Story
Clare and Henry have known each other since Clare was six and Henry was 36. They were married when Clare was 23 and Henry was 31. Impossible but true, because Henry is one of the first people diagnosed with Chrono-Displacement Disorder: periodically his genetic clock resets and he finds himself misplaced in time, pulled to moments of emotional gravity from his life, past and future. His disappearances are spontaneous, his experiences unpredictable, alternately harrowing and amusing.

The chapters are cut in weird places
Reviewed: 06-04-20
The narration is ok, and the story is great (read it in print), but this audio version is defective.
The chapters are cut and ends in weird and wrong places.
It made it really hard to listen. And impossible to use the “end of chapter” sleep mode.
Read it in print or try a different audio version.

Story
In Beatrice Prior's dystopian Chicago, society is divided into five factions, each dedicated to the cultivation of a particular virtue - Candor (the honest), Abnegation (the selfless), Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the peaceful), and Erudite (the intelligent). On an appointed day of every year, all sixteen-year-olds must select the faction to which they will devote the rest of their lives. For Beatrice, the decision is between staying with her family and being who she really is - she can't have both. So she makes a choice that surprises everyone, including herself.

mediocre
Reviewed: 04-17-20
Was looking for something similar to the hunger games series, and this book came highly recommended.
Unfortunately it wasn’t what I was looking for.
It’s an ok book, nothing more.
There are numerous dull parts, and the writing isn’t captivating enough, so I will not continue to read the rest of the book series.
The narrator is kind of annoying. Although she does “act” the emotions right, I found her voice unpleasant...

A big disappointment
Reviewed: 03-12-20
Had great expectations for this book since most of the reviews are good and the premise sounds interesting.
Unfortunately, although the book Started great it got boring super fast.
Oona is extremely not likable.
After half a book I couldn’t stand it anymore, and returned.
The narrator is amazing.

Better then the second book. But still not as good as the first one.
To all the boys... had a great narrative and story.
This book (the same as the second) has almost no narrative structure, at times gets boring, and the gist is - nothing really happens.
Also Lara Jean is kind of annoying in this book.
Read the first book, it is awesome, and then stop. The series isn’t worth it.

The end was rushed.
A really disappointing sequel to a great first book.

What do you do when you are a nanny to an obscenely rich Park Avenue matron named X? Mrs. X refuses to do anything for herself, including cook, clean, or take care of her 4-year-old son. You are expected to do everything, including maintaining the mental health of said 4-year-old, even while Mrs. X decides that it is time for a divorce. You'll have to bear up under the strain with wit and panache, even as the boundaries between your working life and your so-called private life blur, merge, and disappear.

Ok. Not great.
Reviewed: 12-25-19
Started really good and interesting.
Unfortunately the book gets reparative very quickly .
The characters don’t evolve at all.
Badly structured story.
The message and social criticism gets lost in boring storylines.
Had trouble finishing it. Powered through in hope the book will get better , but it did not.
Just watch the movie instead, the screenwriter at least knows how to tell a story, and keeps the audience interested.
