Resumen del Editor

Marnie is just 35 when her boyfriend, Brian, drops dead of a sudden heart attack. Stunned by his death, Marnie finds her greatest grief is for Troy, Brian’s son whom she has raised as her own since he was a kindergartener. When he is reclaimed by his train wreck of a birth mother, Troy’s departure drives Marnie to a grief group at the local rec center. There she finds unexpected allies, three strangers who join her in an impulsive road trip from Wisconsin to Las Vegas to reconnect with Troy. Along for the ride are fifty-something Rita, prim and ladylike on the outside, seething with rage on the inside over the murder of her daughter; Laverne, Marnie’s introverted landlady who is crippled by grief for her late husband; and Jazzy, a psychic driven to the grief group by an unseen voice. Together they embark on the adventure of their lives, a journey toward healing, friendship, and love.

enjoyable break.

Narrator did a good job, story was good with enough obstacles to overcome. characters likeable.

Good Story -Lite

Not exactly a literary piece of work but a very nice predictable story. Funny, sad and likable. Narration was a bit off. I liked Eby’s voice especially for the 4 women but not the others. Good book to listen while taking a road trip!!

Road Trip

Good characters, unusual story, lots of twists and turns. Finish somewhat predictable, however doesn't deter

Great story!

such a delightful novel! I'm stunned that there are some negative reviews because this is a terrific book

Delightful

Sweet story with a happy outcome. Great writing and very positive viewpoint. Enjoyed the narrator Tanya Eby.

moves along with a too many coincidences.

too lightweight for my taste. plot can be guessed before the action takes place. thin

Light, Fun, Perky Chick Lit

This is very, very light reading. The characters are caricature, the plot is light and predictable. But sometimes that's just what you want to read. The narrator was perky, which was the right tone for this book. I can't recommend it as literature, but as chick lit escape, it was enjoyable.

I really liked this story.

The narrator was very good , the story moved well! It was a very enjoyable read.

Overall good read

It was a slow start but picked up in the end. Overall a good read.
