Story
Taking over her parents’ estate-sale business is not the life’s work that Emma Lewis bargained for. Yes, she grew up helping them empty people’s nests, but nothing prepared her for her biggest and stickiest “get”—the grand, beautiful house of ill repute masquerading as a decidedly beddable B and B. Should Emma turn down potential clients in need of decluttering just because they are shady, escort-y, and proud of it?

Cute but predictable
Reviewed: 03-07-25
I enjoyed this book. But was a bit surprised that it had been featured in People Magazine as a good read. I enjoy rom com but thought it was a bit too predictable to be considered as a monthly “contender” for mention. Thought paying full price on Audible was not warranted.

Story
Hillbilly Elegy is a passionate and personal analysis of a culture in crisis - that of white working-class Americans. The decline of this group, a demographic of our country that has been slowly disintegrating over 40 years, has been reported on with growing frequency and alarm but has never before been written about as searingly from the inside. J. D. Vance tells the true story of what a social, regional, and class decline feels like when you were born with it hung around your neck.

Another gripping story

Micky Holler and Harry Bosch together is an excellent pairing. Enough plot twists to keep reader interested. Another winner from the author!

Great story

This was my first Jojo Moyes book and I thoroughly enjoyed it. A bit of a slow start but it grew into a heartwarming story of friendship, empowerment and triumph. I will definitely read more of her books.

Another excellent Grisham novel
Reviewed: 06-24-22
Somehow missed reading this book when it was first published. Enjoyed the plot and all the lawyerly details. Grisham hits a home run. And Scott Brick is, as always, a superb narrator.
