Haze: Book 2

De: Christine Bernard

Narrado por: Kendra Murray

Not all problems can be solved with a mute button.

Everyone knows Rebecca Marley. She’s the crazy, brave, and introspective woman who spent nine months without talking. Everyone loves her. She’s raw, honest, and relatable. She’s also rich and famous, although I’m sure you knew that already. You’ve probably read her articles, or her book, or seen one of her many interviews. She’s also socially anxious, self-conscious, and self-degrading, but she tries to keep that to herself. Her once-silent world has changed, and the noise has engulfed her. It’s also about to get noisier, as Rebecca agrees to a new challenge, perhaps even crazier than before. This story picks up from Mute, and follows Rebecca on a new journey, one which we all face today. It begs the question, "How do we find quiet in a deafening world?"

Honest Review

I loved Mute and found that Haze was a great follow up book. The story was so cute and the challenges were fun. I’m so happy for the ending and that Beks found herself.

Engaging characters; delightful story

This novel is a sweet story about being yourself and not letting others define you. If you’re an introvert or struggle with others' expectations, you’ll enjoy the self-discovery journey of writer Rebecca Marley. (Be sure to read the book Mute before this one.)

Rebecca is sarcastic, sassy and superb. Fabulous, flawed and funny. She is also prone to alliterations like these when describing someone or something. Apart from her love of words and repartee, she is insightful about life and human interactions. She doesn’t always like people, but her observations about them are spot on; at least in the opinion of this introvert. 

I love Rebecca’s insights, especially about happiness (no spoilers here, you’ll have to read/listen to find out).

Rebecca‘s journey from Mute to Haze is interesting, insightful and irreverent. OK. I’ll stop with the alliteration; see what you’ve got me doing Rebecca?

If you want a couple of books with lovely and engaging characters check out Mute and Haze.

Kendra Murray does a nice job of narrating and easily “becomes” Rebecca.

This book was so enjoyable that I almost forgot that I was given a complementary copy in exchange for my honest review. 

Another enjoyable read

I enjoyed the follow on from Mute and the challenges were really interesting. I kept on thinking what would I learn from the challenges. I liked the ending.

Fun follow up to Mute

A neat idea to do different challenges that strangers pick out. I definitely enjoyed Mute more. For some reason, this time the main character annoyed me. It is part of her growth, but still...I didn't care for her really.
All in all, I give this one 3.5 stars.

I was given a free copy of this in exchange for my honest review.

Lovely

Great book Great narrator. I truly enjoyed this series. I was sad for it to be over . Makes you think a lot about your own life . How you should treat others and always make time for friends and family.

Haze

I’m glad there was a sequel to Mute. After I read that, I had so many questions and thankfully, this book answered. I’m glad. I like closure.

I will say though, Rebecca can be quite negative sometimes. It was getting to the point where I was starting to get annoyed with her. I felt as if she was being purposely dumb at times. For example, Benjamin. Here is this guy, confessing his love for her in the 1st book, and what does she do with that information? Nothing. ::Sigh::

Overall, I liked the story. I liked the characters. I even really liked Rebecca (when she wasn’t being dumb). The narrator is good too. I love her voice.

if only it were longer

I absolutely love Christine Bernard. I feel as though she has climbed into my mind and wrote about my personality. my only complaint is I wish it were longer.... much longer. I'm only 3 hours in and I know I'm staying up late to finish this master piece. I strongly recommend reading Mute first so you get a better feeling for the main character. the narrator does an amazing job so you get an even better feel for the emotions the characters feel. do yourself a favor and read anything by Bernard! 😁

Fun fun fun!

Truly enjoyed this read! It had nice flow and the narrator made it come alive.
