I'm going to be honest - I nearly abandoned this book several times in third of the book. It's not that it wasn't good. Rather, there were a couple of topics in the book that had me wanting to run the other way. They were too close to home and I didn't know if I was emotionally capable of processing this book. I'm glad I kept on listening to it.
The first words that come to my mind to describe this book are unexpected, clever, and weird. I unexpectedly really liked the story, even though it was very weird and had some potentially hazardous triggers for me. The book was so clever and so interesting that I couldn't stop playing it. I needed to know how the story would play out. I needed to know that Phoebe would be ok in the end.
This book was about the complications and nuance of relationships. It was a character-driven novel with some very awesomely weird characters. Alison Espach got very creative with the characters and how it all came together in the end.

From difficult conIn this nonfiction book, attorney and communications coach Jefferson Fisher provides tips on how to improve your next conversation. From difficult conversations, resolving conflict, and setting boundaries, Fisher provides advice on how to navigate communication in an effective way.
I decided to pick this book up because of my work on my union's negotiations team. This year's negotiations have been frustrating to say the least and I have been letting my emotions come to the surface in some of the conversations with the other side. I found the tips in this book easy to remember and practical. A lot of what Fisher says in this book is not rocket science - they are things that many of us already know. What's helpful about this book for me is to have a protocol for approaching conversations and a toolbox of strategies that are easy to implement.
I took lots of notes on my phone as I listened to this book and I plan to review the notes before going into each negotiations session. I hope that it helps me speak with control, because the universe knows I need it when dealing with the management side!...more

This book was enjoyable, but it was I will pick up any romance set in Scotland. Any chance to find another Jamie Fraser love interest, I will take it!
This book was enjoyable, but it was just ok for me. There wasn't anything in particular that I didn't like, it just was a basic romance. There wasn't anything special about it.
I wish the female narrator's Scottish accent was better.

I have mixed feelings on this book. The first half was underwhelming. I think it was because I wasn’t really feeling the connection between Nina and RI have mixed feelings on this book. The first half was underwhelming. I think it was because I wasn’t really feeling the connection between Nina and Russell for that first half. She was dating other people and I felt that tempered the connection between the two of them a bit.
The second half was more interesting and enjoyable, and more my vibe when it comes to romances.
The sex scenes in this book are sizzling! A++++ for those steamy scenes!
Wesleigh Siobhan is one of my favorite narrators and she did a great job with this one!
