Now that she’s returned to New Orleans for Thanksgiving break, Viva is charged with figuring out the truth behind a mysterious bout of illness traced back to a local creole restaurant called Madame Bouchard’s.

I found this book by searching for other books by the narrator. I love detective stories and was looking for something to listen to on a long drive with my son, age 5 at the time, that would engage us both. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and he didn’t complain lol. Today he asked me about the book with the girl and her grandma and the silver buttons because he wanted to listen to that book again, he’s now age 7. Thank you for this series! Keep them coming!

Story
Ariadne Hui thrives on routine. So what if everything in her life is planned down to the minute: That’s the way she likes it. If she’s going to make partner in Toronto’s most prestigious law firm, she needs to stay focused at all times. But when she comes home after yet another soul-sucking day to find an unfamiliar, gorgeous man camped out in her living room, focus is the last thing on her mind. Especially when her roommate explains this is Choi Jihoon, her cousin freshly arrived from Seoul to mend a broken heart. He just needs a few weeks to rest and heal.

A self-acceptance, self-love and romantic love story

This was a true immersive experience. The writing was well done with enough detail to tickle the imagination but not so much that the brain is taxed. The fly on the wall perspective of being othered although one has a multi-generational history in a country. The narrator held my attention and although the inflection in her voice where not vast for the different characters she did mail the “boss lady” voice. I’m looking forward to more from this without and narrator! I even enjoyed the inner thought of bias shared amongst the coworkers. So good!

Story
Gracie Reed is doing just fine. Sure, she was fired by her overly “friendly” boss, and yes, she still hasn’t gotten her mother into the nursing home of their dreams, but she’s healthy, she’s (somewhat) happy, and she’s (mostly) holding it all together. But when a mysterious SUV pulls up beside her, revealing Chinese cinema's golden couple Wei Fangli and Sam Yao, Gracie’s world is turned on its head. The famous actress has a proposition: Due to their uncanny resemblance, Fangli wants Gracie to be her stand-in.

good characters that still emotions and reflect the real inner dialog that happens in us. I do need to get the notes on this organization system though.

Story
Natasha: I’m a girl who believes in science and facts. Not fate. Not destiny. Or dreams that will never come true. I’m definitely not the kind of girl who meets a cute boy on a crowded New York City street and falls in love with him. Not when my family is 12 hours away from being deported to Jamaica. Falling in love with him won’t be my story. Daniel: I’ve always been the good son, the good student, living up to my parents’ high expectations. Never the poet. Or the dreamer. But when I see her, I forget about all that.
