Light holiday read (listen) with some depth

I liked this book. I only listened to the audiobook. That makes it hard to judge the writing, but it seemed good. I did find it jarring the way each chapter ended abruptly. That made the book not really flow for me. I liked the characters and the plot and tropes. I could feel Eileen's pain and struggles. What exactly happened to Eileen? I especially liked the parts about her recovery. In spite of some of the serious plot aspects, it was a light holiday story. I just wished for more depth overall. The narrator was very good but not exceptional. I will probably read or listen to this book again, but it's not a favorite, although there were some really good bits. I liked the concept of turtles used throughout. I love turtles.

I enjoyed the characters!

I liked the story but wasn’t crazy for the narration. I feel I would have enjoyed it much more if the characters were easier to differentiate.
I appreciated that the characters were well developed and the fact that this was a collaborative effort was intriguing.

Sweet story

This was a sweet story of an age gap romance. It was special in dealing with Eileen’s rehabilitation from a stroke and the developing relationship between Eileen and Naomi. The plot development was good and the narrator was also good,

Naomi’s resilience and Eileen’s determination

I really wanted their love to win over Eileen’s domineering mother. I’m glad Eileen realized how much she loved Naomi and that the relationship was what she wanted.

Short chapters

I only just started and I am enjoying this book, but these are some really short chapters. I wish I had looked at the runtime of this audiobook before I got it because it's pretty short and that's kind of disappointing. It's cute and I like the characters and it's well narrated, but it just feels disappointing. I guess if you're looking for a short book or short chapters than this is the one for you. However, if you're looking for something a little better developed then you might not wanna do this one.

What a wonderful story!

I found the Audible experience here superb. Stephanie Murphy as the Narrator does her magic with this book and I couldn’t bring myself to pause the play button. The characters were refreshing and sassy, with some tension filled crazy family drama added in. It’s a wonderfully written aged gap romance that our two Authors “Harper Bliss & T.B Markinson” have nailed. If you enjoy this type of book and or love these authors like I have...Go ahead and give this one a listen 🎧 📖 you won’t be disappointed 5⭐️

Warm and Fuzzy Holiday Romance

Life in Bits by Harper Bliss and T.B. Markinson is a touching holiday romance perfect for cozy winter nights. Narrated by the talented Stephanie Murphy, this age-gap love story is filled with warmth, introspection, and just the right amount of holiday cheer.

Eileen Makenna, a world-renowned photographer, returns home broken and unsure of her future after a life-altering event. Enter Naomi Weaver, a lively, optimistic small-town woman whose dedication to helping others is as infectious as her zest for life. The grumpy Eileen and sunshine Naomi dynamic is classic opposites attract, and their chemistry shines throughout the story.

The age-gap element adds a layer of depth and complexity to their relationship, making their journey to love both tender and rewarding. And let’s not forget the steamy scenes that spice things up and keep the chill of winter at bay!

Stephanie Murphy’s narration is well done, capturing the characters’ emotions and the cozy holiday atmosphere beautifully. Her performance brings the opposites-attract tension between Eileen and Naomi to life, making this short and sweet listen even more engaging.

If you’re looking for a quick holiday read with themes of healing, love, and personal growth, Life in Bits is a great pick. With grumpy sunshine vibes, steamy moments, and festive charm, it’s the perfect book to get you in the holiday spirit!

Never too old to find love

You would think at 49 Yrs old and 30 yrs abroad Eileen would be able to stand up to her mother. Naomi is full of life and good deeds. She is interested in cracking Eileen’s Christmas grumpy mood. This story is full of family drama and romance. These two authors make a great combination and Stephanie is a wonderful narrator. I found it made me laugh and what to smack some sense in the characters. I loved it.
