So Much for My Happy Ending

De: Kyra Davis

Narrado por: Elenna Stauffer

When her boyfriend of three months, Tad Showers, proposes, 26-year-old April thinks that everything in her life is finally falling into place. Between her flaky, tree-hugging mother and her she-devil boss, marriage seems like the place she'll find love and security. Tad's exactly the kind of man April wants: smart, ambitious, and wildly romantic.

But soon after they're married, the honeymoon ends. Tad's crazy, extravagant gestures are starting to look less romantic and more...well, just plain crazy. Is it normal for her husband to never mention his family, rack up secret credit card debt, and get less sleep than your average insomniac? Are you still supposed to stand by your man, even if it turns out he isn't who you thought he was?

When she promised "for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health", this isn't what April pictured. But sometimes you don't get the life you imagined. And sometimes you have to figure out how to write your own happy ending.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Davis crafts an engaging, humorous voice for April...[and] fuses light-hearted romance with keen domestic suspense." (Publishers Weekly)

Male voices painfully poor

I love Kyra Davis so much I am slogging through this book. The male voices are so poor I turn down the volume. With a different narrator I would have made it through. I quit and requested the book from the library to read instead I just can't handle the choppy husband voice one more second! The author's ability to create characters and have witty dialogue is so refreshingly smart. She is worth reading, but not listening, to this book.

Book Good. Audio Voice Bad.

The book itself was really entertaining, a perfect companion to my powerwalking, but the woman who read it was TERRIBLE. My advice to the author would be to find a different reader because she does the book no justice.

Interesting ups and downs that mirror life

I really enjoyed this book, probably even more than Davis's previous two. The character's struggle to deal with her hidden ambitions and attempt to manage a difficult marriage are themes many people can relate to. The book, including the ending, were compelling. I didn't like this narrator quite as much as the one for her last two books. The voices were annoying, particularly the one of Tad Showers. But I got over it because I was more interested in the book than the voice. Also, the protagonist might have seemed naive, but anyone going through a relationship with a person who has an undiagnosed mental illness (in my case, close family member) will understand how chaotic and confusing it can be, particularly when it's less probable that objectivity is a force in play. Very interesting read!

Great Story

Loved it. I think we all can relate to a story of someone who presented themselves as someone they are not. Then have to decide to let go of dysfunction and choose to live life on our own terms. The narrator is awesome.

An engaging read...

A very engaging book from Kyra Davis. Although I found the protagonist to be a bit naive, I found myself cheering for her by the end of the book.
