So great!

Listened to this book to and from work and found myself sitting in my cat until the chapter was over. Loved the story line once I got a hold of all the characters. Sometimes with audibles if there are many characters it takes me a minute to remember who is who.

I found myself laughing and crying with the characters, Jane Green never disappoints.

Touching story!

Very character driven. Not action packed, but as a middle-aged woman I felt I could identify with so many of the characters’ uncertainties and questions about life.

One of the best!!

I read every book that Jane Green publishes and this was one of my favorites!! What a great one to get lost in!!

Loved it!

Great book! Great characters and storyline and loved the tie up ending too 😊 nice that all characters went on their way and there were second chances and gratitude for what they had even if it wasn’t always what they longed for....good book!

Boring

I listened to this a while ago. As I recall, the reader was fine. I just found the story boring. I know it's not Shakespeare. I was looking for something light and fun, but it just wasn't that compelling.
