I am just spit-balling here, but I think this should come with a trigger warning As this book deals with some pretty heavy topics. Albeit in a phenomenally humorous way, it still deals with mental health, severe mental health and the under insured. It also touches on fertility issues. It deals with a cheating spouse, a widow and child. The book itself is wonderfully written, the narrator was a little flat at times and I almost didn't finish the book. The story line got better and there were times where the narrator seemed to actually believe in what she was reading and not just reading words from a page as if she was reading a chart of numbers. The writer takes you a long through a journey of one woman's struggles to find herself after the dissolution of her marriage. The story could be anyone, your best friend, your sister, your mother, your aunt or maybe even you. There's enough humor thrown in to keep it real, but, I heard myself in her monologue at times. So I give the book 5 stars but the narrator I gave 4. I would have given 3.5 if that was an option.

This book is like a coming of age story for a 40-ish year old woman. It covers deep, difficult topics like depression, infidelity, suicidal thoughts, and death. But there's also humor and hope. Friendships are built and the meaning of happiness is explored. The characters are full and rich, and I was not ready for the story to end when I came to the last page. Although the ending is predictable (and to be honest, exactly what I was hoping for), I couldn't remove even a fraction of a star. The way the humor and conversational banter balance the seriousness of the topics is brilliant.

This is a well written book. The themes are deep, but the characters bring a lightness to it all. I liked the narrator and thought she did a good job portraying the characters.

Cute story, great characters. I really enjoyed this audiobook and the narrator made it even better.

I completed this book as I wanted to know the ending . Subject and writing were poor.

I honestly DNF

This book came to life!

Very good! Worth your time!

Filthy language and course sexual content degrading to both men and women was an unnecessary component of this book. How many ways can the F-word be used in one narrative? I had to read it for book club so … Despite the smut, it was a thoughtful story of resilience, showcasing the value of life. It’s books like this that make me wish there was a rating system for books like there are for movies. Ugh!

Liked it

It captured my interest and I devoured it.

Great summer read!

Don’t see what the hype of this book is about.

I enjoyed the story of a woman going through a rough transition of being ready to give up, to discovering her true self, after heartbreak and divorce. The pace was good and the narrator did a good job. It felt like people watching at events.

Great book, narrator was great as well!! Really enjoyed the book and the heartfelt woman empowerment along the way!

I loved this book so much!!! Beautiful and relatable characters.

I want to read every single thing this author writes. Like I think I’d love her grocery lists I loved this writing so much. And narrator was amazing too! I will probably relisten to this multiple times

Narrator did a great job.

The story was funny at times. It was an ok read. The end exert was totally unnecessary. The exert was why I rated it a 3

We read this for our book club and thoroughly enjoyed it. The narration was well done, and the story was emotional in every way. The characters are real and the situations relatable. Excellent and enjoyable book!

This book was such a disappointment—a complete waste of a credit. It was painfully boring and failed to hold my attention at all.

This is a very good book, great narration.

It was good. I was hoping for a little more from the ending..

This book was not at all what I expected it to be but I did absolutely love it. It was a great change from what I had been reading. One of the better books I have read in 2025.

This book had controversial reviews. It seemed that people either loved it or absolutely hated it! I’m not sure what I would have thought about it had I actually read the book and not listened to it. The narrator was incredible! I actually really enjoyed this book and don’t think that people Should be swayed by the DNF comments. I think everybody should give it a try and see what they think. Maybe it’s just that a different time in your life that things hit differently.

Somewhat prdectable but enjoyable

Loved!

It was really good. I wasn’t happy with the ending, but it was a page turner

Sad and funny at the same time, this was a quick read with well thought out characters and plot.

Slow start and pretty dark, but got more interesting. Somewhat predictable but a good summer read.

Good listen. Loved the characters, would be a good movie.

Perfectly done -

Summer read

Loved this book

⸻ A fantastic story with real emotional depth. The narrator brought each character to life in such a fun and realistic way—I could picture every person vividly as I listened, which made the story even more engaging. It was filled with genuine heartbreak and a satisfying resolution, reflecting shadows of my own life in a way that felt deeply personal. This made the book even more meaningful for me. It’s one of those stories that stays with you long after the final chapter. Highly recommend!

Enjoyed the story and the characters as they dealt with some issues that were true and made you feel and think. Narrator did a great job of bringing each character to life and showing their own personality.

Great plot with some dark areas. Overall enjoyed.

Dealt with some heavy subjects but still had some laugh out loud moments

Ot was cute fairly predictable but I still enjoyed it

So enjoyable- made me laugh out loud and few times in very unexpected ways. the narration was beautiful.

I loved this book and I miss them now that they are gone.

Absolutely LOVED it. It’s one of my favorite books I’ve ready it awhile! Though my comfort reads are normally romcom/feel good books, I absolutely loved the depth of the storylines. It was so much more than just another love story. Honestly, I would call the love story a secondary plot. [potential spoiler removed] Loved, loved, loved it.

Just ok. Very long

It was fine, very predictable.

The beginning was a little dark, but the story was amazing and unfolded quickly to hopeful and fun.

this was a book that I didn't think I would like but I really enjoyed it. the story line was well thought out and I was sad when it was finished.

The way this was wrote was done so well! I don’t think I’ve ever read a book with this type of writing and I loved it. I loved how the characters were written. I feel like I will be thinking of this book for a while.

I really enjoyed this book. Great story and narrator. I only listen when driving and couldn’t wait to get in my car to continue listening

LOVED IT ALL!!! Such a refreshing, fantastic book!

One of the best books I’ve read in a long time- the narrator did a great job as well

I really enjoyed this book and how each and every character came to life. The narrator did a superb job of giving each character so different yet you couldn’t help but enjoy the personalities. I difficult and triggering topic for some, it was more about the unique characters and their impacts on one another’s lives. Serious topic yet a light and funny wonderful read.

I absolutely loved this book! I was sorry when it ended.

A great summer fun read!
