Entertaining

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would recommend his audio to a friend, as most of my friends read from this genre-Women's Fiction. The alternating points-of-view keep the book moving along.

I love a female lead who finally finds herself and her voice.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

"Is anything in life ever an accident.?"

Good but

This wasn’t my favorite of hers, but it was definitely a good one. It did drag a bit at times, but it was worth it. Push the slow parts, and you will be glad you did.

Not what I expected

I thought the story would have been a little more eventful when I was listening to it. I felt the story lacked excitement. The narration was well done but this particular story was not the best in my opinion.

Wished it not to end.

This book was engrossing from start to finish. Though I longed for a happy ending, I am glad that the author didn't take the easy route and wrap up the story in a pretty bow.

I found myself laughing, thinking, and exploring each character in my mind. I found myself hooked. and I listened to the entire book on 1.5 speed because I wanted to discover what lied deep within the story. The book was done in the course of a day.
