Story
Eliza Naumann, a seemingly unremarkable 9-year-old, expects never to fit into her gifted family: her autodidact father, Saul, absorbed in his study of Jewish mysticism; her brother, Aaron, the vessel of his father's spiritual ambitions; and her brilliant but distant lawyer-mom, Miriam. But when Eliza sweeps her school and district spelling bees in quick succession, Saul takes it as a sign that she is destined for greatness.

I literally have no idea what I just read! No wrap up. No clarification… nothing . It felt like a bunch of cryptic nonsense. Was the whole family mentally ill?

Story
Sisters Siena and Gia Amato have just moved to King City. On their first night in town, Siena is almost run over by the devastatingly handsome Jason Parker, who’s trying to evade arrest after getting caught drag racing by the police. While the circumstances of their meeting are less than ideal, Siena can’t deny the instant attraction she feels for him―even if it goes against every one of her “good girl” instincts.

Did I miss something?!?
Reviewed: 2023-10-23
There was an entire storyline around a character who went missing early on and it was never addressed or wrapped up at the end. What happened to her? Where is she? Did she die? Is this a set up for another book? Why make such a big deal about a missing character for so long throughout the book and then just drop it?

The male narrator was painful to listen to
Reviewed: 2023-10-23
At first I thought the male narrator was putting on a voice for a specific character and tolerated it for a chapter, but then I skipped ahead and realized he sounds like that throughout the entire book. I couldn’t do it. I missed out on this story because the male narrator’s voice was like nails on a chalkboard and I just couldn’t do it.

Story
Ever have one of those days where life just plain sucks? Welcome to my last three months - ever since I caught my can’t-be-soon-enough-ex-husband cheating with his paralegal. I’m 35 years old, and I’ve lost my NYC apartment, my job, my money, and frankly, my dignity. But the final heartache in the suck sandwich of my life? My great-aunt Maggie died. The only family member who’s ever gotten me. Even after death, though, she’s helping me get back up again. Too bad that bravado only lasts as long as it takes to drive into Huckleberry Hills. And see the house.

Cute, light story. I enjoyed it even more because the narrator did an awesome job. I have stopped listening to better written books because I found the narrator annoying… not this one!

Reviewed: 2023-04-26
Seriously?!? Based on the photo of a black woman in the cover, I thought I was choosing a book with a rare black female lead. So I was very disappointed when she sounded like a dippy, blonde, valley-girl. No way this girl’s parents were from Nigeria. Even more annoying was listening to her describe herself and talk about her dark curly hair. I struggled to match the voice with the character.
This may be a good read, but a terrible listen. I stopped after about 10 minutes.

This is the 4th book that I’ve listened to in this series. The stories themselves are relatively well written but the storyline is getting old… the women make a pact to marry billionaires and then all accidentally fall in love with billionaires who save them from an attacker.

I liked the story overall but didn’t particularly care for the obviously not black narrator’s impersonation of a feisty black woman.

Thinking her marriage was over, Tessa was more than a little shocked to fall into the arms of her husband (literally) at a party she'd planned through her new company, Decadent Events. When he asks her out for coffee, she assumes it's to sign the divorce papers he'd seen. What's a girl to do when her heart still goes pitter-patter for a man who ran out on her six months after they made their forever vows but comes back asking for another chance?

A desperate, heartbroken wife still swooning over the husband who ghosted her for months, accepts his lame excuse for leaving without warning or explanation and eagerly takes the coward back the minute he slinks back into town with a bouquet of flowers ?!? Yuck! Not a great start for newlyweds and NOT my idea of a romantic love story. No! I do not recommend.
