Come Away with Me

De: Karma Brown

Narrado por: Jorjeana Marie

"[F]ull of lush locations, memorable characters, and a turn of events that is nothing short of jaw-dropping." —Taylor Jenkins Reid, author of Daisy Jones & The Six

An unexpected journey leads one woman to discover that life after loss is possible in this emotional novel from the bestselling author of Recipe for a Perfect Wife.

One minute, Tegan Lawson has everything she could hope for: an adoring husband, Gabe, and a baby on the way. The next, a patch of black ice causes a life-altering, devastating accident. Tegan is consumed by grief—not to mention anger toward Gabe, who was driving on the night of the crash.

Just when she thinks she's hit rock bottom, Gabe reminds her of their Jar of Spontaneity, a collection of their dream destinations, and so begins an adventure of a lifetime. From the bustling markets of Thailand to the flavors of Italy to the ocean waves in Hawaii, Tegan and Gabe embark on a journey to escape the tragedy and search for forgiveness. But they soon learn that grief follows you no matter how far away you run, and that acceptance comes when you least expect it. Heartbreaking, hopeful and utterly transporting, Come Away with Me is a luminous celebration of the strength of the human spirit.

Amazing, heart tugging, beautiful read.

Love this book to pieces. The only thing that was upsetting to me was the mispronounced Hawaiian names of places. It really detracts from the listening of the story.

Pretty good story - poor narration

What did you like best about Come Away with Me? What did you like least?

The story was pretty good. It did seem like it wasn't going to get to the point, but when it did, it was surprising. I didn't care for the narrator at all.

What didn’t you like about Jorjeana Marie’s performance?

I didn't care for her performance at all. She sounded like she had a head cold, and needed to blow her nose. She sounded very nasal the entire time. The way she mispronounced words was annoying, as well.

Meh

The plot and idea of the story is really good. But I just felt like the main character wasn’t likable at all and spent the whole story feeling sorry for herself. Just didn’t love it.

Best ever!

I completely loved this book. The ending was fabulous and caught me by surprise. I would definitely recommend it to anyone.

Powerful and much much more!

I couldn't stop listening! Tegan and Gabe's story was beautiful and heartbreaking. The author did such a great job of making the reader feel all of the emotions, from anger and anguish to hope and peace. My favorite was the journey they took and the places they visited! I felt like I was right there for the ride. Can't wait for more from Karma Brown!

I wanted to love it

I really wanted to love Come Away With Me by Karma Brown. I was told it was a tearjerker, and while the ending was beautiful, the way everything tied together and the surprise twist was well done, I personally found the book very slow and boring. I didn’t feel the emotional impact I expected, and I didn’t cry at all—which is unusual for me, since I tend to cry at most things.

Maybe it was because I listened on Audible instead of reading it, or maybe it just wasn’t my style, but unfortunately, this one didn’t work for me. I feel bad giving it a low rating because I can see how others might really enjoy it, but for me, I wouldn’t recommend it.

Hard to follow the story line

The story jumped back and forth in time so much that I was confused most of the time.
It made it very hard for me to follow the story line. I've read other books from this author
and this one was a disappoinment.
