Well Read Nana 1/24

A bit anti climactic but still fine

Reviewed: 02-19-25

I liked it but it was a bit lack luster . So many characters,A storyline that could have easily been amazing,I liked the premise but it was just lack luster. It was a solid read but it could or should have had more passion ,more emotion,more everything.

I’m so sorry but can I please get my credit back for this book . So dull !!!!

Reviewed: 02-14-25

This book was like a retelling of the most boring day in a life story, 3 days described of pure flatness so sorry to say . It sounded so promising,a firing ,a wedding and a ex husband to deal with but this was like listening to a grocery list. I just don’t get it and I’m so bummed that I feel like I wasted my credits for this but I do .

This is more of a life story than a love story

Reviewed: 02-11-25

I listened to this on audio and the narrator was amazing, excellent job for sure . This author has great writing skills and I would definitely recommend and read more from her . With that send this book is more of a life story over love . It was heartbreaking and not just for the loss of the main character in the end of her life but for all the very reasons that make a life story very complex,sad and difficult at times. I think the writer showcased too much of the lows in this couple life and the results of those hard times and didn’t touch enough on the beautiful times in life . The beautiful times were skimmed and the hard times were showcased. More balance would have been such a better way to go,just my humble opinion. If you call a book a love story then show it more . Life is hard and complicated but if you only focus on those moments it can be a bit depressing. The read had a bit too much “ depress “ to it .

This book was good but could have been 5 star amazing.

It think it’s always a disappointment to the reader when a assumptions in the entire theme of the book and the enormous amount of pain and suffering from all when it would or should have been addressed and the book could have been powered on by truth of the accident yet the author could have shown the selfishness of the Cat as the teenager that goes off to leave and live her live without the very easily accessible information that she had the whole time to know the truth yet just believed a practical strangers deception. The truth would have made it a much more interesting read . All of us have the ability to be selfish but the action of Ann Marie to Amanda never set well . This book is still a worthy of year time read . So please read because the author is talented and look forward to her next book but hopefully she will learn a smarter book is always a better one.

I love the honesty ,the ease and simplicity of the way author Mel Robbins explains the way to help us have a better conversation with ourselves in order to have hopefully a better life . She shares so much of herself and she never gives you any bit of babble . It’s all very personal,solvable and heart to heart . No huge big blah ,blah doctor words ,just true life lessons explained with heart and soul. When you hear Mel Robbins speaking on this audio it’s like you’re having a heart to heart with her and then with yourself. I truly appreciated all her sharing ,honesty and kindness in hoping that we all succeed with her and for ourselves. I’ll be listening to this book many times over ,it’s the encouragement that never stops giving when you are listening. Thank you Mel Robbins

It was disturbingly fair read at best

I never like to not finish or jump around on a credited audible read because they are pricey and I don’t like to waste my credits. Sadly that is what I felt like I did with this listen . It wasn’t horrible but there were so many “WTH “ moments that I just couldn’t relate or understand. From the ex husband,he was so unlikable,to the mom , and her sad sad issues . It was a very upsetting read too ,just not what I expected or wanted to listen to

Such a heartbreaking,heartfelt,honest and loving tribute and memoir

Reviewed: 10-11-24

I laughed ,I cringed ,I shed tears and sobbed . Lisa Marie daughter Riley should be so very proud of herself and I’m so proud of her as a reader . Lisa Marie ,Elvis ,her brother ,so much insight so much love and honesty . This book is such a sad book yet thoughtful and inspiring. Lisa Marie ‘s life was so good at times ,so hard ,so heartbreaking and self destructive. Nature or nurture ? Generational trauma and early death. So touching to listen to with Riley Keough and Julia Robert’s narrating . I give this book 5 stars of such respect to Riley Keough . You did your mom so very proud and we wish you and your sisters and family decades and decades of love ,light and peace

Wow , I was so late to the Judy Blume fan club but I’m now a true fan

This book has it all .Great ,flawed,tragic,sad ,complicated characters in all age groups. From the grandparents to the parents to their children it’s a very dysfunctional yet wild and crazy ride . I laughed at times ,was sad at times , understood and thought WTH at times but overall I loved it. Life is very strange,messy and wild and this book captured it all very well

Sweet ,clean romance that was sometimes a bit too slow

Reviewed: 06-06-24

This is a sweet read ,you could definitely give it to a teenager or adult who doesn’t appreciate detailed sexual content or swear words. I like my romance more witty and spicy so it was a bit bland for me but I could still appreciate the sweetness of the story. 3.5 stars for me

Good until it became so ridiculous

Reviewed: 05-11-24

The book started with promise and then the last 25 percent fell apart for me .So far fetched,so painfully ridiculous and eye rolling that I wished I never bothered reading the ending . Horrible ending and the twists were so pathetic and painful to read and believe.
