DNF...just no from someone who enjoys author

Revisado: 08-11-24

My review may not be fair as this was a DNF for me.

I was turned off at start by the degree the main female character sexualized the male love interest at the start but kept on reading as I was a huge fan of Harms book, The Bright Side of Going Dark.

Too much sailing detail for me and embarking on trip w pretty much no experience seemed downright foolish but I kept going even though ...

Spoiler warning ...

Older woman younger man tropes are usually not for me. She is 42 and guesses her love interest is in his 30s.

BUT when I discover that love interest is a 26 yr old younger man (16 yrs younger) and is the main character's ex boyfriend of DAUGHTER!! ...

I just had to stop.

Kind of exhausting

Revisado: 07-22-22

I don't want this to be a spoiler but this got a little exhausting for me. The leads finally get their happy ending but it takes a long, long long time and all the obstacles along the way, especially in the final 1 hour or so, just did me in and turned my 4 star review into 3 stars. There was not enough satisfying couple time and way too much angst for my liking.

Lovely!

Skip the spoilers, skip the book jacket blurb and just enjoy a wonderful story. It has lots of twists and turns. I fell in love w 4 main characters. Very satisfying ending.

Loved it! Great story w some trigger warnings

Revisado: 10-27-21

I was slow to get this one started but so happy that I did as I really enjoyed. Absolutely loved the ending and how everything came together in positive way that did not feel forced. Lots of hope!!

There is a lot going on in this book ... so trigger warnings for anyone who cannot read about mental health, attempted suicide, cancer, death of pets and family members and online addiction. I fast forwarded through 1/2 of one chapter that hit too close to home for me.

But... I laughed, cried and suspended belief in a couple spots. Love that book celebrates self-care/prioritizing mental health, honesty, human relationships, family, giving everyone a little grace and the power of DOGS! 😊

DNF w 1 hr 28 min...really silly

Revisado: 08-29-21

if you can believe that a former PTO president is able to create a business plan, launch a website and print up business cards in a matter of days...AND learn to be an exotic dancer able to give lap dances and strip ... but the ONLY job the formerly prim and proper, pearl necklace Ann Taylor wearing formerly mousy and now a blonde bombshell can get is as a stripper.....then maybe this book is for you. Oh...and do so w her 13 yr old daughter cheering her on and w the help of her kindly hot strip bar owning neighbor's help.

wow...I lost way too many brain cells on this one. i just could not anymore. It might have played better as rom com movie script and quick 90 min movie than a full length book.

DNF...struggled with content

Revisado: 06-16-21

i like to read book series so started with this one. I had a very hard time with main character and found her actions problematic. Could not finish after a couple hours of listening.

DNF...absurd premise

Revisado: 05-23-21

So silly! You would think an editor would have fixed some of the huge issues with this book. Totally unbelievable for the main character to think a boyfriend she has had no contact with for 10 years would not have moved on. Also ridiculous that her best friend would not immediately set her straight about his current status or what ex beau and brother do for a living. When I return to my hometown, my bff and I spend hours gossiping and catching up.

I stopped listening after almost 2 hours. Just too many things that were impossible to believe.

Twists + unbelievable aspects changed my rating

Revisado: 05-11-21

This book has great reviews but there are some elements that many will not get past. Early on a present day love interest makes an important connection that is really hard to believe. I could get past that but just could not accept the great love of the other main chatacter's life. Just no. And then the ending twist ... huh? Is there no such thing as confidentiality?

I wish that I was in a book club so I could argue why this is really 2.5 stars at best without giving away spoilers.

If you are bothered by an author asking you to accept gigantic leaps in credibility, you will be bothered by this one.

Just can't finish last chapter

Revisado: 01-17-21

The inconsistencies in this book will make your head swirl. I got to nearly the end and was just shaking my head no. The characters just do not work for me. I did not believe one situation. This could have been a much better book...if author changed about 80% of plot.

The narrator was fine.
