Acerca de esta escucha
Suspenseful and cinematic, New York Times best-seller Bittersweet exposes the Gothic underbelly of an idyllic world of privilege and an outsider’s hunger to belong.
On scholarship at a prestigious East Coast college, ordinary Mabel Dagmar is surprised to befriend her roommate, the beautiful, wild, blue-blooded Genevra Winslow. Ev invites Mabel to spend the summer at Bittersweet, her cottage on the Vermont estate where her family has been holding court for more than a century. Mabel falls in love with midnight skinny-dipping, the wet dog smell that lingers near the yachts, and the moneyed laughter that carries across the still lake while fireworks burst overhead. Before she knows it, she has everything she’s ever wanted: friendship, a boyfriend, access to wealth, and, most of all, for the first time in her life, the sense that she belongs.
But as Mabel becomes an insider, a terrible discovery leads to shocking violence and reveals what the Winslows may have done to keep their power intact - and what they might do to anyone who threatens them. Mabel must choose: either expose the ugliness surrounding her and face expulsion from paradise, or keep the family’s dark secrets and make Ev's world her own.

Historia
Merritt Coletto and her husband, Luca, have the life they dreamed of: a coastal home, a promising future, and a growing family. That dream ends with a late-night knock on the door. Weak, broken, and emaciated, it’s Luca’s first wife, Lydia. Missing for ten years, presumed dead, and very much alive, she has quite a story. Racked with guilt over the beautiful life they’ve built, Merritt and Luca agree to help get Lydia back on her feet - it’s the least they can do. But the more enmeshed Lydia becomes in Merritt’s family, the more questions Merritt has.

As children, Sam and Elli were two halves of a perfect whole: gorgeous identical twins whose parents sometimes couldn’t even tell them apart. They fell asleep to the sound of each other’s breath at night, holding hands in the dark. And once Hollywood discovered them, they became B-list child TV stars, often inhabiting the same role. But as adults, their lives have splintered. After leaving acting, Elli reinvented herself as the perfect homemaker: married to a real estate lawyer, living in a house just blocks from the beach.

But the little girl’s pretty yellow dress can’t quite hide the ugly scar on her chest. Her latest customer, a bearded stranger, drains his cup and heads to his car, his mind on a boat he's restoring at a nearby lake. The stranger understands more about the scar than he wants to admit. And the beat-up bread truck careening around the corner with its radio blaring is about to change the trajectory of both their lives.

Historia
Roshar is a world of stone and storms. Uncanny tempests of incredible power sweep across the rocky terrain so frequently that they have shaped ecology and civilization alike. Animals hide in shells, trees pull in branches, and grass retracts into the soilless ground. Cities are built only where the topography offers shelter. It has been centuries since the fall of the 10 consecrated orders known as the Knights Radiant, but their Shardblades and Shardplate remain: mystical swords and suits of armor.

There are some odd things about Nate’s new apartment. Of course, he has other things on his mind. He hates his job. He has no money in the bank. No girlfriend. No plans for the future. So while his new home isn’t perfect, it’s livable. The rent is low, the property managers are friendly, and the odd little mysteries don’t nag at him too much. At least, not until he meets Mandy, his neighbor across the hall, and notices something unusual about her apartment. And Xela’s apartment. And Tim’s. And Veek’s.

Historia
Award-winning poet Marisa de los Santos crafts an irresistibly touching debut novel. Love Walked In is a contemporary tale, steeped in nostalgic, cinematic charm, of love in all its forms. Unapologetically idealistic about love, Cornelia Brown appears to catch the break of a lifetime when the dashing Martin Grace, her own personal Cary Grant, comes strolling into her life. But it is Martin's connection to 11-year-old Clare Hobbes that touches Cornelia's heart in ways she never imagined.

Worst narration ever!
I tried three times to listen to this book, but gave up and will read it in print instead. This narrator is so bad , she grates on every last nerve. She reads dialogue like every sentence is a pleading whine, and the last word is ground to a gravelly end or hard long consonant. I can't get into the story because her reading is so distracting.

Complex
College freshman Mabel Dagmar, from a working class family, plain and slightly overweight is enthralled by her wealth, beautiful roommate Ev Winslow. When Ev invites Mabel to her summer home, Mabel quickly falls in love with the Winslow extended family and the lifestyle they enjoy. She longs to be part of the family, even as she learns secrets. Small secrets. Big secrets. Life altering secrets. Secrets that go back generations and threaten the present clan. Mabel learns that some secrets carry a heavy price, maybe even a deadly one.
BITTERSWEET grabbed me from page one with Mabel's almost lyrical narration. The characters in this novel are, for the most part, deceitful, selfish and unlikable, nobody is exactly who they initially seem to be. Still, I rooted for Mabel, Ev, and Ev's younger sister Lu, who may just be the only completely sympathetic redeeming character. Despite Mabel's shortcomings, she is a multidimensional character, with more positive than negative traits. The plot was well fleshed out and complicated, however with 4-5 generations of names of both alive and dead Winslows, I couldn't keep most of the names straight. A family tree would have been extremely helpful. At 400 pages, BITTERSWEET is at times laden with too much description slowing down the pace. Once I hit the last third of the book revelations came fast and furious, some I saw coming, others I did not building to an ending I found chilling, satisfying, and surprising.
If you like mysterious (though not mystery) women's, young adult or new adult fiction, BITTERSWEET is a book you want to to grab up while the ebook is on sale for $1.99. Even if you miss the sake, this is a book worth paying full price.

Outstanding narrator!
Any additional comments?
I enjoyed everything about this book-could NOT put it down during the last 4-5 hours.
That being said, what was especially outstanding was Cassandra Campbell's narration. She took an excellent book and made it really superlative with the reading! Perfect summer read. It even takes place at a "camp" by the lake

A good summer read but a little too long
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
At first it was kinda hard to want to keep listening because the beginning was dull and never actually got to the point until around the 5th hour, and I couldnt put it down since then.
Any additional comments?
The story was a little cliche I suppose but its definitely a good summer read except that its a little/way too long, there was too much description about pretty much everything.

One of my favorite books!
Would you consider the audio edition of Bittersweet to be better than the print version?
I think the audible reading would be better. The reader's interpretation of each character's voice is wonderful! It really brought the story to life.
Who was your favorite character and why?
I really loved Mabel. She was realistic. I rooted for her all the way.
Which scene was your favorite?
I love the final scene. It was a worthy finish.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Shockingly, I really kept wanting to keep reading! I got sucked in and intrigued. I couldn't wait to find out what happened next.
Any additional comments?
I really love this book! It's not my usual go-to type, but I love it! Full of suspense, but still realistic.
