All of us have what it takes to make it in today's competitive and changing world. You may have doubted your ability to get the job done in the past, but something else may have been getting in the way of your success. The key to ultimate achievement has very little to do with your education or skill level. The secret to accomplishing great things is simple: Find and pursue the kind of work you are meant to do - your "purpose."

Just What I NEEDED
Reviewed: 11-14-19
I want to thank whoever recommended this book to me because it came just in time. It is very uplifting and eye-opening. Les Brown's delivery is on-point! I listened to it from start to finish,
"The universe will never give you anything you don't have the capacity to handle" was my favorite quote from the book. Life will knock you down, but don't become a victim of your circumstances.
This speech isn't neccessarily meant for finding your purpose, but it gives you the motivation to live out your dreams, whatever you want to do in life - Do it. No excuses.

Story
Meggie Meyer, an anxiety-ridden debut author, can’t bear to face her upcoming book tour, but she can’t give up on her writing career just as it’s about to really begin. She comes up with a plan that’s so crazy, it just might work: She hires an actress to impersonate her for the two-week stint. Sloan Buchanan, the spunky aspiring actress, jumps at the opportunity to use her intensive acting method to sink into this unusual role, and the line between her and her character quickly begins to blur. And Rachel Drake, the no-nonsense detective, is left to put the pieces together.

I found myself biting my nails waiting to see what happens next. I almost wish it were a movie. It absolutely deserves 5 stars for the performance, because I enjoyed the switching up of narrators. It was fun being able to play detective as the story unfolded. Overall, it was an excellent Audible Original. I would love to hear more from this author.

Story
Korede is bitter. How could she not be? Her sister, Ayoola, is many things: the favorite child, the beautiful one, possibly sociopathic. And now Ayoola’s third boyfriend in a row is dead. Korede’s practicality is the sisters’ saving grace. She knows the best solutions for cleaning blood, the trunk of her car is big enough for a body, and she keeps Ayoola from posting pictures of her dinner to Instagram when she should be mourning her “missing” boyfriend. Not that she gets any credit. Korede has long been in love with a kind, handsome doctor at the hospital where she works.

I couldn't make it to the second chapter. What is with all of the music and sound effects. Sounds like they are trying to hypnotize you or something. I'm sure there are good points made in the book, but the audio is not for me

My perfect life blew up in my face, and I'm still picking up the pieces. The last thing I need is her. A wildflower. A storm. A woman I can't resist. Lotus DuPree is a kick to my gut and a wrench in my plans from the moment our eyes meet. I promised myself I wouldn't trust a woman again, but I've never wanted anyone the way I want Lo. She's not the plan I made, but she's the risk I have to take.

Reviewed: 10-09-19
The female narrator voice sounds like Alexa. She doesn't really alternate between the voices, it's like she just read the book out loud. I had to follow along with the Kindle version. I love Jakobi, so his narration made the audiobook bearable (with a 1.25x narration speed)
On a different note, I admired this story, the connection between Lotus & Kenan, the realness, and the dialogue! They didn't let their age difference affect their relationship . I was also happy to hear Lotus's story since she was in the first book.
What I love most about Ryan's work is that she keeps it realistic, unlike some of these fairy-tale far-fetched romance stories.

This book got me through a rough time in my life. I enjoyed the narration and found out some great things about Joyce that made her the successful woman she is today, She does not sugar coat and she totally understands a woman's struggle.
Be prepared to take notes, this book is a keeper

Zuri Benitez has pride. Brooklyn pride, family pride, and pride in her Afro-Latino roots. But pride might not be enough to save her rapidly gentrifying neighborhood from becoming unrecognizable. When the wealthy Darcy family moves in across the street, Zuri wants nothing to do with their two teenage sons, even as her older sister, Janae, starts to fall for the charming Ainsley. She especially can’t stand the judgmental and arrogant Darius. Yet as Zuri and Darius are forced to find common ground, their initial dislike shifts into an unexpected understanding.

I thoroughly enjoyed this story. I can listen to Elizabeth Acevedo narrate all day! She brought the story to life especially with the spoken word.
Zuri has a strong love for her hood and sisters , she's one tough cookie that became open to love. I was so wrapped into this book I felt like a teen again.
I would most definitely check out more of Ibi Zoboi's work.

Jaclyn Love is a magnet for trouble - it seems to follow her wherever she goes. Unfortunately for Kadan Davenport, she also seems to be a magnet for him - even after a disastrous first impression that leaves him - literally - black and blue. Jaclyn is busy trying to find some sort of balance, and Kadan is just trying not to get swept up in the chaos. In a small city like Blakewood, it's hard to avoid each other...especially when each additional encounter makes them wonder if they really want to.
