Liane Moriarty - Here One Moment -- back to top
Narrated by: Caroline Lee, Geraldine Hakewill
Length: 15 hrs and 53 mins
My review of this book started at 3/5 and dropped all the way to 1/5 before coming back to a 4/5. In fact, I started writing my review before finishing it, and it gives some context. A bit of a spoiler is implied:
I generally love Liane Moriarty. She is an expert at making you fall in love with her characters, and she is really good at including little details that make you relate to them. I am constantly stopping to highlight (or note if listening to an audiobook) a passage or anecdote I find particularly meaningful.
In that regard, this book did not disappoint! But I do not recommend this one to others, nor did I enjoy it. It was just upsetting! The plot wasn't intriguing at all. It was just cruel! Sure, there is some interest in self-fulfilling prophecies and how you will behave, but that was secondary. What she did was force you to fall in love with a bunch of doomed characters, and all you did was follow them on their doom.

Fredrik Backman - My Friends -- back to top
By: Fredrik Backman
Translated By: Neil Smith
Narrated by: Marin Ireland
Length: 13 hrs and 22 mins
Release date: 05-06-25
I absolutely enjoyed it. Very reminiscent of Anxious People in its style and prose. Nobody can say "idiot" with so much love and admiration as Fredrik Backman and/or the reading of Marin Ireland. Great reflection on life, friendship, and grief. I thought it was very sweet though occasionally drifted into both cheesy and saccharine. I would recommend it strongly but it missed the 5-stars for me.

★★★★☆:
While I am giving this four stars, I don't think I would recommend it to anyone without careful notice. It was intense!. I didn't know what to expect.
Also, despite the timing between this and the last, I listened to this in a single day.
