Great story!

I do love a quick story, but I found myself wanting there to be more!! The narrator does a great job switching between voices and her voice is perfect for this book. This book drew me in immediately. The author did a great job describing the scenery throughout, the characters and the feelings the characters were going thru. I wish it was longer, I thoroughly enjoyed this one, I would highly recommend this book!

Soft Story with Real Emotion

I listened to this on a quiet afternoon while sipping tea and it really pulled me in. The story felt gentle but meaningful with moments that made me think about people I’ve lost touch with. The narrator had a warm and soft voice that fit the tone so well it felt like she was sharing something personal. Even though it was short it didn’t feel rushed. It gave space for the feelings to settle in. A simple story but it stayed with me longer than I expected.
