Loved it!

I don't often write reviews, but I always read them. I guess I didn't before I bought this, and I'm glad I didn't because I loved it! It took a few minutes to get into it, but once I did I was engrossed. I found the characters to feel real, and I was able to relate to them. This was my first experience with a book by Sarah Morgan, but I'll be looking for more. For me, one sign of a good book is not wanting it to end, and I wasn't ready for this one to be over.

Endless internal pontification

I started to return this book numerous times. The first 5 hours were torturous to listen to with continual attempts to try to set the stage of misery that everyone was engulfed in. The writing was basic and almost seemed to be explanatory to appeal to a very young person. I was going to return it numerous times but kept waiting for a wonderful pay-off which I would say if condensed, might have encompassed about 45 min in total of the audiobook. I enjoyed One More For Christmas and wish I had stopped there.
