Nora Stephens' life is books—she’s read them all—and she is not that type of heroine. Not the plucky one, not the laidback dream girl, and especially not the sweetheart. In fact, the only people Nora is a heroine for are her clients, for whom she lands enormous deals as a cutthroat literary agent, and her beloved little sister Libby. Which is why she agrees to go to Sunshine Falls, North Carolina, for the month of August when Libby begs her for a sisters’ trip away.

Nothing too surprising but a good story and well read. It’s borderline cheesy but not so much I couldn’t stay interested. Cute characters and while a somewhat predictable end, good “read” and entertaining.

Dannie Kohan lives her life by the numbers. She is nothing like her lifelong best friend - the wild, whimsical, believes-in-fate Bella. Her meticulous planning seems to have paid off after she nails the most important job interview of her career and accepts her boyfriend’s marriage proposal in one fell swoop, falling asleep completely content. But when she awakens, she’s suddenly in a different apartment, with a different ring on her finger, and beside a very different man.

A great listen and fantastic narration. A bit of a heartstring pull and a bit of a drawn out story, but all wrapped up into a great journey

This is a story you doubt isn’t true. The names, the experiences, the sad and happy all sound so really you’re tempted to Google the names! Well done and very much worth the credit!

Good story, well told, but TJR’s later stories are definitely better. Her writing gets better as the books are released.

Tough subject some won’t fully grasp
Reviewed: 03-04-22
I have multiple people and family members in my circle who have struggled with addiction. Some once, some many times. Either way, it’s a lifelong battle and so few are successful in overcoming relapse. This book helped me have insight to their journey and how I can process and forgive. All that said, it’s a good story too. Sadly, it’s true but I appreciate the honesty of the author.

Nothing too special or bad about this book. Narration is good, story is a bit slow but a good book version of a “chick flick”. Glad it was free.

Not what I expected, loved it
Reviewed: 09-18-21
I thought this was going to be more of a self reflection book but it is a story easy to get lost in. Starts a little slow but I quickly became engrossed in April’s story and felt her angst. Beautiful story that inevitably has a happy ending but that was the most rushed part of the book. The entire story slowly winds around a brief period of her life with raw details and emotions. Great book to get lost in.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 1,047
What does “Give them Lala” mean? It means giving the truest, most honest version of yourself to the world. It means being authentic, bold, adventurous, and having an unapologetic approach to life. Hollywood is where Lauren Burningham, aspiring actress from Utah, fully embraced her alter-ego Lala Kent, entrepreneur, entertainer, and film and television star. Some say she’s rude; Lala says she claps back. Some say she’s too bold; Lala knows she’s reality TV gold. Truth is, without giving them Lala, Lauren could never have become the woman she is today.

You watch her on reality TV and you love or hate her. I love her, I always have and always knew there was more to her. You’re not going to be inspired by true imagination with this book but you get a raw and deep look into the journey of a now well know celebrity. The pain and truth touches you no matter your story.

In The Girl with the Lower Back Tattoo, Amy mines her past for stories about her teenage years, her family, relationships, and sex and shares the experiences that have shaped who she is - a woman with the courage to bare her soul to stand up for what she believes in, all while making us laugh. Down to earth and relatable, frank and unapologetic, Amy Schumer is one of us: She relies on her sister for advice, still hangs out with her high school pals, and continues to navigate the ever-changing boundaries in love, work, and life.

Elton John is honest and raw. I loved getting to learn more about his journey. He reads the epilogue which is a perfect way to end the book.
