Publisher's summary
A freshly funny and heartfelt novel about one woman’s secret life, the stories she tells, and the thrill and notoriety of being noticed.
On the same day Bells Walker learns that her IUD has failed, her husband Harry is denied tenure at his Manhattan university. So Bells, Harry, their two adolescent children, and her baby bump move to New York’s Hudson Valley, where Harry has landed a job at Dutchess College in the town of Pigkill.
When the farm-to-table utopia Bells envisioned is anything but, she turns to the blogosphere. Under the pen name the County Dutchess, she anonymously dishes about life in Pigkill, detailing the activities of hypercompetitive parents and kombucha-drinking hipsters. Suddenly, Bells has a place to say all the things she’s been secretly thinking about being a wife and mother. As Bells turns the focus of her blog on her new neighbors, her readership continues to grow, but her scandalous posts hit closer to home: she puts Harry’s new job in jeopardy, derails her children’s lives, and risks the one real friendship she’s built.
When Bells uncovers scandals right under her nose, the Dutchess goes viral, and soon everyone is asking, Who is the County Dutchess? Now Bells has to ask herself if it’s worth losing the people closest to her to finally feel noticed by everyone else.

Story
Growing up in foster care, Muir has lived in many houses. And if she's learned one thing, it is to Pack. Light. Carry only what fits in a suitcase. Toothbrush? Yes. Socks? Yes. Emotional attachment to friends? Foster families? A boyfriend? Nope! There's no room for any additional baggage. Muir has just one year left before she ages out of the system. One year before she's free. One year to avoid anything - or anyone - that could get in her way. Then she meets Francine. And Kira. And Sean. And everything changes.

She was the owner of one of the most successful shapewear companies in the country. There was even a white picket fence around their home in Vermont.

Story
What Doesn't Kill You is the story of how Thomasina Hodges, a.k.a. Tee, loses her job and finds herself. Tee's evolution after her sudden and unexpected outplacement, is loosely based on the stages of grief - denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance, relinquishing, readjusting, and reinvesting. For Tee, losing her job is like a death, but with time, and some bumps, bruises and a new attitude, she comes out on the other side, having reassessed what's important in her life.

Story
Charlotte has everything in life that she ever could have hoped for: a doting, artistic husband, a small-but-thriving flower shop, and her sweet, smart five-year-old daughter, Daisy. Her relationship with her mother might be strained, but the distance between them helps. And her younger brother Rocco may have horrible taste in women, but when he introduces his new girlfriend to Charlotte and her family, they are cautiously optimistic that she could be The One. Daisy seems to love Ruth, and she can’t be any worse than the klepto Rocco brought home the last time.

Perfect reflection on life.
Lightness and airy essence. Enjoyed this author and narration. I liked how real the author was about life, joy and disappointment.

Funny, smart, and heart-warming!
I’m a big fan of Lea Geller’s books—she has such a sharp way of seeing the ridiculous yet redeeming side of people. The narration really enhanced this book too—it kept the story light, humorous, and ultimately helped deliver on a message that certainly warmed my heart!

A must for every mom
If you have ever sent your kids to school with a lunch picked up from a gas station this book is for you! It was a great listen. Not deep, but totally real!

Not great
I really liked the performance but the story was so so. I didn’t love the main character and felt the story fell short. It’s fine and not a complete waste of time but I have definitely enjoyed other books more.

Good Story
This a good listen, it shows all the messy parts of life. No matter how good someone's life looks from the outside you never know what people are really going through.

Just okay
It's difficult for me to rate this book because I couldn't stand the main character. She struck me as whiny, self-centered, and less mature than her teenage kids. The storyline proceeded at a slow pace, and I did crank up the speed at about the half-way mark to finish it quicker.

interesting concept
interesting concept. Good solid story line, interesting, but not deep character development. I'd call it light summer reading/listening.

A Letdown
I forced myself to finish this book.
The storyline had much potential. The characters were completely unsympathetic and irritating. I would pass.
