Written with genuine emotion.

This book is written with great emotion regarding the loss of a child. The many stages of grief and live are all reflected, by all characters.

Great Book!!!!

This book is amazing. It carries from the first word to the last wondering what is going to happen next. Several times I had tears in my eyes because I felt for the people in the story.

I couldn't stop listening!

This book is yet another nonstop read/listen. Lost myself in the beautiful story of friendship, love and loyalty. Thank you Kristin Hannah

Night Road

love it, listened to it 2x, will probably listen to it again.
Memorable moment is when they all became a family again and remembering what was good despite the tragedy that had taken place.

Don't read the reviews

They give away half the book even when they don't mean to. It's good. Just listen to it.

Great read!

Lexii is a child that has been let down by so many including her drug addict mother and the foster care system. When she finally finds a loving home with her aunt, her world changes. She has stability, she meets friends and has a boyfriend and their family accepts her as their own. She’s looking forward to graduation and college. Her world is turned upside down when tragedy hits and she looses this and so much more in an instant. Her world is shattered as well as her friend’s family. Grab the tissue, this one will pull at your heartstrings in so many ways.

Long but worth it

I enjoyed this book although I think it could have been edited down to not be so long as there was a bit of unnecessary repetition. It was like, “Yeah, yeah, I get your point. Now let’s get on with it!” The narration was excellent. Some of the story was a bit hard to swallow, but I still kept coming back.
