Enjoyable story. Narration felt a bit labored.

Overall, the storyline was a fun one. I enjoyed talking through some points with my 21-YO daughter who still lives in the SoCal area. The dialogue was a bit corny at times, but nothing out of the norm for the genre. The author did give herself away as a native New Yorker by mentioning “cold cuts” (which I got a good chuckle out of—it’s one of my “tells” too). Overall, I found it to be an enjoyable read, but struggled a bit with the narration. It felt a little too slow and labored.

I almost stopped listening after the first couple of minutes because I thought it would be too Sci-fi for me (that’s not a genre that tends to interest me). I’m so glad I didn’t quit! This story touched on so many important topics (the impact of Alzheimer’s on families, the impact of homophobia and conspiracy theories…) It was a truly powerful story and the narration was wonderful.

I’ve seen some frustrated complaints that a cover with a dog on the front signals that the dog will more front and center in the story. I find that many cozies with pets written into the storyline feel forced. The “amount” of dog presence in the story felt natural and fitting. And overall, I felt the story was very well written. I wasn’t thrilled with the love interest (he seemed a bit too condescending), but overall, character development and setting were solid. The plot was well supported and engaging. Well done. Narration was also a pleasure to listen to.

I will be writing a review for the Kindle edition as well, since I toggled, but wanted to make sure to also share accolades for the narration of this book. The fact that it doesn’t already have thousands of 5 star reviews is beyond me. As both a parent and educator, I hope for nothing more than to see this book get the attention it deserves!
