I heard this was a funny mystery full of complex, lovable characters with a heartwarming family.
I heard I would salivate over the many descriptions of food.
I heard that it would be light and fun and that I would laugh out loud.
I heard I would cry and fall in love with the characters.
I lasted a few pages. I think. I couldn't concentrate. I thought it was silly. It was a DNF for me. I am probably the only one who felt this way.

I know that there are so few that I listen to books - maybe I should re-think this. Thank you Jayme! :)

Thank you Rachel. I think everyone has to decide what works best for them with any book, right?! ;)
Karen,
Recently I have come across this book numerous times. I felt compelled to move some things over. So this review has caused me to just go on my merry way and read what I have planned or find compelling after reading a review. Thank you for an frank review.

Thank you so much Cheryl for reading my reviews and sharing how you approach books. I really wanted to like this because there were so many reviews sharing what a great book this was - but, I could not find what they said was there. So, I had to say out loud what I felt. So thank you for this... I appreciate you. :)

I currently have the audiobook on hold with the library. I will reset my expectations before I give it a listen. I hope your next read is a far better experience.

Thank you so much Sting. I hope you have a good experience with the book. We all react different ways based on our perceptions and views at the time we are experiencing the same book! :)

Thank you Carol. That is okay. Not all books are going to please us. There are so many on the pile to attend to anyway! ;)

But Vera is driving me nuts!!!
I have a 60-something Asian mom, too, but she isn't like this.
Maybe it's my mood, too.
