This Is Not How It Ends

De: Rochelle B. Weinstein

Narrado por: Tavia Gilbert

From USA Today bestselling author Rochelle B. Weinstein comes a moving novel of hearts lost and found, and of one woman torn between two love stories.

When Charlotte and Philip meet, the pair form a deep and instant connection. Soon they’re settled in the Florida Keys with plans to marry. But just as they should be getting closer, Charlotte feels Philip slipping away.

Second-guessing their love is something Charlotte never imagined, but with Philip’s excessive absences, she finds herself yearning for more. When she meets Ben, she ignores the pull, but the supportive single dad is there for her in ways she never knew she desired. Soon Charlotte finds herself torn between the love she thought she wanted and the one she knows she needs.

As a hurricane passes through Islamorada, stunning revelations challenge Charlotte’s loyalties and upend her life. Forced to reexamine the choices she’s made, and has yet to make, Charlotte embarks on an emotional journey of friendship, love, and sacrifice - knowing that forgiveness is a gift, and the best-laid plans can change in a heartbeat.

This Is Not How It Ends is a tender, moving story of heartbreak and healing that asks the question: Which takes more courage - holding on or letting go?

Get Out the Tissues

The story is about life, love, and loss. Makes you think about how you want your story to end.

Sweet love story !

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. A love story with twists and turns set with the backdrop of The Florida Keys to add flavor. Phillip loves so completely and has a heart of GOLD with those he cares about. Easy listen, and stirs memories of true love and kindness.

Must listen to!

This was such a deep love story. Must listen to! Full of smiles, tears and love!

Tear jerker

This was such a great book. Had me in tears couldn’t stop listening. Great story

I haven't cried this hard over a book ever!

I haven't cried this hard over a book ever! Great story with loveable characters.

If you love soap operas...

*Spoilers* I almost didn't finish this. The narrator was great and a good match with this particular book.
I enjoyed the book (to a certain point), and was even touched by the story. Unfortunately, the story took a turn down the path of emotional overload including a love triangle that honestly just made me mad (at the main character).
At one point I just wanted to gag.
The ending was predictable and horribly cliched. Of course the main character ended up with the person she cheated with (her fiancees best friend). Sickening.

Predictable.

Nice story but I had it pretty much figured out well before Charlotte had a clue. My biggest problem was the overly dramatic performance of Ms. Gilbert. Way over the top.

New Rochelle Weinstein Fan!

I love every single character SO much. I felt for them deeply the entire book as they celebrated their joys, recognized their flaws, and struggled with sorrow. I think I may have cried on and off through the last 100 pages or so. Throughout the whole book I felt like I was right where they were, mostly warm in the Florida Keys! The narrator was wonderful and transitioned from all of the characters seamlessly. I was never distracted from the story by her performance which makes the experience so enjoyable! Can’t wait to reach more from this author!

Beautiful story, not light reading

It was a lovely story with heaviness in grief and illness. I stuck it out to the end, but it wasn't the light easy listen I was hoping for.

better than expected

first I was lost. but then it all came together. great story. I really felt this book and the performer
