Story4 out of 5 stars 79
In a Seattle houseboat community, the artistic spirit that has flourished since the 1950s may have ended one life, yet saved another. On Seattle's Lake Union floats Boat Street. The farthest slip on the dock holds a houseboat sided with weathered cedar shingles and trailing morning glory, the white flowering vine whose loveliness is deceiving. In the 1950s, Penny, newly Mrs. Dexter Wentworth, takes up residence, dreaming of fulfillment as the muse to a successful local artist destined for national renown.

Laurie is sure love at first sight doesn't exist anywhere but the movies. But then, through a misted-up bus window one snowy December day, she sees a man who she knows instantly is the one. Their eyes meet, there's a moment of pure magic...and then her bus drives away. Certain they're fated to find each other again, Laurie spends a year scanning every bus stop and cafe in London for him. But she doesn't find him, not when it matters anyway. Instead they "reunite" at a Christmas party, when her best friend, Sarah, giddily introduces her new boyfriend: the man from the bus.

poorly written fluff
This would have been a great book if it had been written by someone else. The idea behind the thing is a good one, really intriguing. The prose is very labored. It comes across as trite. I found myself cringing often. Save your credits.

REALLY?
I did try, really, I did. But after about 2 hours I had to stop. As a few previous reviewers have said, this book reads like a teenage romance novel. Although the two eighty-year-olds (Bee and Evelyn) who are introduced in the early pages are depicted as "hip," they both sound exactly alike and behave like cliche old ladies. Emily, the protagonist, was described as a best-selling author, but she was so shallow, it was impossible to imagine. I had to speed up (thanks Audible for that feature) the narrator as her narration was so slow I felt she must be reading for the very elderly. I see this was Jio's debut novel and that she has published numerous books since. I presume her writing has improved!

confusing
I am finding this very confusing to listen to and cannot get thru it. Many people whose names start with E and it is hard to keep it straight. Not going to be able to wade thru it.
