Yes, And

The One

De: Kristi Coulter

Narrado por: Kristi Coulter

Can I be honest with you? A wife and husband face a defining moment in their relationship in this emotional, sweet, and surprising confessional about love, monogamy, and the secrets we share.

When Kristi Coulter’s husband proposed, she didn’t admit her fears. When they exchanged vows, she didn’t reveal that she was terrified that marriage would ruin her life. During fifteen years of genuinely happy marriage, she never said a word about another man in her life. Then she comes clean - about all of it - and discovers a new world.

Kristi Coulter’s Yes, And is part of The One, a collection of seven singularly true love stories of friendship, companionship, marriage, and moving on. Each piece can be read or listened to in a single sitting, with or without company.

Entertaining and some great lines.

Entertaining, keeps you guessing and some great lines that you'll want to write down. And just long enough!

Great!!

Is this a true story? I think so! But, no matter, I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this heartfelt, poignant and very lovely account of one woman, her neat-o husband, and the emotional complexities that develop outside of her marriage. Well written, well done, well narrated! Well worth the short amount of time it takes to listen.....☺️

Had never heard of a “lanky” boy before!

Interesting story of a desire never quenched. I had never heard the term “lanky boy” before, but completely understood the type based on the author’s description, which intrigued me to keep listening. I could feel her frustration. I loved the communication between the couple. So many people don’t communicate, and hide their feelings, which can have terrible consequences on the psyche and health. Author’s cadence isn’t very smooth, but it’s hard to read your own work aloud so I applaud her effort and hope she has more (I haven’t looked yet)!

Monogamish

Coulter is a gifted narrator, but the marriage she depicts is not the type of relationship I’d ever want. Either her husband is a saint, also has a piece (or pieces) on the side, or gets something out of this arrangement I’m not seeing. 20+ years of marriage... yes, and they get to make up their own rules.

Quick & easy listen

I decided to listen while I was out grabbing something to eat & running errands. It made for a good, easy listen with just enough details.

enjoyable

great story. listened to it three times. truly enjoyable. the author made you feel as if you were there in every scene. great job!

insightful

I was enthralled with the story and waiting for a predictable ending which didn't happen. I found it refreshing and honest. thoroughly enjoyed.

Surprisingly good!

This story is very pleasant and surprising! I loved all parts of it. Well written!

Humorous and Upbeat

I usually don't listen to books on audible, but I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The author not only is a great storyteller, but she also narrated the book and did a fine job. It was humorous, witty, lively, and left me feeling as if I was a part of the story. This was the perfect length for the story being told while allowing you to relate to the main character. I can't wait to read or listen to the rest of Kristi Coulter's books.

Not an engaging performance

I couldn't get past a few minutes. It is sweet for the author to want to narrate their own writing, but I found her performance to be similar to a teacher's/librarian's read-aloud. Nothing against that. I am a fellow educator. I also found too many cultural references to a certain American era. So, I wasn't engaged.
