Story
When you listen to this audiobook, you will make many assumptions. You will assume you are listening to a story about a jealous ex-wife. You will assume she is obsessed with her replacement - a beautiful, younger woman who is about to marry the man they both love. You will assume you know the anatomy of this tangled love triangle. Assume nothing. Twisted and deliciously chilling, The Wife Between Us exposes the secret complexities of an enviable marriage - and the dangerous truths we ignore in the name of love.

Enthralling, and sheds light on narcissist abuse
Reviewed: 10-13-22
Gripping storytelling. The epilogue ending was too much though- made the entire story feel over the top. Great narration and I'm sure this will translate beautifully on screen.
Also sheds light on the nuances and complexity of narcissistic abuse which feels important.

Story
If Avery Chambers can’t fix you in 10 sessions, she won’t take you on as a client. Her successes are phenomenal—she helps people overcome everything from domineering parents to assault—and almost absorbs the emptiness she sometimes feels since her husband’s death. Marissa and Mathew Bishop seem like the golden couple—until Marissa cheats. She wants to repair things, both because she loves her husband and for the sake of their eight-year-old son. After a friend forwards an article about Avery, Marissa takes a chance on this maverick therapist.

The narration is outstanding. The story is yummy high brow trash... perfect for the right mood but don't expect it to move your soul.

Story
At 22, Cheryl Strayed thought she had lost everything. In the wake of her mother's death, her family scattered and her own marriage was soon destroyed. Four years later, with nothing more to lose, she made the most impulsive decision of her life: to hike the Pacific Crest Trail from the Mojave Desert through California and Oregon to Washington State - and to do it alone. She had no experience as a long-distance hiker, and the trail was little more than “an idea, vague and outlandish and full of promise.” But it was a promise of piecing back together a life that had come undone.

I really wanted to LOVE this book
Reviewed: 09-27-22
The ending few sentences were honestly worth the read. However, I found myself longing for something more throughout most of this memoir. It very well could have been the narration, but the main character lacked a humility of spirit. There was a sense of self congratulations that felt like a slow simmer throughout the story and it put me off a bit. It reads more like a screenplay than a deeply personal memoir. After listening I watched the film adaptation which was lovely - Reese Witherspoon brought to life the honesty and humility I was craving on the page. Don't get me wrong, it's not that people shouldn't congratulate themselves, it just felt lacking the deep self inquiry I love in memoirs. That being said I finished the book and was glad I did.

Story
Written in intimate, gleefully TMI prose, Knocking Myself Up is the irreverent account of Tea’s route to parenthood—with a group of ride-or-die friends, a generous drag queen, and a whole lot of can-do pluck. Along the way she falls in love with a wholesome genderqueer a decade her junior, attempts biohacking herself a baby with black market fertility meds (and magicking herself an offspring with witch-enchanted honey), learns her eggs are busted, and enters the Fertility Industrial Complex in order to carry her younger lover’s baby.

Michelle is such a great narrator! It's nice to hear a queer baby making story that's fairly light hearted and fun but still honest. You'll binge each chapter up!

Top notch narrators make this audiobook addictive. Plot can be 'soapy' but a good fun summer read.
