- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5One of the best books I have ever had the pleasure to listen to. Interesting to the very end. Has all the feels. Makes you laugh and cry. This is a must read!!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/55 hearts instead of stars! A story with humor and sorrow, well meaning, but flawed characters, and a premise that says that a good life is all about human connection.
