Life's Too Short

By: Abby Jimenez

Narrated by: Christine Lakin, Zachary Webber

THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

"A hilarious, tender, and altogether life-affirming gem of a book."—Emily Henry, bestselling author of Beach Read

A brilliant and touching romantic comedy about two polar opposites, one adorable dog, and living every day to its fullest.

When Vanessa Price quit her job to pursue her dream of traveling the globe, she wasn't expecting to gain millions of YouTube followers who shared her joy of seizing every moment. For her, living each day to its fullest isn't just a motto. Her mother and sister never saw the age of 30, and Vanessa doesn't want to take anything for granted.

But after her half sister suddenly leaves Vanessa in custody of her baby daughter, life goes from "daily adventure" to "next-level bad" (now with bonus baby vomit in hair). The last person Vanessa expects to show up offering help is the hot lawyer next door, Adrian Copeland. After all, she barely knows him. No one warned her that he was the Secret Baby Tamer or that she'd be spending a whole lot of time with him and his geriatric Chihuahua.

Now she's feeling things she's vowed not to feel. Because the only thing worse than falling for Adrian is finding a little hope for a future she may never see.

Life's too short

I loved this book.. The narrators. are excellent.. Thank you Abby Jimenez for the best story II have listened to this summer. Can't wait for your next book!

Real

it's been so long since I heard a good book. Not your typical picture perfect romance but one of the greatest love stories.

Wonderful book

My husband and I both loved the comedy and drama of this great story. The characters and readers kept us listening as the facts of ALS were revealed. We both would recommend this book.

Perfect!

I love Abby Jimenez books! And this book was no exception. I like that she can tell the best love story without including graphic sex scenes. Just a beautiful story that takes you on a rollercoaster of emotions and leaves you a little bit in love with every character!

Can’t wait for the movie

Great story and fabulous performance. When’s the movie coming out? Can’t wait for it. Life’s too short.

Great Story!

I laughed, Cried, all the emotions. I love the hero and Heroin, love their love story, but the main thing is that this book made me think about my own life, am I living my life at its fullest.

Another good story by Abby

this is a good extension of her other 2 books. I listened to the entire book in about a day and a half.

poop the size of a tootsie roll!

I love this story and characters. I wish their were more writers out there that took the time to understand and imagine what it might be like to live with a progressive debilitating disease.

I really liked this book

I bought it on a whim as a daily deal. I didn't even read the whole summary. I saw that it had good reviews so I bought it. It was very enduring. the characters were relatable. I was pleased surprised with this purchase.

best in the series!

I've read all three of Jimenez's books and this one tops the trio. book two was a slight decline for me but this one is pure joy from start to finish. narrators are fantastic. both of them.
