The Burned Bridges of Ward, Nebraska

De: Eileen Curtright

Narrado por: Emily Sutton-Smith

There are no secrets in a small town. For someone like Rebecca, that can get awkward.

Rebecca Meer's hometown of Ward, Nebraska, is small - so small that she can't even sneak home after a drunken girls' night without running into at least three people she knows. But she has bigger problems than her reputation. The head doctor at her fertility clinic is losing his mind, and his wild behavior could cost them the business. Her supersuccessful ex-boyfriend has blown back into town and somehow become her son's fifth-grade teacher - now her son is asking awkward questions about the end of their relationship. Rebecca can't even run the PTA's annual food drive without getting mixed up with criminals. In Eileen Curtright's astute comedy, we see just how far a stressed-out single parent will go to be the "perfect" mother.

waste of time

not much redeeming other than Atlas Shrugged references. Voice was rather bland for all characters. Strange story...

took forever to get through

but I did finish the book. somewhere along the way it became quite funny, entertaining. the narration was good.

deleted book

t00 many "f" bombs in the hour of book. Too many swear words for me.

no my cup of tea.

I have zero tolerance for people who make their own life miserable such as this main character.

Very entertaining

I found this book entertaining. In places I laughed out loud. I enjoy the satire surrounding testing in American schools. Sadly most of the satire is true.
