De: Tara Sivec

Narrado por: Amy McFadden

Claire and Liz have always had a friendship that defied the test of time, but when one of them is diagnosed with a disease that every woman fears, their bond is put through the wringer. How do you cope knowing your soul mate could be taken from you?

Filled with memories of their life-long friendship, inappropriate behavior, bad tattoos, and shaving cats, the two friends will realize that laughter really is the best medicine.

Tattoos and TaTas is not your typical love story; it's a story of friendship and learning how to let go when something is beyond your control.

Super

The title alone was enough to intrigue me. We had listened to the Fool Me Once series and knew that the author had a great sense of humor. This book turned out to be all that I expected and more. The depth of the friendship between Claire and Liz touched me and reminded me that there is no one like your girl, no one you closer too, no one who'll stand by you without judgement like your best girl. Liz tells the story of their friendship beginning in their junior year of high school and moving through college years, an unplanned pregnancy, Liz finding falling in love, the births of their children and being business partners as well as best friends. Ironically the biggest threat to the long friendship of the two women comes from an event that usually brings friends closer together. This is a sweet, wonderful story and Amy McFadden does a great job as the narrator; this audiobook gets an unequivocal recommendation from me.

Clare--I identified with her character.

What about Amy McFadden’s performance did you like?

Loved her voice inflections and ability to change her voice for the character.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

When Clare called out Liz for not being there for her.

So good! Funny and touching all at the same time.

Loved it! I love the whole series! I think everyone should read or listen to it.

Just read it!

It teaches people to have the right attitude no matter what.. An irreverent version of Live, Laugh, Love or however you want to word it.

When life sucks, lift those up around you.

Also, the narrator is awesome.. :)

WONDERFUL....CLAIRE & LIZ BFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Would you consider the audio edition of Tattoos and TaTas to be better than the print version?

This was just a little xtra...it promoted breast cancer awareness and friendship...it was awesome!

I love Amy...she always delivers!

Maybe a lifetime movie....I hate this question....lol

Any additional comments?

Ahhh this was a funny tear jerker...and I loved it..Claire finds out she has breast cancer and Liz is having a really hard time with this...and so is Carter of course..but what Claire needs is her Bestie...of course she fights and wins..and gets a great new rack too...These women's friendship is special...and you got to see a little backstory... So well worth a listen!!

I RECOMMEND!! LOVED IT!!!!
