Resumen del Editor

The number-one New York Times best-selling author of Big Summer masterfully combines Stephen King with Donna Tartt, plus a twist of Shirley Jackson, in this timely tale of a man, his new partner, and his old dog.

When he was a boy, it was just him and his mother, and when he was an adult, it was just him, alone. Michael Corcoran thought it would always be that way.

Then he’d met Tina, who didn’t know that he’d never had friends, or what kinds of “experiments” he liked to do in his lab in the garage as a boy. Instead of being alone, Michael had a wife, and children, and eventually, a dog.

Michael had promised himself he wasn’t going to be one of those people who pushed their dogs in carriages and called them “fur babies”. “Just wait,” Tina said - and soon enough, Lady was enjoying premium kibble and wearing a tiny Eagles jersey, plus special booties for the snow. He and Tina even developed a voice for Lady, a routine: a low, gruff, cigarettes-and-whiskey tone that went with the tragic backstory they gave her.

Then Tina found a lump in her breast. And then she was gone. And then small, determined Suzanne Nelson dropped by Michael’s newly empty apartment with some homemade lasagna and never left. The transition would’ve gone smoothly if not for Lady - and the lisping, babyish falsetto Suzanne used when she “talked” as the dog.

Michael asked her to stop. And Suzanne did her best. But some things people can’t change, no matter how they try, like how they sound, and who they love - and who they are, in the wee small hours, when it’s dark and no one’s watching.

terrible ending

this was a good story until the end. could have made it a much better ending..I usually like Jennifer's stories. not this one.

What???

The author absolutely does not understand ’dog people’. Strange story with a horrible ending. Not for me!

Horrible

Don’t bother if because of the title you think this is a happy story about dogs and their people. It’s horrible, and goes beyond what’s needed for a willing suspension of disbelief.

Too Short!

It was only 53 minutes! Not worth the money I spent! This needed to be a collection of short stories to be worth my credit.

Don't listen to this if you love dogs

So terrible. seriously if you are a dog person don't listen to this yuck, totally unbelievable

Wtf did i just listen to

I don’t usually leave a review, but i felt compelled to this time. I have read all of Jennifer Weiner’s books and loved them however this one was such a disappointment and honestly the abrupt ending was disturbing. I was listening to it in my car with my dog and i feel bad for subjecting her to it! Only spent $1.99 but regret even that!

Why!??

i love your book and this was an awesome story.... until the end. I am glad i know her other books or i wouldn't like her and yet this also makes me question why she ended it this way?

Disappointing

I can’t believe I wasted my monthly credit on such a short book. Beware. Story was different than what I’ve read from JW before. I thought it would take a turn and keep going, but when the end came and that was all she wrote, it left me very disappointed.

audio performance hard to listen to and narrator

The narrator's voice was so aggravating I could not get past the 1st chapter.

Don’t - just don’t.

Predicable and disgusting and disappointing… done with this author …. I wish I had read the reviews..
