I loved Demon’s internal voice. Funny, kind, and practical, without the tiniest bit of self pity.

I found the storyline predictable and the characters one dimensional and uninspiring. The relationship between “Frankie” and “Jamie” left me annoyed.

I loved every word of it - so much so that I bought the hardcover book. If you have any interest in health and longevity, I highly recommend this book.

I’ve got seven hours left of this and I can’t bring myself to listen to another word. This was supposed to be about a crime. Instead it’s this completely uninspiring romance, under circumstances more incredible than the Manti Teo catfishing story. Sure, I’d love to know what ultimately happened. But I’m unwilling to slog through hour after hour, day after day of this woman’s deceitful yet dull life in order to get there. Really disappointing.

The premise was interesting but ultimately the resolution was incomplete and unsatisfying. And the legal case seemed preposterous.

The story moves at a glacial pace, with a lot of discussion of the basics of tennis, and the narration is annoying, especially the manner in which the father’s voice is narrated.

I loved every word of it. Courageous of Will Smith to reveal his flaws and struggles along with his wins.

I loved the women characters in this book, particularly June. Rebecca Lowman the narrator was PERFECT. I could listen to her voice all day. I thought the end was disappointing - a little too relationship-focused. June was an intelligent, independent woman throughout the book. And at the most important moment in her life she’s thinking about a guy?

I'm a long-time runner trying to muster up the motivation to train for yet another half marathon ... and I was surprised to learn that this title was just what I needed! Katie talks just enough to be interesting and motivating, without being excessive or annoying. Pleasantly surprised at how good this turned out to be. Hopefully my race time will reflect that.

I couldn’t stop listening. It has completely changed my perspective on the immediacy of global warming. I wish everyone would read this book.
