I liked it!

I really enjoyed this book. I liked the narrator. I like to walk a lot and started listening to books while walking. I finished this one in a few days. The author is a good story teller.

A different way to look at things

A lovely story about relationships coming to an end and how to handle that for the couple and for everyone who loves them

Engrossing Interwoven Tale

I appreciate a solid story with believable characters doing things and behaving in believable fashion, which is what this author delivers.

This tale engages the reader in contemplative thinking while subjecting them to a wild and stormy ride through questions of inter-relational commitment, human frailty, vulnerability, avoidance, hard-earned wisdom, and yes, love.

Not bad but not my favorite.

The story wasn't bad. Just a bit predictable maybe? May have to try another by this author to see.

Too Many Words

This story could have been half as long and still interesting.... I found myself spacing out.

The Divorce Party

I truly enjoyed this story. Laura Dave is an amazing storyteller. I can’t wait for her next book❣️

I love her storytelling

This was not my favourite Laura Dave book, although I did enjoy it. I think the ending dragged on with a closure go every important character.

It never took off for me

I liked the characters and kept thinking there would be more to the storyline. I thought the end was disappointing...almost boring.

Not my favorite

Just ok. The story feels a bit forced and not very compelling. The narrator sounds bored and harsh.

4.5 overall

Kept my interest and was entertaining. I would recommend to someone looking for a beach read
