Story
Separated by 10 years, 3,000 miles, and the unrelenting stresses of adulthood, best friends Janet and Serena plan a 40th birthday girls’ trip to reconnect. But after a massive crash, they’re the only survivors to wash ashore on an uncharted Caribbean Island. Armed with only the clothes on their backs and zero survival skills, they fight to overcome hunger, thirst, deadly wildlife—and most terrifyingly—decades of accrued resentment. Can they find their way home, or will they kill each other first?

Sometimes you need a ridiculous, silly story. This was it! The voice acting was great. The story was hilarious. Would listen to more adventures with these two ladies

England, 1914. The world is at war. Captain Hastings, injured and shaken, is invited to Styles Court to recover.

Simmering tensions are tearing the family apart, and it all comes to a head in the most horrifying way.

Heralded as an instant classic of fantasy literature, Maguire has written a wonderfully imaginative retelling of The Wizard of Oz told from the Wicked Witch's point of view. More than just a fairy tale for adults, Wicked is a meditation on the nature of good and evil.

Alice Comstock has always been a dutiful wife and an attentive mother, a perfectionist presiding over a flawless home. She’s reliably been her family’s center, the caretaker and problem-solver, until an illness requires her children to assume responsibility for their mother.

I listened to this while hanging bathroom fixtures and it kept me very entertained. The story is kinda sad but that may only be me. Definitely worth the read.

She wants to be the favorite - the Belle chosen by the queen of Orleans to live in the royal palace, to tend to the royal family and their court, to be recognized as the most talented Belle in the land.

Honestly the characters annoyed me in the beginning. But I see that was probably intentional because they were immature. It’s got real good. Totally worth it. I can’t wait to read the next book.

New Nigeria is a good, clean, all-American town. The husbands are smiling and handsome, the wives are strong, rich, and powerful, and Nat Turner High is the best public school in the state. Yet, the citizens of this idyllic community find themselves in a rapidly changing country and, to be perfectly honest, some of them are a teeny bit uncomfortable with it all.

I follow Clare Brown on social media. I was excited how her skits translated into a book and I love it. It’s funny and clever and the ending was realistic. I hope she writes more books because I really want to know what happens next!

I didn’t know what to expect especially reading the reviews but I did not expect that ending. Actually two parts of that ending I did not expect. I kinda wish there was a second book or epilogue to know how it really ends. Worth the read.

Story
At last, the definitive audiobook about perhaps the best cabin crew dramedy ever filmed: View from the Top starring Gwyneth Paltrow. In Ayoade on Top, Richard Ayoade, perhaps one of the most 'insubstantial' people of our age, takes us on a journey from Peckham to Paris by way of Nevada and other places we don't care about. It's a journey deep within, in a way that's respectful and non-invasive; a journey for which we will all pay a heavy price, even if you've waited for the smaller paperback edition. Ayoade argues for the canonisation of this brutal masterpiece.
