a little far fetched

The characters are amazing I laughed and cried and rolled my eyes so much my husband finally asked what book I was listening to. The over all stort is a little far fetched BUT that is what made it so freaking awesome. You are so focused on the glaringly obvious plot twist that you completely miss another and then another. It was so good. loved everything

Spare Parts Coming Through

I previously read the book when it first came out. My full two-cents is on GR. Here's the abbreviated version:

Yep. Audio has been added! 😁 Mariah and Tristan continue to steal the show. Mariah's "Spare Parts Coming Through" addition had me crying and laughing. I'm so happy to have audio for this book. I do still question Annie's level of sanity when she forgives Terrence so quickly on multiple occasions but I can't deny that when he's not living up to Talia's nickname for him, they make a great couple.

I think Michelle Shure did a really good job with this cast of characters. I did miss the Southern accents a little it wasn't enough to deter from the fun that came through my earbuds. She nailed Talia with the food in her mouth and other shenanigans, as well as the others.

wonderful

This book was wonderful, the story flowed well. Hated the mother, loved everyone else. Glad is had a very Happy ending.

Well... damn, that just happened

Received ARC for an honest review. Such a good story. I wasn't expecting it to be so gut wrenching and funny and the same time. I love to read about a strong single parent just trying to get by and take care if their child as best they can. This book gives you that in spades. Annie is a nurse and she's also taking care of her son who is living with cancer. Terrence is a movie star who gets in a bad accident and needs care. He's angry and rude. The two are like oil and water but then they finally find a way to work together and the chemistry begins to explode. The only thing I felt unresolved on was Annie's mom, there was never any explanation as to what drove her to be so….. ugh… for lack of an better term. I don't want to spoil it but her mom was a complete bitch and while there was a small explanation as to what made her turn that way, we never learn why she did the things she did… truly. Other than that, I loved it. It was a really great book.

Loved loved loved this story!

Plot twist and surprises all around this book. Very entertaining and gives true love hope once again. Author does a great job and narration was perfect! Must listen!

Cute story

First time listening to the narrator and this author.

I really enjoyed the Book. You could tell where things were headed but I like how she got there.

The only thing that would of made this better is if it was also told by terry's perspective. I would of really enjoyed that 😊

I will definitely read more from this author.

Side not the author was good, I just prefer listening to things à Little faster so had the speed up to 1.3
