I was in the mood for a funny romcom. This wasn’t that. The story was ridiculous. The narration was flat. I could never tell which character was speaking. The “mystery” wasn’t a mystery. Nothing worked.

I don’t like when there are inconsistencies in the story line of a book series. There were some key incidents from previous books in the series that were either wholly glossed over or just omitted. I also felt Jane was emotionally stunted and had the wanderlust of an 18 year old. What made her think a baby was the right accessory for seeing the world. Sounds like something a teenager would think. I also thought it was naive to think she could move her successful business from small town Montana to some of the most expensive cities in the country. Didn’t make sense to me. Finally, I did not get the impression Jane was actually in love with Burt. It feels like she settled. Even though Burt was a great guy, I think Jane would always wonder if there was something out there for her.

It’s not as bad as the reviewer who had a hard time finishing reported. The last few chapters were a bit ridiculous and not thought out well. But it was okay.

Not much of a story. And the narrators was pretty bad. Like they were reading and paused at the end of a line instead the end of a sentence. The story made me think a 15 year old wrote a story about what they thought a 30 year old would think and feel. Just not a great book.

This started out cute but turned unnecessarily raunchy halfway through. It was no longer cute and not very interesting. I don’t know how the story ended because I stopped listening.

I listened to all the books in this series because I’m just like that. I don’t think the books were well written. I think the decision to have multiple narrators was down right silly. There was so much useless detail in these books. It’s like the writer was paid by the word.

I loved this book. The characters were beautifully flawed and wonderfully relatable. The pace was great and the narrator did a great job.

This book is finally a reasonable conclusion to the story. It’s the fist one of the series that wrapped up several story arcs.

Why so many narrators?

The story is a slow mover. Multiple narrators are complexly unnecessary. It does not make the story more interesting or offer insight to the characters POV. This series could be severely condensed without loosing anything. The writer spends so much time describing mundane tasks. …Mia put laundry in the washer…added a soap pod…set the load to normal… started the washer… left the room…. Okayyyy. Why so much detail? It did not advance the story. It’s almost like the writer tried to use as many words as possible.

So the main character is getting evicted from her apartment with no place to go and she finds out she inherited property? What was her plan. Was she going to sleep in her car? This was never explained. The dialog creeped along. Slowly. No real twist.
