Seven Perfect Things

A Novel

De: Catherine Ryan Hyde

Narrado por: Christa Lewis, Ryan Burke, Jess Nahikian

A heart-stirring novel about the joy that comes from finding love in unexpected places by the New York Times and #1 Amazon Charts bestselling author.

Thirteen-year-old Abby Hubble lives in an unhappy home in the Sierra Nevada foothills where her father makes life miserable for her and her mother, Mary. One day Abby witnesses a man dump a litter of puppies into the nearby river. Diving in to rescue all seven, she knows she won’t be able to bring them home. Afraid for their fate at the pound, she takes them to an abandoned cabin, where all she can offer is a promise that she’ll be back the next day.

To grieving widower Elliot Colvin, life has lost meaning. Looking for solace, he retreats to the hunting cabin he last visited years ago, before his wife’s illness. What he discovers is not at all what he expected: seven puppies and one determined girl with an indomitable heart.

As Abby and Elliot’s friendship deepens, Abby imagines how much better her life - and the puppies’ lives - would be if her mother were married to Elliot instead of her father. But when Abby’s father moves the family hundreds of miles away, Abby and her mother must decide how long they’re willing to defer happiness.

Seven Perfect Things is a story about joy, where to find it, how to know it when you see it, and the courage it takes to hang on to it once you have it.

Whenever there is Catherine Ryan Hyde book available I will definitely buy! She writes the most unique stories, very captivating with meaningful truths. Every book is just as good as the last… you can never go wrong!!

So Good!

My cousin and I often recommend books to each other. One thing we always agree with each other about... Catherine Ryan Hyde books. Whene she told me that this was her favorite of all of the books we have read, I thought perhaps she was exaggerating a little bit. Nope! I have to agree with her...this IS the best CRH book ever! The only difference is that she reads them and I listen to them, so I have to add that the narration was stellar. All of the narrators were spot on with their portrayals of the characters that they voiced. I can't really add anything to the synopsis of the book already here, so I won't try
All I want to say is if you want a really good, sweet, clean read with lots of puppies and human interest, don't miss this book! Sooooo good !

A Read to Raise Your Sprits

I enjoyed every word of this. I usually read mysteries, thrillers, and this book was such a welcome reprieve. It was sweet, simple, satisfying and good won over evil in terms of a mean husband and father and emotionally abused wife and child. It does beg for a sequel so that’s what I’ll be looking for next. The narrators were very good as well, as important as the story when I’m listening to an audiobook.

Timely story

Obvious but heartwarmig. Perfect characters, Didn't want to finish. Would like a sequel. Will read more of this author.

Perfectly wonderful listen

A teen girl finds herself taking care of 7 perfect puppies and learns much about life and happiness. Love all of this authors books and this one is another great book!

"My Pupps"

this story is full of love, but it's also sad and could truly happen..
kudos to the story tellers. my only critique, is could have used one more voice to change things up a bit. overall.....WONDERFUL!!

If you need some happiness in your life, read/listen to this book!

What a precious, heartwarming book! I wish I could find more books like this. If you are in need of a pick-me-up and a lot of smiles, read this book. Beautiful story, amazing, character development and precious details throughout entire story. This has a lot of great highlights around grief and happiness and demonstrates no matter how big your loss is, happiness can be right around the corner.

This is by far my favorite book by this author. My only disappointment was how quickly it seems to end. Listened to it in three short days and it was hard to stretch it out that long.

Great listen

It’s 3:30am and I just finished this book. Couldn’t stop listening! Great story - you just need to know what happens.

a story you can feel

a beautiful heartwarming story you can feel. PERFECT PERFECT PERFECT PERFECT PERFECT PERFECT PERFECT!
