One’s Company

A Novel

De: Ashley Hutson

Narrado por: Rachel Jacobs

Bonnie Lincoln just wants to be left alone. To come home from work, shut out the voice that reminds her of some devastating losses, and unwind in front of the nostalgic, golden glow of her favorite TV show, Three's Company.

When Bonnie wins the lottery, a more grandiose vision—to completely shuck off her own troublesome identity—takes shape. She plans a drastic move to an isolated mountain retreat where she can re-create the iconic apartment set of Three's Company and slip into the lives of its main characters: no-nonsense Janet Wood, pleasantly airheaded Chrissy Snow, and confident Jack Tripper. While her best friend, Krystal, tries to drag her back to her old life, Bonnie is determined to transcend pain, trauma, and the baggage of her past by immersing herself in the ultimate binge-watch.

This might be my favorite book of all time.

I loved this book. Every chapter I was engrossed in the story. I enjoyed every second.

Quirky, Dark, Entertaining

I truly enjoyed this book mainly for how different and unusual the story displayed how one handles grief.

Great, unsettling read. Great performance but some wild mispronunciations.

This story gets to something raw and scary about grief, and about our desperate desire to remake ourselves in the wake of tragedy. I loved the narrator, but the editing team or whoever needed to catch some of her mispronunciations and correct them. No judgements but there were some really jarring ones. Examples: chasm and homage. There were a number of other noticeable ones I can't remember at the moment.
Skip this one if you don't like characters who are mentally unstable or having your heart ripped out of your chest. Gorgeous and haunting.

Strange, absurd, funny, heartbreaking

Having trouble rating this because I can’t tell if I loved it or not. I don’t even know how to explain it but if I had to I’d say The Truman Show meets WandaVision meets Barbra Streisand’s fake shopping mall basement.

It was a fascinating premise that took some odd turns. I didn’t love the third act but it was definitely an interesting read unlike anything else I’ve ever read before.

Thus is probably the best book I've read this year!!!

Loved thus entire book. Just phenomenal. If you've ever watched the T.V show, 3s company, you will love this book.
