When Izzy Astor gets on a plane to go home, she isn’t expecting much. It’s the usual holiday travel experience: busy, crowded, stressful. Then she spots her seatmate, who is anything but ordinary. Nate Phelan sports dark hair, blue eyes, and a deliciously rugged charm that Izzy can’t resist. Their connection is undeniable. Izzy never believed in destiny before, but she does now. Just ninety seconds after takeoff, their plane goes down in the Missouri River.

This was a breathtaking story. Beautifully written and expertly narrated. It hit a little harder being a military brat. Definitely recommend.

The beloved star of Friends takes us behind the scenes of the hit sitcom and his struggles with addiction in this candid, funny, and revelatory memoir that delivers a powerful message of hope and persistence. In an extraordinary story that only he could tell, Matthew Perry takes listeners onto the soundstage of the most successful sitcom of all time while opening up about his private struggles with addiction. Candid, self-aware, and told with his trademark humor, Perry vividly details his lifelong battle with the disease and what fueled it despite seemingly having it all.

Being able to listen to Matthew Perry with his unique cadence tell his harrowing story was very powerful. Although I did not enjoy the layout of the book, the story itself was strong enough. If you know anyone who has struggled with addiction, Matty lays it out for everyone to see a small fraction of the Pain. Take your time to listen and really comprehend.

I received this audiobook for free but all opinions are my own.
The life and death of Katherine, a dial painter, has life lessons for everyone. The story was harrowing but beautiful. The narration a perfect balance of strong yet sweet. I was not expecting to be so riveted with the lives of 20th century Ottawa residents, but their story is an important one. Worth a listen!

Nikki and Kyle Sebastian have a loving and healthy marriage. It’s only missing one thing they want—children. When the couple is diagnosed with “unexplained infertility” and endures several failed rounds of IVF, Kyle, for both their sakes, is unwilling to bury them deeper in emotional and financial debt. Desperate to have a baby, Nikki betrays Kyle’s trust in an attempt to try IVF one more time. The choice fractures their once-stable union. Now burdened with suspicion, resentment, and further grief, their little family is falling apart.

Overall the story was unimpressive. It started slow and continued to trudge on. The only reason I kept listening is because I had the ability to make it go faster. If you want a mostly monotone voice about middle class women’s issues in the background then this is the audiobook for you
