Good Luck With That

☆☆☆☆☆

 

When you start reading Good Luck With That, you might

imagine its going to be a book to teach you a lesson.

You know, the books with moral lessons and let me tell

you how to live your life. If you only listen to  me, I will

fix your dreadful life right up. We all know those books.

Frankly, I am sick to death of being told I am doing

it all wrong. Not a good enough wife, mother, woman,

human, friend, American, etc.....

 

But I guess, anyone that knows anything about

Kristan Higgins should know she would not write

a book like that!

Good Luck with That is far more about friends helping

friends to love each other and themselves.

Its very different from telling others they are doing

it all wrong. Emerson, Georgia and Marley are the

best of friends. The friends that love each other 

through it all. No judgement.

I think that might be my favorite thing about

Kristan Higgins. She does not judge.

 

I highly recommend all Kristan Higgins books.

But her womans fiction is out of this world.

I bought my copy from Audible.com

A Girls Guide to Moving On by Debbie Macomber | Review

A Girls Guide to Moving On

by Debbie Macomber

Debbie Macomber is very popular and has been around

for a long time for a reason. Her books are wonderful.
She is a terrific writer. I cannot imagine where the

characters come from. They are always different.
Her stories don't seem to have a formula that she

follows all the time or anything. A Girl's Guide to

Moving On is exactly that. Storytelling at its best

Nichole and Jake have a child, Owen. They are divorced.
Leanne is Jake's mother. She is divorced from Jake's father,

Sean. The two women are very close. They support each other.

They each know where the other has come from. And Leanne

loves spending time with Owen. They live in apartments

across from each other in an active area of Portland.

The story is told from each of the women's viewpoints. It is 

the story of moving on. Just as the title says. I won't give 

away any more.  I will only say that its a wonderful story.
Its well written with a readers flow. Terrific characters.
As we all are, they are humanly flawed. I do recommend

this story to anyone, though I guess it does speak to 

women better.

I appreciate being able to get this copy from NetGalley.

Four Friends - Audio Version Review

Four Friends

by Robyn Carr

Audio Version

This was my first Robyn Carr experience. She is an author

that I see around often. But just never got around to reading.

I saw this one on sale at audible.com so I gave it a try.

As you might guess, it is a story of four friends.
They share a street in a typical neighborhood. I have
wondered, if I got to know the other women on my
street, would I find such a diverse group? They are each

very different women. Their lives, their marriages, children,

family, history, thought processes all so very very

different. And yet, they are able to be supportive and

encouraging of each other. There are secrets and mysteries.

There are plenty of those ah-ha moments.

I do highly recommend this one. If you have never tried

an audio book before, this is a good one. It is

twelve and a half hours long. So you definitely get your

moneys worth. The narration is terrific.

The only problem you will have is when to pause the story.
I had a hard time just stopping. I am guessing if I had

read the paperback, I would have felt the same.  

I can promise laughs and tears, surprise, shocks.
And at the end, you will probably go out your front

door and look up and down your street searching

for a truck. But I wont tell you whose truck. haha!

I will definitely give Robyn Carr another listen to or read.

This one was fabulous.
