Nobody's Perfect

De: Sally Kilpatrick

Narrado por: Coleen Marlo

From a USA Today bestselling author comes a poignant, funny, and heartfelt novel about a wife and mother grabbing hold of a second chance she never saw coming.

Vivian Quackenbush enjoys a typical life. She has winesday evenings with her two best friends. Her son is in college. She and her husband, Mitch, are planning the next move for their empty-nester future. But to Vivian’s blindsided surprise…not together.

After nearly twenty-five years of marriage, Mitch wants a divorce. He confesses that he doesn’t love her anymore. He never even liked her chicken salad! Brutal. What is Vivian to do but channel her anger, frustration, and pain into a video she posts online. Ill advised? Perhaps. Cathartic? Absolutely. Overnight, Vivian goes viral. Millions of views and counting—to Mitch’s fury, her son’s embarrassment, her mother’s support, and the media’s delight. For Vivian, it’s a moment of truth: hide or lean into it. Vivian 2.0 chooses to lean—maybe even toward the younger single father next door.

Now Vivian is wondering where she goes from here. She’s discovering that somewhere in her trending if upended life, she’ll have to figure out who she really wants to be.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“A deftly scripted and original story that will hold the reader’s fascinated attention from first page to last. An extraordinary and highly recommended pick.”—Midwest Book Review

touching story

I really enjoyed reading this author.  I look forward to reading more books by this author in the near future.

A fun ride

This was a sweet story and it was fun to hear aloud things that you might say to yourself. Cute story. Main character bordered on cutesy but always likable. Easy listen.

A serious issue dealt with humor and the cul-de-sac club!

Light humor during a difficult time! A story surrounded by women of the same age!

Loved this story!

Went in blindly and ended up loving this book so much! Tears, laughs, and friendships!!

Fun & Quirky

Spunky look at the challenges of marriage, divorce, motherhood, friendship, family, and all things love.

Fun read

I loved the plot and characters in this book. The conflict in the book were real everyday struggles that real people experience, sprinkled with humor.

Fun story

I liked the lightheartedness of the story. It was good for some laughs. The narrator was fantastic! She did a great job with all of the voices.

3 stars

Nobody's Perfect by Sally Kilpatrick started off really well, instantly pulling me in. However, Vivian became careless for the sake of popularity and took far too long to be accountable, if at all. I kept waiting for her to grow and do the right thing, but it simply took too long for me, which turned me off from the book.

Coleen Marlo takes a second to get used to, but once I acclimated, I found her amazing. I love her range and the emotion she brings to the characters.

Mother Daughter relationship

I think this could’ve been better- everything about it felt older. It was supposed to be a 50 yo woman, going through divorce and empty nest. But it felt like a 65 -70 yo, with her stay-at-home and baking stuff. Even the narrator sounded older. (I say this as a 55 yo woman having recently gone through divorce). I wanted it to be more.

Absolutely loved the narrator, so easy to listen to and funny

Nothing that I disliked. Loved the relationships &and real life situations, words of wisdom &and encouraged.
