About this listen

Dani, Meg, and Charlotte have bonded over babies, barbeques, and backyards, but when they escape for a girls' weekend away, they can't bring themselves to return to lives that don't seem to fit anymore.

Harried Dani can't explain why she feels so discontented until she meets a young gallery owner who inspires her to rediscover the art that once made her happy.

Dependable Meg faces up to a grief that threatens to swallow her whole and confronts a marriage built on expectations.

Flamboyant Charlotte, frustrated with her stagnated life and marriage, pursues a playboy Irish singer and beachside business opportunities.

All three of these women thought they would be different. None of them thought they'd be facing down 40 and still wondering when life starts. What they do when they realize where they're headed is both inspiring and wildly entertaining.

Girls' Weekend is a fun, yet poignant romp through the universal search of who we are, why we love, and what makes us happy by an author who is quickly emerging as one of our most incisive storytellers.

Excellent narration—- story was good but….

I loved the narrator - she did an excellent job… the story was entertaining and I enjoyed getting to know the characters, but it dragged on in a lot of parts and then rushed through the ending
…it was like the author just wanted to be done so she raced to finish.

Good narration of an ehh story...

So, I had high hopes. This author just missed the mark with semi interesting characters but narrow and predictable plot lines.
