    Bernadette Fox is notorious. To her Microsoft-guru husband, she's a fearlessly opinionated partner; to fellow private-school mothers in Seattle, she's a disgrace; to design mavens, she's a revolutionary architect, and to 15-year-old Bee, she is a best friend and, simply, Mom.

    Then Bernadette disappears. It began when Bee aced her report card and claimed her promised reward: a family trip to Antarctica. But Bernadette's intensifying allergy to Seattle - and people in general - has made her so agoraphobic that a virtual assistant in India now runs her most basic errands.

    What did you like best about this story?

    I loved everything about this book! It is so fun and quirky but also has a good deep story to tell.


    What about Kathleen Wilhoite’s performance did you like?

    The narrator was incredible and truly sucked me right in to the book! She gave each character so much life and personality. I don't think anyone else could have done this book justice.


    Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

    I laughed out loud many times.


    Any additional comments?

    This book was a such a great use of my credit definitely no regrets here.

    One question, a split-second decision, and Brian Darby lies dead on the kitchen floor. His wife, state police trooper Tessa Leoni, claims to have shot him in self-defense, and bears the bruises to back up her tale. For veteran detective D. D. Warren it should be an open-and-shut case. But where is their six-year-old daughter? As the homicide investigation ratchets into a frantic statewide search for a missing child, D. D. Warren must partner with former lover Bobby Dodge to break through the blue wall of police brotherhood, seeking to understand the inner workings of a trooper’s mind while also unearthing family secrets.

    Would you consider the audio edition of Love You More to be better than the print version?

    Definitely purchase this book! The story had so many great twists and turns I couldn't turn it off ( I could have listened to it all the way through in one sitting if I had the time). Narration is wonderful, I loved the different narrators for the two women characters. I for sure recommend this book for those who love a great thriller!

    The story begins in 1962. On a rocky patch of the sun-drenched Italian coastline, a young innkeeper, chest-deep in daydreams, looks out over the incandescent waters of the Ligurian Sea and spies an apparition: a tall, thin woman, a vision in white, approaching him on a boat. She is an actress, he soon learns, an American starlet, and she is dying. And the story begins again today, half a world away, when an elderly Italian man shows up on a movie studio's back lot - searching for the mysterious woman he last saw at his hotel decades earlier.

    Intriguing, Addictive, Enjoyable.


    Any additional comments?

    I really enjoyed this book, and the way it was written really allowed me to picture the story and enjoy it! The narrator did a fantastic job I can't wait to hear more books from him. This story does a seamless transition from decade to decade that just keeps you wanting more.
