Unexpected

Enjoyed the book. I was not sure at the start but then I decided to give it a chance. it was good. unexpected events and secrets.

Pass me a Kiwi

While somewhat predictable, I wasn’t bored. The characters are like-able enough, but the author does rely on superlatives too much. It is always “the MOST beautiful stare” or the “absolutely most intense feeling ever.”

But there’s the accent from Down-under, and it makes everything okay. :-)

Touching, sweet story

This was a lovely book. My second from this author. The narrator is incredible and truly brings the story to life. There’s a tough event that happens to one of the MC’s. But with her partners love & support she perseveres. Wish there was a sequel as it ends rather quickly.

Love it

I’ve listened to this book three times over the years. Great and moving story. Likable characters with great relationships. Very moving.

Such an incredible story

Extremely well written and even better performance. Such an emotional roller coaster of emotions. I cried through most of the second part.

Excellent!

I loved As Far As It Takes. This book will motivate you to get off your butt and do something. Do something to improve your life today.

Oh Shit!

This audiobook was a lot more than I expected it to be! The story was fun to listen to for the first half, then it got emotional, and I was driving around with tears in my eyes. I worried that Jamie would be sad and alone again after finally finding the love of her life. I cant say what happened, but remember, the sad parts usually make the ending even happier in books :) if I knew before I purchased the book what caused the sadness late in the book, I might have put off buying book, because it's heavy subject manner, but, now that it's done, I feel a bit lighter, like I endured their hardships along with them. sorry for the run on sentence. I really enjoyed the book, all the characters, the shake to my emotions, AND THE NARRATION WAS AMAZING!!!!! LOVED the voices for the all of them. loved the Australian accent. Anyway, get this audiobook.

Marvelous Story of Growth and Healing

Great characters. Magnificent narration. A study in obstacles that either overwhelm or give great opportunities for improvement physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Any book by this author is worth the time and money.

A+

Good read. I loved it all. Good story, good characters, good narration. A+ in my book.
