Short chapters

I only just started and I am enjoying this book, but these are some really short chapters. I wish I had looked at the runtime of this audiobook before I got it because it's pretty short and that's kind of disappointing. It's cute and I like the characters and it's well narrated, but it just feels disappointing. I guess if you're looking for a short book or short chapters than this is the one for you. However, if you're looking for something a little better developed then you might not wanna do this one.

Light holiday read (listen) with some depth

I liked this book. I only listened to the audiobook. That makes it hard to judge the writing, but it seemed good. I did find it jarring the way each chapter ended abruptly. That made the book not really flow for me. I liked the characters and the plot and tropes. I could feel Eileen's pain and struggles. What exactly happened to Eileen? I especially liked the parts about her recovery. In spite of some of the serious plot aspects, it was a light holiday story. I just wished for more depth overall. The narrator was very good but not exceptional. I will probably read or listen to this book again, but it's not a favorite, although there were some really good bits. I liked the concept of turtles used throughout. I love turtles.

I enjoyed the characters!

I liked the story but wasn’t crazy for the narration. I feel I would have enjoyed it much more if the characters were easier to differentiate.
I appreciated that the characters were well developed and the fact that this was a collaborative effort was intriguing.
