For Your Mental Health

Revisado: 04-21-25

This book was very good, especially for the age it was written for (11+). It was an emotional and powerful read for me and I wish I had read it when I was a teenager. It deals with mental illness and bullying, without going too in depth. I feel it was very relateable (even though I have grandchildren older than the target audience). Although it is alluded to that the main charachter(Jr in high school) has sex, it is in no way explicit. I would definitely recommend.

Great story

Revisado: 04-02-25

I am not not a fan of a back and forth timeline but the author did an excellent job weaving in the timelines. Would definitely recommend.

Glad I saw it thru...

Revisado: 03-31-25

This romantasy took at least half the book to grab me. Not sure if it was the actual story or if it was the distractingly over dramatic narration of the female narrator. Almost dnf, but about halfway thru either the story improved or I became used to the annoying narration ... either way I am glad I finished.

A story within a story within a story

Revisado: 01-26-24

It is an awesome story within a story within a story. Yes, it's a war story, a love story, and a history of the sea (Navy). As I have no knowledge to base such things on, I will say that the depictions of naval warfare feel authentic. This is the first modern war (ISIS) story I've read. I mostly stick with WWII. Very well written. If you enjoy the sea and naval combat, you will definitely enjoy this read. If you are reading for the love story, you will probably think there isn't enough love and too much sea and war. I still recommend it.

So many feels...

Revisado: 01-19-24

i would definitely recommend (with Kleenex)! There is a crushing relatablity that sucks you in while propelling you forward.

Should be required reading ...

Revisado: 01-08-23

Lots of useful information for anyone with an online presence. Does get a little repetitive, but worth a listen.

Disappointing narration

Revisado: 01-05-23

Read with little influction, giving illusion that text was JUST words. Background noise distracting (ie, pages turning). Story was good, but wish I had bought the actual book and read it myself. I would have returned this audiobook if I hadn't wanted to know the story, so I finished with the distracting narration.

I love Sarah J. Maas!

Storyline pulls you right in. This narrator does an awesome job. I've read the book and just downloaded the audio version to review before I start book 2.

Compelling

Revisado: 09-26-22

A precise "unsexy" listen that is continually compelling you to continue. I enjoyed both performance and story.

Would recommend...

Revisado: 05-29-21

Would definitely recommend for Maugham readers, art lovers, and those not offended by racist comments.

I particularly liked the first-person narrative voice, which captured me with its ironic mix of admiration and disdain for the main character, Strickland. I've never read/listened to any Maugham before this, but I do enjoy his talent and will read more of his work
