The Good Luck Girls of Shipwreck Lane

De: Kelly Harms

Narrado por: Reay Kaplan, Suehyla El-Attar

A debut novel about luck and love, and winning a sweepstakes, with a cast of characters who will charm listeners. The Home-Sweet-Home Network has just announced this year's lucky winner of a brand-new, fully loaded dream home: Janine Brown of Cedar Falls, Iowa. For Janine "Janey" Brown, hearing her name called on the TV has the hallmarks of one of her aunt Midge's hare-brained plans designed to bring Janey into a world outside the one she once shared with her fiance. Janey, however, is reluctant to give up the safety and sanctity she finds in her tiny kitchen, submerging her anxiety and grief in the pursuit of the perfect pot-au-feu.

Meanwhile, across town, Janine "Nean" Brown just knows that this house is her destiny. Good fortune took its sweet time showing up in her life, but better late than never. And now that it's here, the house promises an escape from the latest in her revolving door of crappy jobs and drunk boyfriends. This house will turn her into someone the world sees, instead of the bedraggled girl who others look past without a thought.

Both Janine Browns head for Christmas Cove, Maine, to claim the prize they both rightfully think is theirs. When their lives and personalities intersect, however, they discover that more than just a million-dollar dream home awaits them at the water’s edge. These three women (oh yes, Aunt Midge comes along for the ride!) arrive at their newfound mansion only to uncover what exactly it means to truly be "home."

Filled with wit and charm, The Good Luck Girls of Shipwreck Lane is Kelly Harms's enchanting and heartfelt debut - a testament to the many, many ways love finds us, the power of a home-cooked meal, and just what it means to be lucky.

So clever and funny, and so much fun. I loved the characters.

Great and clever writing, good choice of readers, Aunt Midge was marvelous, just a great story!

I sailed away with this book! Terrific read!!

I loved this author.....her voice is wonderful and she puts you right into her story..........
I wasn't only reading...I was feeling...Her characters come alive...the plot was well done and I can't wait to read this author's next book...........So refreshing!!!! Didn't want it to end!

This book made my heart wiggle its toes!

I love the way Kelly Harms writes. The way she has her characters describe things often has me laughing out loud. I’ve listened to “You Can Thank Me Later” at least twice. I am sure I will listen to this book again (especially since it only took me a few days-I couldn’t stop) and I am off to buy another one of Kelly’s books. I enjoyed both narrators, too!

Must read

So witty and yet makes you think! Could not have enjoyed it more!! Each character has a secret and a need to just be themselves.

A great listen!

If you love cooking, friendship and a story about women you will love this story!

Good beach read

Enjoyable characters and a story that moves along nicely. The narrator did a great job.

Wonderful story!

I loved this story & the characters. They all had dimension and stories of their own that wove within the story. Would love to see more of them. Will Miss Aunt Midge though!

Excellent!

Wow, exceeded all expectations with a story line that was deep, modern day, and a refreshing new topic; overall excellent book, story, and narration. I wish all audio books could be this good. Thank you Kelly Harms, Reay, Suehyla, and Audible for this excellent production.

Hilariously engaging

This book kept me totally delighted and constantly laughing. Also insightful and very relatable. Highly recommend.

Good, light, funny

I loved listening to this book because the narrators were very entertaining and I could almost picture the faces of the characters!

I loved there was humor mixed in with the story. It was a nice change from all the serious books I've been reading lately.
