Story
Eve is a successful novelist who wakes up one day in a hospital bed with no memory of how she got there. Her husband, never far from her side, explains that she has had an operation to remove the large, malignant tumor growing in her brain. As Eve learns to walk, talk, and write again—and as she wrestles with her diagnosis, and how and when to explain it to her beloved children—she begins to recall what’s most important to her: long walks with her husband’s hand clasped firmly around her own, family game nights, and always buying that dress when she sees it.

I've helped my parents battle cancer 3 times. One survived and one didn't. This book is the most real depiction of what it feels like to go through that situation that I've read. I commend Ms. Kinsella for her strength and bravery in sharing her story and wish her many years of Normal Plus happiness.

I truly enjoy Denise's writing style and how real she makes her characters. She captured what it's like to live in a bigger body, and she made it as beautiful as it should be seen.

The overall story was very well told, but I especially liked how realistic Nia's thoughts were after enduring the previous relationship. Denise Williams is a great, modern storyteller.

Story
Beloved author Elizabeth Gilbert returns to fiction with a unique love story set in the New York City theater world during the 1940s. Told from the perspective of an older woman as she looks back on her youth with both pleasure and regret (but mostly pleasure), City of Girls explores themes of female sexuality and promiscuity, as well as the idiosyncrasies of true love. In 1940, nineteen-year-old Vivian Morris has just been kicked out of Vassar College, owing to her lackluster freshman-year performance.

Move over, "Eat, Pray, Love," Elizabeth Gilbert will now be known as the author of "City of Girls." The story was so well written and creatively presented. Elizabeth's evolution as a writer and mastery of her craft truly shine in her latest novel.

Sixty hours weren't enough

Stephen Fry truly brought Doyle's writing to life. I didn't expect 60 hours of listening time to go so quickly and that I'd be sad to reach the end. I really enjoyed every minute and plan to listen to it again.
