I am speechless!!!

I give this book 5 stars on every level, and tell you that you HAVE to listen to this book!

Although it tackles a still controversial subject, Sarah Robinson did such an amazing job telling it, and it’s obvious that she cared deeply for these characters and what they went through. The characters are so real, and their love is tangible and real, and so is their anger and grief. I am a sap, and I freely admit it, but I can’t remember another book that has made me shed so many tears.

The choices made by Tessa in this book.. well, they didn’t and won’t make every person who hears it happy, and that’s ok.. you don’t have to be happy about it. What matters is that Tessa got to make those decisions for herself. No one made them for her, nor did they have the right to do so.

I have already recommended this book to anyone I know who reads or listens, and if you’re reading this, I’m recommending it to you as well. I asking you to listen to this... open your heart and mind, put everything else aside, and listen to Tessa tell you her heart.

Jaime Moore did such a great job narrating this story! Her tone and the way her emotions show, brought Tessa to life for me and made my listening experience better!!

Heartbreaking!

I’ve lost my Mum last year to cancer. She was given 6 months to live and she barely made it to 5 months. Since she was diagnosed I wondered how she felt when she got the news? Was she angry, frightened, not ready to go…what was going through her mind. 😢

Listening to Every Last Drop although it broke my heart and I cried so much thanks to Tessa now I can imagine what my Mum felt. Although I was with her almost every day that I could, I just wish I knew all this before she died so I would know how to be with her, how to behave.

My biggest wish is that the science will find a cure as soon as possible. But until than at least for people that are fighting it to have a choice. 😔

Good narration of an interesting story

Jaime Moore does a really good job bringing these characters and their story to life.

This is a little bit of an odd one for me. Despite the storyline it somehow didn't really hit me in the feels. To say I enjoyed it also feels wrong to say. I appreciated it, I got where it was coming from and where it was going. It kept me interested all the way through and I was kinda sad when it ended.

Heartbreaking and Inspiring!

Tess should be at a point in her life when she should be focused on pursuing her dreams not planning her death. Her attempts to find out why she and her husband Kyle haven’t been able to have a child leads to the devastating news that she has a brain tumor and there is no outcome that will see her being able to beat it.

This is a heartbreaking yet inspiring story of her battle and doing it her way. There are no words to describe the deep and abiding love that she and Kyle shared and how he supported her decisions even if they broke his heart. With the support of him and her family it gave her the strength she needed and in turn she gave them the strength that they needed to do what was right for Tess. This is an emotional story that will have you ugly crying from the beginning, but it is an experience you don’t want to miss.

I received a complimentary copy of the audio book and the narrator did a great job of ensuring the emotion and poignancy of this story is heard as well as felt.

Amazing!

Every Last Drop by Sarah Robinson is a contemporary women’s fiction novel that I listened to on audio narrated by Jaimee Moore.

This was the first book of Sarah’s that I have read and it definitely won’t be my last. This book took me on an emotional journey. I would recommend having a box of tissue next to you while reading this book. Sarah did an amazing job on the writing. It just pulled me in and made me feel like I was part of Tessa’s world. Absolutely amazing!

Jaimee did an amazing job on the narration. I loved that she used different tones/voices for each character it really brought the story to life. I could feel the emotion of the story coming out in each character. I can’t wait to listen to more projects that she has worked on.

Live life to the fullest

I have to say, when I started this book, I was not prepared for the story. I saw Sarah Robinson's name and said, of course I want to listen to it! And then I began the journey of Tessa's life.Tessa was having difficulty getting pregnant and when searching for answers to why was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Now, she is young, so the hope is shrink the tumor and remove it and continue life. But when this is not the case, Tessa makes the preparations to live her life to the fullest for what she has left, and makes some decisions about how she wants to die. It's a story of true love and passion, heartache and frustration and you will need a box of tissues as you listen.Sarah has written this book with style and grace, pulling no punches as to the difficulty of the situation and sugar coats nothing. It's raw, gritty, truthful and so very, very good. I loved and hated every minute of the book, and will find it on top 10 of my listens for the year.

Jaimee Moore just enhances this story with her incredible narration.The story is so emotionally charged and she finds every one and pulls us in. We live, love and grieve right along with each character and she delivers a perfect performance.

Beautifully Tragic

Tessa and her husband decided to take the next step on trying to have a child. They go to a fertility clinic and get tested to see what the problem is and what the steps are to move forward. Instead, Tessa discovers that she has a tumor on her brain. Her life and plans are thrown upside down and she must decide the best course of action from there. I really didn't care for the story. It had a very slow start and I found that Tessa's attitude got a bit under my skin. Because of the diagnosis, I decided to keep reading. I knew that it would get better as the story went on. I knew it would end up being a beautiful story or a beautifully tragic story. I knew there was a chance that it would give me deep thoughts. I was not disappointed there. I really didn't connect with any of the characters at first. I felt that Tessa was way too aggressive. She got angry with the doctors like it was their fault that she was diagnosed and things turned out the way that they did. She broke other people's property like that was okay. I mean I get why, but it was so frustrating. And the people in her life had moments where they were really selfish and didn't really care about the pain she was going through. I'm really not looking forward to bringing this part up. I really enjoyed Jaimee Moore's voice. She's got this naturally narrative voice. She goes from voice to voice with ease. My problem was the hollow sound that seemed to kind of exist in the background of the entire audio. It wasn't horrible, but it was very present. Then there was this feedback at the beginning of many chapters that was a little disturbing. Other than that, the narration was great. This story was beautiful, but sad. It was also very educational. I may not have cared for the story or characters much at the beginning, but I adored both in the end. The biggest thing about this book is that it needs to be read with an open mind. It's full and heavy. It's a very deep topic. I really did enjoy it a lot. Have tissues ready!
