Fantastic read. Shared with me as part of a book exchange and I can see why. It's a quick read and very moving.
Stephen King has a way with creepy stories. I think I read somewhere that Mr. King doesn't necessarily like this book, I beg to differ. It's fun. It's unique and creepy. Loved it.
Really awful. Couldn't tell if it was the narrators or the writing at first. Turns out it might be both. The dialog between a Gen z Influencer and Millennial older sister was just very cringy. About 25% in and just gave up. I could not listen to it. So sad bc I feel like a few of her other books I enjoyed. This was not for me.
What a fun short story. A family of hillbillies win a bundle on a scratcher ticket and then find themselves keeping up with the Jones' over 4th of July fireworks. Short 1 hr listen as an audiobook made my Monday morning a bit more entertaining.
Of course the reading was comical. But on a serious note, way to go Maria for making having a Menty B sound a lot less scary. Finding a way to bring real comedy to serious topics is a true artform. The levity was so needed in the realm of mental health. A lighthearted way to discuss conversations about getting the help and medications needed to lead a long and successful life/career. She describes real fears like the effects of medications on us and our reluctance to take ones in a way that is so real. She also is an advocate for getting help in the way that fits you, whether that's a gazillion groups, books, etc. No holds bared and gut busting as expected. Thank you Maria.
Great story. Off to a fast start, and well paced throughout. Stephen King always has a way of sucking you into the story and making a book the size of a brick go by quickly and without much fluff. Loved it.
