This book was short and sweet and right to the point!! Its really simplistic, therefore it really motivates me to get all my things in order.so no confusion as to where to even begin... Which is what hangs most of us up anyways, right!!??! I KNOW this is all I need to finally breathe in my life!!! You won't be disappointed! 👌🏽🤗 I actually cannot wait to get started on my home/ tidy makeover!!!

What if..only the good cld float to the surface...

Revisado: 11-11-15

This book reminds me of people who have been married for many years, and the "spark" has gone out. When you've forgotten why you fell in love , why you decided "for better or for worse, and really meant it"...A lot of people are in that exact predicament, and it can be heartbreaking even after many years, people just become bitter and calloused after time, children, bills ,stress...ext,ext....

This story is about 'what if'.... what if you forgot all the reasons you've become bitter, angry, and resentful with your spouse? What happens when you only remember the love you once had. you only remember the dreams you shared with that person?

This book, I'm my opinion is very deep, and I will definitely listen again. I've also asked my husband of 19 years to listen to it- that's how much this book touched me...

Even if you are not in that situation, it is still a wonderful book. Narration was good, and if your like me, and like the book to move right along, it does...

Also, its not just 1 story line. There are a couple other peoples stories in there too that are definitely relevant. The story is intricately woven...1st you see 1 side with all its emotions, then you see the other side-with all different emotions...then you see ALL sides, and your mind changes yet AGAIN, but it all comes together and is right. quite the emotional rollercoaster ride (which we resist, but LOVE in the end LOL)

I really enjoyed this book, and it wasn't something I would normally pick out. If you give it a go, you wont be disappointed :0)

Very Engaging

Revisado: 11-11-15

This story was very engaging the entire time. The author didn't lag to get to the point and story line. There was not a single dull moment at all. It made me want to "read"/listen to it all in one day. I still finished it in two days. I mean, I know its a good book when I listen at work, in the car, doing housework....sooo yeah, you could say I was a bit engaged LOL

There are parts that can be difficult to listen to, especially if you have endured and been through abuse of some kind- but the author described the "trauma" scenes in a very tasteful way- not too many details. I mean, because we can get the point without having to "feel" the pain ourselves right?

Also, the narration was great in my opinion... really great. I would actually look for more books narrated by Rachel Atkins.

Anyways, I would recommend this book for sure... Thanks for stopping by and reading my review :0)

Difficult read

Revisado: 06-04-15

This was a very difficult book to continue reading. I really wanted to like it, as I loved her book "Marianna". But I just didn't like it at all actually.

Hauntingly romantic

Revisado: 04-23-15

Would you listen to Mariana again? Why?

I have listened to this book twice in a 2 week period. It was SO good and I didnot want it to end. This is definately a book you will need to pay close attention to or you will miss something. The 1st time I read it, I was on vacation, so my mind was not fully invested in the details of the story as I was distracted. But the ending had me whirling, So I went back and listened attempting to gather all of the smaller details that I had missed.

What did you like best about this story?

All of it! It was beautifully written.

Have you listened to any of Carolyn Bonnyman’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No, this is my 1st. She did a wonderful job. Her voice is very nice to listen to. I am used to listening to Davina Porter from the Outlander series, and she is wonderful. Carolyn Bonnyman has a very delicate voice and did the female character voices very nice. The mens voices however,wern't as good simply because her voice is very feminine. She still did a good job though.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Yes, but if I write about it, this review will become a spoiler, and this is a book that needs the element of surprise. What's the fun in a mystery if the surprise is gone? :)

Any additional comments?

If you listen to this book, you wont be disappointed. Also,This is the 1st book review that I have written, so that alone tells you that I thoughouly enjoyed it!
