I'm Still Here

By: Kathryn R. Biel

Narrated by: Lisa Beacom

Length: 10 hrs and 15 mins

Publisher's Summary

It started out as an ordinary day for Esther Comely-Cox, if you consider simultaneously totaling your car, smashing a Ho Ho in your face, and meeting a handsome doctor ordinary.

Estranged from her family over her sister's mental illness and death, Esther can't help but feel alone. And when Esther hears the voice of her twin sister who committed suicide seven years ago, she begins to question her own sanity, leading her to wonder if anything is what it seems. Searching for answers, Esther must confront her past while looking towards a new future; one in which she is finally accepted.

Through humor and heartbreak, Esther learns that blood does not mean family, that absence does not make the heart grow fonder, and that silence can speak volumes.

I'm Still Here

A fraction of what it is like, it would take volumes, very insightful emotionally, humorous.

A very emotional and beautifully written story.

This book has stolen my heart and has me thinking about how this illness has destroyed many life's. It is well written and I would suggest this book to everyone.

Good Story and Awesome narrator.

This narrator and character became one in the same. This was a sad story in many ways but with a feel good ending. Enjoy!

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Interesting characters in a very well-written and well-narrated story.

Depth and hunour

Dysfunctional family, mental illness, romance, humour, suspense, hot doctors and creamy cakes. A fantastic chick lit novel, a little on the darker side, that kept me guessing the whole way through with the twists and turns it took. I found Esther likable and relatable. I enjoyed Kathryn's writing style and have another of hers lined up to read already.

I listened to the audiobook edition, which I received free in exchange for an honest review. The narrator was fantastic, adding to the story.

Excellent!

If you could sum up I'm Still Here in three words, what would they be?

Any additional comments?

This had a very interesting plot and the author did an excellent job of portraying the characters in depth. I felt like I knew them by the end of the book. The narrator brought all of the characters to life and did several accents very well. Highly recommended!

A Great Emotional Story!!!!

Wow. What an emotional roller coaster. This audiobook really had me hooked from start to finish. It gave me all the emotions, especially anger. That was mostly thrown to Esther's so called parents. It also somewhat went to her sister, her other half. I absolutely love O.K, he was just absolutely perfect for Eather. This story is a must listen or read.

Highly Recommend

This book brought me to tears and shook me with laughter. You will really enjoy it too!

Great book

I really enjoyed this book, was drawn in from the beginning. I liked the storyline and the characters! Great listen! Thx

I’m still here

What a powerful book, I am happy the book ended as it did. To be the only child to stand up to your parents and not back down is a huge deal. And to share that and people think your over exaggerating until they meet them. I don’t want to spoil the story for anyone but it turns out that the twin thing is stronger than any other. Oh and the names and the back story behind them is just brilliant! Lisa Beacom does a fantastic job with the narration.

An amazing listen, loved it.

I didn't actually expect to enjoy this as much as I did, it's not my usual genre but it was engaging, poignant and gave me a roller coaster of emotions.
Very well written and enlightening about some mental health conditions.

Awesome

This was an amazing book, it covers so much of life and it’s ups and downs!
I loved the characters especially Ester and OK , I couldn’t believe what awful parents she had,
The mental illness covered brings light to those who suffer everyday with it! And Esters brain damage also highlighted the suffering of a person in that situation, the author has done some amazing background work with this book, so good on her for doing that.
The book had me in fits of laughter and I cried quite a few times too, but all I can say is that it was amazing I really enjoyed it.
The narrator was excellent and she did the proud.

Still here

I loved the narrator,Lisa Beacom. She makes the listen experience a joy.

This is a book that is very touching. Characters that have faced may problems, Emotions that are full and strong.
