Another Slice of Cake

By: Tani Hanes

Narrated by: Kelsey Navarro

In this sequel to More Than Cake, MJ and Heath are older, hopefully wiser, and parents to two active toddlers.

They're going out on tour together to support individual albums, and have hired the wonderful Archie to be their nanny so their twin daughters can go with them. But they don't realize they've hired a snake to travel with them, a young keyboard player who wants Heath for herself, and will do whatever it takes to get him.

MJ and Heath are settling in to the second half of the first decade of their marriage, going through some strains in the ties that bind them together. Heath has become moody, irritable, critical of MJ for the first time ever. He's almost a stranger to MJ.

All of this, plus the strain of being on the road with their little ones cause cracks to start showing in what was almost the perfect marriage. MJ, in her anguish, turns to the kind bass player for friendship in her loneliness, while Heath begins to spend more and more time with the treacherous Carissa.

Contains mature themes.

Love the author’s writing, love the story… there’s just one irritating thing…

The twin girl’s speech, mannerisms, questions, and manner of speaking is developmentally, and cognitively, completely age inappropriate. It is extremely annoying, and honestly hard to listen to.
If the girls are meant to be an adorable part of the story… that could’ve easily been achieved by having them speak and interact in the ways 3 and 4-year-olds typically do. It would’ve been cuteness overload! Instead, I’m left repeatedly thinking to myself, “four-year-olds wouldn’t say this, or talk like that.” And honestly, it’s become very distracting.😕

a story to close to real

Real life is stranger than fiction, but this story capture the drama of a real relationship. Nice.

Misunderstood love

I didn’t like the moments when they were mean to each other. But I loved the moments that her true love realized she was all he needed.

Annoyed

I am so annoyed with this sequel. They went from being so in love to barely wanting liking each other. Again, I am so annoyed!!
