None of This Would Have Happened if Prince Were Alive

A Novel

De: Carolyn Prusa

Narrado por: Rebekkah Ross

Perfect for fans of Maria Semple and Jennifer Weiner, this “laugh-out-loud gem” (Beck Dorey-Stein, New York Times bestselling) of a debut novel follows Ramona through the forty-eight hours after her life has been upended by the discovery of her husband’s affair and an approaching hurricane.

Ramona has a bratty boss, a potty-training toddler, a critical and over-sharing mom, and oops—a cheating husband. That’s how a Category Four hurricane bearing down on her life in Savannah becomes just another item on her to-do list. In the next forty-eight hours she’ll add a neighborhood child and the class guinea pig named Clarence Thomas to her entourage as she struggles to evacuate town.

Ignoring the persistent glow of her minivan’s check engine light, Ramona navigates police check points, bathroom emergencies, demands from her boss, and torrential downpours while fielding calls and apology texts from her cheating husband and longing for the days when her life was like a Prince song, full of sexy creativity and joy.

Thoroughly entertaining and completely relatable, None of This Would Have Happened if Prince Were Alive is the “keenly observant, fast-paced” (Amy Poeppel, author of Musical Chairs) story of modern womanhood.

Light quick book

This book was fine. Not super deep or complicated , but definitely had parts relatable to most moms.

Love the title. Don’t love the ending.

Started cute & strong. Tried to love it. But dislike when writers try to “sneak in” their political stance and I didn’t agree with how it ended. Easy read/listening.

Fun & funny Hurricane Matthew story

Easy listen for the holidays. It was slightly irritating that the reader couldn’t pronounce Valdosta correctly but otherwise a good performance.

Hilarious & poignant

Laugh-aloud hilarious + pitch-perfect portrait of load of modern motherhood + reflections on grief, expectations & hope. loved

great!!

Loved this book. Author is witty, sarcastic, and funny. she really nails some of the common points of motherhood and the chaos that accompanies it. Very entertaining. Great characters. I also enjoyed the narrator. Definitely 5 stars!

Hmmm

Just didn’t end right for me. Cute characters. Good easy listen.
Wonder if there will be a follow up. It was certainly left open for one.

That’s great I starts with a Earthquake

Yes I know that is REM, but they are from Georgia. Anyway I loved the this book. The storm created a tense drive, and relationship is rock to its core, and no animal dies (although a cat disappears)

Loved this book!

Loved this story! So funny and uplifting. We all have bad days and this helps you laugh at them.

Nope. It just never took off…. Waited and waited and waited……

Did not enjoy all the “He said”, “she said” within the story and wasn’t a fan of the narrator. Sorry line was very bland. Easy read but very Ho-hum.

Wanted to love it

Did not love it. Love the love of Prince. Love the title. That’s all, folks .
