I listened to this audio and found it quite enjoyable overall. The sound quality was impressive, with a rich depth that made the experience immersive. The balance of tones was particularly well done, capturing both serious moments and lighter, humorous ones perfectly.

However, I did find the pacing to be a bit slow for my taste. There were times when I wished it would pick up the pace to keep the momentum going. Despite this, the content itself was engaging enough to keep me listening until the end, as the slower moments allowed for a deeper appreciation of the material.

If you're looking for an audio experience that blends depth with a good dose of laughter, this one is definitely worth a try. The thoughtful production and enjoyable content make it a solid choice, especially if you don't mind a more leisurely pace.

The Summer of Yes was a sweet, inspirational story of Kelsey and Georgina. Kelsey recently had a near death experience and she meets her hospital roommate, Georgina, who has a challenging chronic disease. Kelsey decides to take time off of work and trick Georgina into a summer of yes They take chances, do things they wouldn’t normally do and ultimately try to determine what matters make in the world.

The story started slow for me and as a medical professional, I did not feel Georgina’s disease was portrayed accurately. The story was predictable, but I enjoyed Kelsey’s character.

I read this book and listened to the audio. I really liked the dual narrators and felt it added to the story.

A complementary copy was provided by publisher and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. all opinions are my own.

“We all need someone to believe in us”

This book was a breath of fresh air. Courtney Walsh is something special. She wrote this fabulous book about fears and life and mortality. About love and friendships and forgiveness. About it never being too late to change your life.

This book was exactly what I needed to challenge my own mindset and to take me on a wonderful journey.

You can expect ⬇️
Dual perspectives
Some Romance (the sweet kind)
Disrupters (the good kind)
Never too Late
Unlikely Friendships

When overcrowding lands Kelsey and Georgina in the same hospital room… a friendship does not form. However, there is a bond. Kelsey is a bit like a dog with a bone in how she peruses Georgina (her idol) and how she desperately wants to change both of their lives.

It was wonderful. I enjoyed this audiobook so much.

Thank you Harper Collins for the #gifted ALC to read and review

This is the first time I’ve read a book by Courtney Walsh and though it was slow paced in the beginning, but did pick up, I will be adding Courtney Walsh books to my reading list, Its a really cute book, a nice reminder that life is short so make it sweet
