Cozy and relaxing
Reviewed: 08-29-24
I wasn’t a fan of our main character. I found her very hard to root for and rooting for her is pretty much the main plot. The town and Ralph were my favorite parts of the book. It’s a slow read with not too much going on but nice to get lost in. TRIGGER WARNING: undiagnosed alcoholism that is never spoken about. The main character is drinking literally on a daily basis and often until she passes out.

Story
"Ninety-five days, and then I'll be safe. I wonder whether the procedure will hurt. I want to get it over with. It's hard to be patient. It's hard not to be afraid while I'm still uncured, though so far the deliria hasn't touched me yet. Still, I worry. They say that in the old days, love drove people to madness. The deadliest of all deadly things: It kills you both when you have it and when you don't."

I enjoyed it a lot … but
Reviewed: 04-18-23
I definitely enjoyed this book and look forward to finishing the entire trilogy. The writing was well done and the performance was great. However, it felt like a 3.5 rating book for me. I love the use of métaphores but they really seemed to go on in detail every single time they were used. Often they described how disoriented and woozy the main character was. She was always so disoriented and unable to speak. I understand where the author is coming from but it just felt like too often and too long of descriptions. My other struggle is that the narrator sounds like Velma from the live action Scooby Doo movies in 2001/2002 so I can’t stop picturing her 😆 It’s not her fault at all and her acting/performance was well done. It just added that extra level for this book to feel closer to a 3 rating rather than 4 for me. Definitely still recommend this for a good dystopian read!

Story
It was one of the most searing images of the twentieth century: two young boys, two princes, walking behind their mother’s coffin as the world watched in sorrow—and horror. As Princess Diana was laid to rest, billions wondered what Prince William and Prince Harry must be thinking and feeling—and how their lives would play out from that point on.

Beautifully honest and respectful

Thanks for keeping me company on my commutes to and from work Harry! I loved that he read it himself. I learned a lot about the press and thought back to stories he mentioned that I remember hearing years ago. But what struck me was how alone my body felt as he described his life. I felt a slight panic in my chest at each failed love, I felt glimmers of awe and hope in Africa and Afghanistan. Then it was back to the loneliness, dread, and panic. Of course until Meghan. Tension my body held released without me noticing it for a while. Harry did a great job of sharing his story in a way that the grandness of his life still felt humbled, and often saddening. My only downside would be that the story didn’t feel extremely new. With the Opera interview and Netflix show, this felt like another avenue to share their story with the world with details that weren’t able to be shared on film. This isn’t a bad thing, and most of the material was incredibly surprising and news to the world. Just something to note. I would have loved a deeper metaphor for the beginning and end. What Meghan said after the delivery of their daughter would have been the perfect ending line. That gave me chills

Feels like a middle school story
Reviewed: 01-04-23
The narrator read the story very dramatically when the plot and storyline is so simple. I don’t mind a middle school story but the narration was definitely overdone.
