Poor recording

This book has a good strong storyline and good characters. However it was spoiled by the poor recording. There are a few places that has a loud noise that was unexpected and it was hard to hear the narrator on a few chapters. Christy done a great job with the narration but the recording could of been so much better. Unfortunately this let the whole experience down.

Good Story

I quite liked this story. The storyline and characters were great.

Unfortunately there were many production errors in the narration. There were some loud noises and times I could barely hear what she was saying.

Decent story. Bad narrator.

Storyline had good potential but wasn't as developed as it should have been. Narrator killed it for me. No excitement & it was like she was speed reading the text.

Nice story but not very good narration

The narration on this one seemed rushed and I found it difficult to remain engaged in the story. The narrator was not very emotive and it really felt like someone just reading the words aloud. It also didn't help that two of the characters were Macy and Maisy which sound almost identical when spoken.

I am not into romance, but…

Like most books this book can also be put into more than one genre. It has mothers who abandon their children coming back boyfriend that shouldn’t come back trying to come back robbers it has it all. I really enjoyed this book. When I first started reading LGBT (I think that it’s the initials!) I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to identify with the characters, but I should have known better. Who can identify with wanting to be loved and excepted by those we feel closest to or want to be close to. The emotions we feel or a part of the human condition so anyone who loves love will love this book. I don’t even like romance stories and I loved it!

Tragic and heartwarming

This is a story of friendship, responsibility, love, integrity, spirituality, and above all compassion. The journey that Macy and Mazy have and the people involved with them are amazing and realistic. This is such a real book that it was a gift to listen to. Christy Sassmen's narration is soothing and at times comforting which is a common theme in this story. This is a good afternoon listen.

Life is a lemond and I want money back

There is some ways to not have the bad luck of getting what you want. In this scary tale of having your love and kids you were given in life tribulations. Love wins in the end.

Could Not finish

This book had a great story line. Would love to see where the characters went with it. The narration was so bad, I could not listen to it. It was awful. I threw away 4 dollars.
