Beautiful story of love, grief and triumph. I loved the story, characters and narration. The story was pretty heavy (sad) for awhile but that made the rest even better.

Review from That Night →
Seventeen years ago Toni and her boyfriend were convicted of the murder of her younger sister Nicole. Now on parole and forbidden to contact each other, they want to find the real killers. THAT NIGHT is thriller writer Chevy Stevens’ latest masterpiece. Alternating chapters between the present and past, Toni’s narration grows from rebellious, self-centered..
I am so torn by this story…on the one hand it’s a sad account regarding children with horrendous hot mess parents and how they have little they can trust in the world so they ultimately cling to a single entity with unconditional love…on the other hand its a story of a man who felt love..
Fun

Good story, great performance. Glad I got it. Would make a good movie. Will look for more by author and narrator.
I read a lot of reviewers that thought this book was disgusting but honestly it was really well written. A raw, beautiful look at real life and the fact that it’s not cookie cutter and there are some ugly things. The characters were well developed and the emotions were real. I couldn’t stop listening to..
Turn your volume way up!
Review from As Bright as Heaven →
Great story, but the narrators whisper most of the time. it’s a little painful reminiscent of our own pandemic.
The epilogue was most informative. The narrator was good. I found the stories not easy to follow. maybe I am weary under the weight of my grief. I may have enjoyed it more if that was not this stage of grief. My husband and spiritual partner of 51 years has been on the other side..
This coming of age romance has moments where you’ll wonder if reading makes you complicit in the “love” story between a child and a man. It was awkward to read at times but what I enjoyed was how authentic the story was. Wavy was so likable even though her rough upbringing. Kellen was a saving..
omg!!!

this book was about the truth that happens in the world. it is very well written and I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. I would recommend this book but it’s not for the weak at heart or the up turned nose crowd. it’s about life the food bad and the..
loved it!!
Review from Salt to the Sea →
I took off a star from the performance because the reader of Johanna sounded like she had a cold throughout the book, which distracted from the character.In all, a great book with a different perspective on the waning days of WW2, revealing an event that has been neglected in our history books.Highly recommended!
