Loved Juanita

the first movie I'd ever watched on Netflix was Juanita. the movie was very loosely inspired by this book. I decided to listen to this book and damn it, I wasn't disappointed. it explained a lot where the movie didn't. I loved all of the characters!
the narrator was awesome! she gave everyone some type of personality and they felt like real people. this how a book should be narrated!

I loved every minute of this book

A good for your soul, heart warming kind of book. Juanita Lewis takes us through her mid-life crisis when she ups and leaves her overbearing deadbeat grown children and moves from Columbus, Ohio to Papermoon, Montana. Her new life is filled with promise, finding herself, acceptance and love from strangers. She ends up landing a job when she was just supposed to be just visiting the place and falling in love with the owner Jess.
She finds her self by doing something she always feared.Life is not a dress rehearsal, you don't get a second chance. In other words do what you fear, take changes, and really live, you might find your true self #Book49of2020 #bookworm #whatsnext

TOUCHING

The author and narrator are a perfect match, for this book. The story is sad sometimes, funny sometimes, and heartwarming sometimes. I listened to it while walking, and it helped me get more steps in. a very enjoyable read!
