Summary
When a group of writers loses a member, a summer spent sorting through her things offers the perfect escape for the friends who loved and miss her.

Sable has everything and her bestselling novels have made her a star. But she has a past she is desperate to hide.

Elly is an intellectual who has hidden herself within the walls of academia, afraid to admit she is tired of being alone.

Barbara Ann is the talent behind twenty-six romance novels, but she’s lost control of her career and her family.

Beth’s popular mysteries have become the only way she can fight against the secret tyranny of an abusive husband.

Gathering in Gabby’s house on Olive Street, away from their troubles, the four women discover something wonderful: themselves. And together they realize a dream. For, in telling the story of a remarkable woman, their own stories begin to change.

This book is just ok. A little schmaltzy. The narrator can be annoying. She can’t do mens voices without making them sound like idiots. Men can be idiots, but not all deserve that portrayal off the bat. The book was free, so it was worth it, but don’t pay for it, or use a credit.

Great Book! I enjoyed all the banter. It’s sounded true to life. All the ups and downs and heart warming.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Jun 2022

This was a fabulous escape, thoroughly enjoyed!! * it did take me a bit to really differentiate btw characters but stick with it.

Profile Avatar Blondelle O\\\'Garro Apr 2024

This book was a VIP reward. I have mixed feelings about it. The story was ok but the characters sounded decades older than they were which took away from the story I think. Overall, not a bad listen.

Profile Avatar Louise McCartney Jan 2023

This is one of my favourite stand alone titles from the author. So enjoyable, and all the characters are well thought out

I listened to this book whilst going about my day and found it easy to follow.

Profile Avatar Gail C. Nov 2022

The plot is thin. I kept waiting for more to happen but it didn't.

Profile Avatar Karen B. Oct 2022

The story was so good. Felt like I knew each character. The narrator made each character come to life. Really, really enjoyed the whole experience.

Profile Avatar Kenneth D. Aug 2022

This was from the VIP list and it was an okay read. It was a little bit like a lifetime television show. Things generally worked out in the end for all of the characters. Narration was adequate for the female voices.

Profile Avatar Carrie K. Aug 2022

I loved this book. The narrator had different voices for each character, all of whom were developed well as the story unfolded. Believable characters and plot. Recommend!

Profile Avatar Rebecca C. Jul 2022

very good listen. this story had many emotions it had action nd adventure it had shocks. it focused on taking views as society sees things and that made it interesting. I recommend this story.

Profile Avatar Linda F Jul 2022

Love Robyn Carr’s stories. I had read this one years ago but it was nice to revisit these ladies. I especially enjoyed this narrator’s vocal acting chops, particularly with Ellie’s deep voice, from years of smoking, Beth’s shy, innocent ways, and Gabby’s southern mama, reminiscent of genteel Atlanta and shades of Miss Scarlet O’Hara in her later years. You could just picture these women by how she spoke! She did a great job with all the characters.

I selected this book from the free book list given to me as a member. I had never heard of it but enjoyed it so much.

Profile Avatar Patricia D. Jul 2022

I did like the story line of this book…just not a fan of some of the language that was used. Clean some of that up and it would bump up another star .

Profile Avatar Doris B. Jul 2022

Great listen - interesting women personalities - the power of friendship ...definitely engaging.

Profile Avatar Kate P. Jul 2022

Profile Avatar Anonymous Jun 2022

I really enjoyed the plot. I just wished that the author didn't feel it was necessary to include expletives.

Profile Avatar JK Jun 2022

Loved this book! The story is something any woman could relate to and the ending was satisfying. This was my first Robyn Carr's book and surely won't be the last. I'm looking forward to listening to more of her books. What a delightful and heartwarming story!

Profile Avatar Tali B. Jun 2022

enjoyable plot. quite predictable. still a nice read. love the narrator

Profile Avatar Carol B. Jun 2022

Tearfully I just listened to the end. Happy tears. Wonderfully written, beautifully read, the story of four women and a fifth added, who come together after their good friend dies. Amazing how a death can trigger so much change. Be such a catalyst in opening up. A wonderful story of true friendship, of opening up and becoming. I enjoyed every listening minute.

Profile Avatar Patty I Jun 2022

Wonderful story! At first I was concerned I may not really like it because of the story description, but I loved it! Narration was excellent! Every voice was different. you knew who was talking because she changed with each person. I love Robyn Carr books!

It provided insight into women and their feelings and interactions with men. I loved it. Highly entertaining. I appreciated that addiction and/or severe personality issues were not depicted lightly. The reader was admirable in her skill.
