A challenge to finish

I listen to a great number of books. The narrator sets the tone of the book without the listener knowing.
The narration is monotone and rarely can you tell the difference between characters.
Several times I started and finished other books just to be able to tolerate finishing this on.

I found the story required a serious leap of faith to believe what they were putting out.
I'm going on to the next in hopes this was an exception not the standard

Nice quick read. I as reluctant at first and really anticipated a much more negative out come. But ultimately this is a feel good read about growth and change. Totally loved it

I love a twist. I was sure I'd figured out early who the true culprit was but when the results were revealed I was amazed.
I will definitely be reading more about these characters

I often am able to figure out the story well before I'm finished. That was not the case with this story. Well written

Finished the series that was available through Audible Plus. This series was serious but there were definitely moments that I laughed out loud. Being able to find moments of humor in a serious situation is what makes it bearable.

I typically don't like digital voice but this one was actually enjoyable.
I like this so much I listened twice and bought the hard copy of the last book

I stumbled across this book at the perfect time

I have been trying to embrace retirement for more than 10 years. Currently I’m working at my third career. I will be turning 68 in December.
Listening to this book has given me a sense of peace in that I’m exactly where I need and ‘planned’ to be and I’m most thankful. I felt I was an anomaly because I haven’t been able to easily adapt to retirement or adapt to what I thought retirement would be.
However, this book gave me a clearer perspective on what I want my retirement to actually look like.
Knowing “I’ve made a clear contract “with those that I’ve previously encountered and those I’ve yet to meet .

Had to re-listen to a couple of sections because the twists were so unexpected.
Actually enjoyed it to the max

Overall a good story but extremely drawn out.
It wasn’t until way past the halfway point that everything was brought together in a complete idea.
I would have stopped if I hadn’t started
