About this listen

Meet Prinny, Chelsea, and Diana. Prinny is the owner of Cosmos, a shop that sells crystals, potions, candles, and hope. It's also a place where no one turns down a little extra-special cocktail that can work as a romance potion or heal a broken heart. But Prinny is in love with her married lawyer, and she'll need nothing short of magic to forget about him.

Chelsea works as a living statue at tourist sites around Washington, DC. It's a thankless job, but it helps pay the rent. That and her part-time job at Cosmos. As her dream of becoming a successful actress starts to seem more remote and the possibility of being a permanently struggling one seems more realistic, Chelsea begins to wonder: At what point do you give up on your dreams? And will love ever be in the cards for her?

Diana Tiesman is married to Leif, a charismatic man who isn't faithful. But no matter how many times he lets her down, Diana just can't let him go. She knows the only way she can truly break away is if she leaves and goes where he will never think to follow. So she ends up at Cosmos with Leif's stepsister, where she makes her homemade teas and tinctures as she figures out whether she'd rather be lonely alone than lonely in love.

In Beth Harbison's One Less Problem Without You, three women suddenly find themselves together at their own very different crossroads. It will take hope, love, strength, and a little bit of magic for them to find their way together.

I found this book a bit difficult to follow. Using different narrators for each character might have helped, as having the same voice for multiple characters made it confusing to listen to at times. The story itself didn’t really draw me in, which made it take much longer than usual to finish.

I’ve really enjoyed other books by this author, so I was surprised by how different this one felt. The characters lacked depth, which likely contributed to the overall lack of engagement. The ending also felt abrupt—more like the end of a chapter than a true conclusion. Overall, this one just didn’t work for me.

Meh

I like how their lives are intertwined. I was sad in a few spots and sand wanted smack the man but in the end a little bit of evil makes you feel good

This story had great bones and potential, but not quite as much meat as I'd have liked. It seemed to end quickly. Even though you see the end coming/hope for certain things to happen, I wish it could have been drawn out a bit better.

Great bones

This is a good story with lots of interesting story lines. Characters are clearly good or bad, which is refreshing. There are whimsical elements and challenging domestic abuse details. Narrator does a great job with all characters.

An interesting read

I have loved every other book by her, but this one was really pretty bad. If I had been reading it instead of listening, I definitely wouldn't have made it through. The story jumped around too much, the primary characters were really under developed, and I couldn't even remember who the secondary characters were. I was glad she attempted to stray from her normal storyline, but this was not done well. I was also disappointed that the narrator couldn't pronounce "digoxin" correctly. Overall disapppointing.

Worst of her books

I bought this book years ago. I started listening to it and just wasn't in the right mood. I finely listened th o it all the way through. It was really very good. I loved the end!!!

It went back and forth between years so much it was hard to keep track.

Another great book by Beth Harbison, great twist at the end. The narrator, Orlagh Cassidy one of my very favorites, always makes the characters come alive. Keep them coming👍

Great Listen

I enjoyed this book, but definitely not one of my favorite Beth Harbison books. Parts seemed to be a knock-off of Big Little Lies. Orlagh Cassidy was great as always.

Not my favorite Harbison
