sleeping. The infant didn't wake when the woman placed her gently in the shopping bag she had brought with her. There is CCTV footage of what happened next, and most Australians would have seen it, either on the internet or the news.

I loved this book
Revisado: 01-26-22
Honestly, most mysteries are easy to figure out but this one kept me guessing. The performer was excellent and I didn't even mind the parts that went to sound effects because they were few. I will say I would have preferred they kept the kissing sounds out but overall, this is the first book that has sound effects that didn't drive me up the wall. The story was well written and I enjoyed it very much.

Everything changes in a single moment for Dawn Edelstein. She’s on a plane when the flight attendant makes an announcement: Prepare for a crash landing. She braces herself as thoughts flash through her mind. The shocking thing is, the thoughts are not of her husband but of a man she last saw 15 years ago: Wyatt Armstrong. Dawn, miraculously, survives the crash, but so do all the doubts that have suddenly been raised.

Now I remember why I stopped reading Jodi Picoult
Revisado: 10-08-20
I don't even know where to start with this. The first few hours were about Egypt. interesting at first, exhausting after several hours of it. But all that history was necessary so parallels could be drawn between Egyptology and Dawn/Wyatt/Brian. I did find the death doula parts really interesting. The timeline was super confusing but I guarantee I won't listen again to figure it all out. By the end, I hated Dawn so much. What a selfish person. There's no spoiler alert needed because there is no ending. Just a typical Picoult BS end that I'm sure is under the pretense of letting the reader come to their own conclusions. Frankly, it's a cop out and a lazy way to end a book that truly needed one. I kept thinking I wonder what Dawn will do and surprise, we will. never know. I enjoyed her last book but given it actually did have an ending, I'd wager it was a ghost writer. There's no doubt here it's Picoult because she does her typical.non-ending ending. Disappointing.

Historia
Toby Fleishman thought he knew what to expect when he and his wife of almost fifteen years separated: weekends and every other holiday with the kids, some residual bitterness, the occasional moment of tension in their co-parenting negotiations. He could not have predicted that one day, in the middle of his summer of sexual emancipation, Rachel would just drop their two children off at his place and simply not return. He had been working so hard to find equilibrium in his single life. The winds of his optimism, long dormant, had finally begun to pick up. Now this.

Revisado: 02-26-20
How many times did I fast forward through parts of this....omg. Introduce a character and then spend 2 hours describing their life from birth. no thanks. So hard to get through, so repetitive...but I did only for the ending to be the worst non-ending cop out ending ever. I don't hate many books but I hated this one.
