Historia
Nora Stephens' life is books—she’s read them all—and she is not that type of heroine. Not the plucky one, not the laidback dream girl, and especially not the sweetheart. In fact, the only people Nora is a heroine for are her clients, for whom she lands enormous deals as a cutthroat literary agent, and her beloved little sister Libby.

Wonderful
Revisado: 02-01-25
4 stars only because of the mutual emotional (self)torture over how to manage their relationship was a bit too much .. ok to have it but really, so many loops (!?) .. I would have preferred if it ended a bit sooner.. Otherwise, lovely, warm, and witty. Loved dialogs between Charlie and Nora!

Good screenplay, bad book
Revisado: 01-18-25
While the story could have been a cute Christmass romance, it so badly written - flat and with no characters development - that I just could not give it more then this one star

Historia
Jack Diller is just one more struggling actor on the road to nowhere. He’s got an agent who barely remembers his name, his ex-girlfriend has hooked up with a Silicon Valley dude, and the milk in his fridge is so far past its sell-by date it’s historic. The only way Jack can scrape together a bare existence is by delivering food to exactly the types of successful people he wishes he could be. Then, one day, a very strange audiobook shows up on his phone.

Fun lesson on human psyche
Revisado: 04-12-23
Not my favourite genre but it is a good short story and a solid free read.
It reminded me very much of H.G.Wells “The invisible man” because it has similar atmosphere with reader following the main character’s inner thoughts and reasonings as he falls from bad to worse.
Narration is excellent.

Exactly what I hoped for
Revisado: 04-07-23
I love Beth Moran’s writing and have read all her books. This one is, as I was hoping it will be - full of warmth and kindness, but at the same time witty and fun. Perfect blend, soothing and warming my heart chapter by chapter.
The narrator did a wonderful job bringing all these different characters to life.
The only detail I would like to see improved in Beth’s next book(s) (and I cannot wait to read more of her writing!) - I would love if her heroins would not break out crying every so often.

Historia
When Jenny inherits her estranged grandmother’s cottage in Sherwood Forest, she has nothing to lose - no money, no job, no friends, no family to speak of, and zero self-respect. Things can only get better.... Her grumpy but decidedly handsome new neighbour, Mack, has a habit of bestowing unsolicited good deeds on her. And when Jenny is welcomed into a rather unusual book club, life seems to finally be getting more interesting. Instead of reading, the members pledge to complete individual challenges before Christmas.

Wonderfull, warm, funny .. all you need for Christmass! I think I might have found my new favourite writer 😃
Helen Keeley brings the mix of characters to life and brings out the fun vibe from narrations just perfectly.

Historia
After everything that the citizens of Beartown have gone through, they are struck yet another blow when they learn that their beloved local hockey team will soon be disbanded. What makes it worse is the obvious satisfaction that all the former Beartown players, who now play for a rival team in Hed, take in that fact. Amidst the mounting tension between the two rivals, a surprising newcomer is handpicked to be Beartown's new hockey coach. Soon a new team starts to take shape around Amat, the fastest player you'll ever see; Benji, the crazed lone wolf; and Vidar, a born-to-be-bad troublemaker.

Not as good as Beartown and other
Revisado: 04-02-22
Story is all I have expected from Backman - really good with brilliant insights into the human psyche, interesting insights into the works of politics/politicians, several good twists ..
This is what I enjoyed almost as much as in all his previous books.
However, this is the first book by Backman where his writing disappointed me:
There are far too many digressions into the events from Beartown and also there are very many repetitions of sentences and phrases.
It could have been a much better book if it had been written simply as book 2. in the series and not made into a standalone piece and if a bit more care (time?) was given to removing/adapting the repetitive content
Hence only 4 stars this time .. :(

Historia
Looking at real estate isn’t usually a life-or-death situation, but an apartment open house becomes just that when a failed bank robber bursts in and takes a group of strangers hostage. The captives include a recently retired couple who relentlessly hunt down fixer-uppers to avoid the painful truth that they can’t fix their own marriage. There’s a wealthy bank director who has been too busy to care about anyone else and a young couple who are about to have their first child but can’t seem to agree on anything.

Unremarkable
Revisado: 07-18-20
While it is an ok entertainment to pass time while e.g. house cleaning, it is the worst of all the Mimi Metthews books I read so far. I read all her later works and quite enjoyed them, so it seams she improved a lot since this one was published.
I would recommend to read any other of her books rather then this one.
Narration was very good!
