I really felt the narrator brought each character to life in the way the author intended. Both Sugar and This Bitter Earth are beautiful written and captured me as a reader/listener. You won't be disappointed!!

Not quite as good as Sugar in my opinion, but it was still good, most sequels are flops in my opinion, but this one was alright. If you really just need to know what happens to everyone, it’s worth it.

Follow up to Sugar

The connections, the investment in the characters, the ability to transport listeners to Bigelow and the narrators powerful voice all made for a journey that made me late for work more than once because I couldn't stop listening.

OMG You blew my mind
