Emily Henry and Julia Whelan are favorites and really bring characters and worlds to life. Great Big Beautiful Life in a way similar to other books is a character growth and love story. Alice goes to see a wealthy woman who she found after she disappeared 20 years ago after her husband died. The husband […]
This one is bittersweet. I found this series fairly recently, even though it has been around almost a decade. This is a really good zombie series that starts with a group of friends in New York City who try to escape the city to get to Cassie’s deceased parents off grid/prepper home. Then they meet […]
Emily Henry’s stories related by Julia Whelan really hit the feelings for me. Funny Story started as not at all funny but heartbreaking. The outcome was ironic, not humorous funny. With only a week to find somewhere to live, Daphne ends up with the ex-fiancé (Miles) of her ex-fiancé’s (Peter) new fiancé (Petra). Uh, yeah. […]
This short novella is not required to follow the series, but is a great addition. This story follows a different POV than the main series. There’s a spoiler for who this POV is if you haven’t read book one. This story is harder to read than the first one. There’s a lot more loss […]
I picked up this audiobook during a two-for-one deal on Audible. Sounded like a fun story and I liked the narrator, Julia Whelan. I’m glad I grabbed it. While this story is a pretty typical zombie story, I really like the characters. There’s been rumors about outbreaks in other cities in the west, but this […]
Emily Henry and Julia Whelan are an author/ narrator combination that I really enjoy. Happy Place gives us a long term couple where each loves the other, maybe more than themself. There is also the insecurity of not being enough for the other person. These feelings are based on both family and personal history. We […]
I enjoyed this author’s first book and have consistently enjoyed her narrations. Since Thank You For Listening was in the world of audiobook narration I couldn’t pass it up. Of course, it was so much more than a story about audiobook narrators. It’s more than a contemporary romance. It’s solid Life Fiction, with characters developed, […]
There are many reasons to love reading. Book Lovers has them all. A romance with realistic people and issues make what I call life fiction. I relate to Nora completely. She loves fiercely and selflessly to hold her family together and the memories. She does everything to protect, help and make her sister, Libby happy. […]
I really loved the feelings and characters. I was deeply connected to them and I was in suspense as I could see the train wreck coming. It is angsty for me when the characters have to separate and take some time for personal growth and to figure out some things. People We Meet on Vacation […]
I was excited to read Six Weeks to Live with its family drama and mystery. The mother, Jennifer, quickly finds some irregularities in her tests and realizes she may have been poisoned. She spends lots of time figuring out who it might have been and how they might have done it. It was easy to […]
