Reseñas de la Crítica

"An engrossing and sweet story of friendship, family, and the infinite power of first love." (Renée Carlino, USA Today best-selling author)

Missed connection and useless details

The story kind of seemed choppy with a lot of details that had no real importance to the story. There was not enough preference to who Gabe and Jess were as characters and what forged their bond. I think that some of those details were there to make a connection to who the characters are but the story didn't seem to flow. I wonder if the editing created useless scenes and details that made the book drag instead of building the storyline. I will also say that Gabe came off to me as a sappy lovesick guy where Landon seems to have more depth I think that writer did a better job of character building with him. Which makes me more excited about the second book but than this one. If you are a serial Audible listener (Romance package) like me I would recommend it.

Undecided

85% of the book wasn't about Gabe and jeses love story. it was more about her and Landon friendship... While I get the reason for most of the book being about her finding herself and getting back to Gabe it was really irritating for the majority of the story to be about Landon

best healing book

This was an awesome sory of love, brokenness, enduring love (true love), and healing. It is must read for anybody who wonders what a good relationship and true love looks like.

Great Story

The story was amazing and inspiring but the editing was a bit off in parts.

"Infragilis"

Beautiful story and awesome narration!
First off I want to say that I am disappointed with the bad reviews I saw on this. DON'T listen to those. It's like they didn't hear the story.
Wonderful characters in this story! A tragic occurrence happens and I can empathize with the heroine and her choice. Can't wait to read next in series!

emotionally wonderful!!

Unbreakable is the first book by Rebecca Shea that I have read...well, listened to. It was amazing! Jess and Gabe had the perfect relstionship until the something absolutely horrible happened. How does one come back from that unscathed?? All I can say is WOW!!! AMAZING!!! The narration for this audiobook was amazing as well Amy Landon and Zach Villa made a great team!!

Can't decide if I want to use a credit on book 2

What made the experience of listening to Unbreakable the most enjoyable?

The true nature of a woman's response to a traumatic event

What other book might you compare Unbreakable to and why?

Unsure

What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?

Jessica was a bit stressed out consistently which leaves the various emotions a bit flat in delivery by the narrator

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

More sadness in this one than any real joy

Any additional comments?

I enjoyed the book but struggling on whether to use a credit on the 2nd book in this series and not sure entirely why. .maybe Narain, maybe lack of enough passionate scenes lol

Young love

Though I enjoyed listening to this story (great narrative), I would not recommend it for a Senior, like me. Although, I teared up in a few scenes.

I would recommend this for a twenty-something female who may have been assaulted or for any young woman who likes to run alone in the park.

I do not plan on finishing the trilogy. Can’t wait to re-enter my world of historic fiction or the classics.

Thought Provoking

What did you love best about Unbreakable?

The depth of feelings that Gabe has for Jess. It was deep, sincere and true. Hard to get that from a young man these days.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Unbreakable?

Gabe's reaction to Jess forgetting to take her birth control pills. Cool, calm and collected. He was non judgmental.

What about Amy Landon and Zach Villa ’s performance did you like?

I love both performances.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes.

Any additional comments?

I don't like the fact that Jess took up with another man when she got to N Carolina. What was that?

Such a good read!

I loved the narrators for this book and I ADORED Gabe and Jessica! I was lost in their journey and my heart ached for them. Their love was palpable through Rebecca’s words and I wanted to wallow in their story! Great read and I highly recommend!
