For coincidence rejectors, trauma healer, and long-lost love seeker— please get yourself right and have a seat together right now! I found this book available on my libby account and decided to borrow one due to its lovely cover.. yes, that’s simple. I never heard about the writer but I might say this one short: delightful. 

The book is about Swanee, a successful actress who suddenly needed to lose her dream career and turned into an audiobook reader. In the story, you would meet many characters who eventually came into her life from time to time and unintentionally be the guide of her way to overcoming her trauma and still stand on her ground until reach state of acceptance. 

Thank You For Listening is a book you might keep closely to your heart of how this remind you of classic childhood actress who suddenly disappeared from media, but you still heard about her in the core— how it went until realized that is how life works and human put faith on it as well. It’s a basic self-development in the form of sweet and delightful slice of love. 

“Feelings are temporary. They stick around as long as you believe in them and then they’re gone, waiting to be believed in again. If they were permanent, then we’d only have to say I love you once and be done with it for the rest of our lives.”
