4 Take Care, Sara Stars

I was looking for something different to read, not something that would make me cry but if it did then all the better.

This did not make me cry but this book was chalked full of emotion.

I loved how the author makes you almost feel the woman’s grief. But also the brothers grief as well.

I have read a few reviews where people don’t think this is a love story. But it is.

You have this woman drowning in her grief and the woman’s husband’s brother who not only is hurting too but he helps her live again. Thrive again.

It is heart breaking and emotional and ugly and sweet and swoony. It’s a woman’s journey of lose and strength.

I would recommend this book to someone who wants an emotional book with the romance aspect light on the sex.

I don’t believe I have listened to any of this narrators work before, at first it took some getting used to, it was like she was both characters and a narrator for the story. I actually really liked that.

*You don't have to like my review but its 100% my opinion, and I am allowed to have it.*

An emotional ride of love lost and found again...

I liked this book and felt the feelings and behaviors were spot on. There is no way anyone can imagine what it feels like to lose a mate until it happens and it is crushing. It takes another love to distract us from all the pain. From Cole to Lincoln, I felt the author did a great job on the details. I found this title via a goodreads ugly cry list. It didn't make me cry, but I still found the book good.

The author, Lindy Zart did a good job on this book. I really feel this book can help others who loved and lost too. Letting them know they are not alone and it's ok. The narrator, Kelly Hazen did a great job in her flawless delivery of this book complete with multiple voices and accents. The emotions were spot on too.

Really sweet story

I felt for this woman - its a dark romantic story. 'Torn between two lovers' but with a pretty huge twist. I really felt her pain and how she is pulled apart. I thought Lindy Zart really gave us two great men that anyone would be torn between but again with the twist it becomes even more bittersweet. The opening of hte book is very powerful you understand right away where this woman is at. And the powerful choice Sara makes to get herself together and get her life on track. I found it inspiring. One of those 'pick yourself up by your bootstraps' kind of things. How a person can get stuck and not be able to move their life forward. I think that happens to all of us, maybe not with this kind of impact, but the subtler stuff is almost harder. And I really loved her landlord - really nice to have that amusing relief. Good job to Lindy Zart and the narrator. I felt like I really knew Sara.

Great Read

Take Care, Sara was a great read by Lindy Zart. Sara Walker had her reality ripped away, she lost her husband and can't seem to get over his death. She has lost everything and is struggling to live and find the strength to forgive herself. Her husband's brother, Lincoln, helps her really it's not about finding who she used to be but she must find who she is now. I enjoyed reading this book and can't wait to read more by the author.

Long live Sara

Mourning together while loving the same man. Lincoln is a man determined to help Sara live. There’s pain in Sara’s heart. The pain she feels is for the loss of a promised future that she didn’t get to have.
…
Take Care, Sara is about a widow going through the stages of grief. Her brother-in-law is grieving right alongside Sara. He lost a brother and she lost a husband. Together they share memories of time spent in the life of Cole.
…
Lindy came out punching with the feels. I do love a good emotional read. This one delivers. The wording and delivery of every emotion hits hard. I felt the emotional turmoil of Sara’s pain. Lincoln was my favorite character. The way Lindy Zart wrote him had me wanting one of my own. He brings both humor and pain. Mason Wells is another character worthy of his time on these pages. Everybody needs an individual who can teach and educate others how to work through the pain.
…
I don’t know what was going on in Lindy Zara’s life when she wrote Take Care, Sara to cause this type of inspiration. Most writers tend to write emotional stories when something is happening in their own lives and this is the best way to release it. Lindy Zart took ordinary words and created magic.
…
Shout out goes to Kelley Hazen for that brilliant performance. It was like listening to a duet performance by two separate individuals except it all came from one person. One voice actor brought Lincoln and Sara’s characters to life. The skill set of one narrator having the ability to make a male voice and a female voice sound authentic is true talent. As I listen to the words of Lindy Zart being performed by Kelley Hazen I can’t help but think who caused this pain in Lindy for her to tap into this type of emotional turmoil. The wisdom and advice is spot on.

Harlequin at best. Robot narration

Rather excrutiating. Harlequin-like at best. The general reading/narration was robotic. Sad situation, silly interactions, often over- dramatic. I only finished it because it was a book club pick.
