The Best Life Book Club

De: Sheila Roberts

Narrado por: Ann Marie Gideon

"[With] a set of characters so vivid we want to be their best friends, and a story that keeps us turning the pages, The Best Life Book Club is your book club book of the year. . . . A novel of pure delight!"—Patti Callahan Henry, NYT Bestselling author of The Secret Book of Flora Lea

It started as a book club. It became a way to build a better life together.

Karissa Newcomb is ready for a new start in a new neighborhood, as far away as she can get from Seattle, where her husband cheated on her with the neighbor who was supposed to be her best friend. She and her nine-year-old daughter are moving on to the city of Gig Harbor on the bay in Puget Sound. She even has a new job as an assistant at a small publishing company right in Gig Harbor. Her new boss seems like a bit of a curmudgeon, but a job is a job, she loves to read, and the idea of possibly meeting writers sounds fabulous.

Soon she finds she’s not the only one in need of a refresh. Her new neighbors, Alice and Margot, are dealing with their own crises. Alice is still grieving her late husband and hasn’t been able to get behind the wheel of a car since a close call after his death. Margot is floundering after getting divorced and laid off in quick succession. They could all use a distraction, and a book club seems like just the ticket. Together, the three women, along with Alice’s grumpy older sister, Josie, embark on a literary journey that just might be the kick-start they need to begin building their best lives yet.

It’s girly and simple

Same same simple and ok. Nothing to write home about. Could have used better character development

Great Story

I enjoyed listening to this story about friendship and finding happiness after divorce and lose. I look forward to listening to more stories from this author and this narrator.

book club love

Sheila Roberts is amazing as always! i have read several books by ms shiela and just absolutely love her books. love that she also mentions several other writers in this book that I like. love the fact that she mentions good friends that is so hard now days. ms shiela is v truly one of a kind

Another great book

Sheila you did it again.. I loved this book. Great characters , Story line , I love how they got together to help each other out .. Josie is a hoot.. .. but I love how they were able to build back their lives and start new .. you gotta read this book .. I would put more about this book but I might carried away and ruin it for you .. lol

A companionship, and unexpected, compaionship.

Spoiler alert, character are sassy, compassionate, realist, realistic and heartfelt. A wonderful full circle story of friendship, family and found love.

Pass on this one

The plot had so much potential but there was no depth, no deep exploration of feelings or relationships. It was very surface level and frankly just boring. The narrator wasn’t my favorite but I don’t think anyone could’ve saved this story.

Cliche

Another cliche “not pretty enough” wallflower gets noticed by successful, powerful hunk story…I couldn’t keep reading. Well written, but the storyline was not for me.

cute, but predictable

cute predictable nice happy ending, good performance, follows the Love Story formula- Boy Meets Girl they are either antagonistic or unattainable, but it works out in the end.
