Such An Emotional Journey!

Tessa’s journey is heartbreaking, but beautifully written. This is more women’s fiction, I think?

Tessa and her husband, Kyle, are on what they hope is their journey to parenthood. What they get is a cancer diagnosis. This is Tessa’s journey and it is raw and emotional.

Jaimee Moore did a great job with narrating. There are some weird sounds and long pauses and the end/beginning of the chapters.

Speechless

It’s taken me a few days to write a review as My emotions are still so raw.

This is a wonderfully written story of a hound woman’s terminal battle with cancer

I so wanted a happy ending even though I knew there wouldn’t be one.

Tessa is so strong as she faces death head on

I cried so hard for Tessa but also for her husband father sister and poor Beast!

This story is worth the heartbreak you will face at the end

The narrator did a great job but the sound was off so even I could not rate 5 stars. There were times between chapters were the sound would almost screech which was distracting when I was completely engrossed in the story. If the sound gets fixed I’d rated it ten stars

Shattering Story!

Tessa's story isn’t a romance, but there is definitely a lot of love in this story. This is a woman’s fiction, heartbreakingly and beautifully written. Tessa is a wonderful young woman, resilient, and mature. Kyle, Tessa’s husband, is a handsome man, caring, loving, supportive and protective. Her Dad and Sister are also wonderful. I absolutely love the family spirit, and the family bond between them. This is the part that comforted me while listening: Tessa wasn’t alone in this journey. I laughed, I was worried, and I cried, a lot. At the end of this journey, I had no other words to explain how I was feeling: Shattered! Jaimee Moore did an great job to bring this story to life. No doubt this was a difficult story to write, and to narrate! The only issue were the distracting noises at the beginning of the chapters. Trigger Warning: I do not recommend you to listen to this audiobook, if you recently received a cancer diagnosis and/or a terminally ill prognosis.

Loved the characters, story and won't forget it...

I was not prepared for this book. I loved the characters, I related to the story with my whole heart. It warmed my heart and then shattered it. I have not gotten so emotional over a book for years. Tessa is a hero, she's your sister, your best friend, your past high school classmate, your daughter, your lover. This book is thought provoking and challenging, intellectually and emotionally. Whether you agree with her or not, you will love her and respect her courage, strength and desire to live--to make every day, hour, minute count. You will hug your family more often and hold the ones you love closer. Thank you Sarah Robinson for this beautiful, profound, artistic and powerful story. It joins a handful of books that will remain in my thoughts often.

Death With Dignity

This book was hard for me to read/listen too, in the beginning. But as I continued, I found myself loving this story.

Tessa Barnes Falls, was a brave woman. Doing the unthinkable.
At the age of 28, Tessa found herself facing a life altering illness. She has cancer. She wants to take her life, what she had left, and do it her way. Live and Die with dignity.

Tessa's story touched my heart, the more I read/listened too it. I don't personally know anyone who has dealt with the issues this character had. I would like to think, the hoops she had to jump through, have diminished.

I'm not sure if the state I live in, recognizes the Death With Dignity Act. But, I feel that everyone, in the situation as this character, has the right to choose, death over life. This is my personal opinion, and know full well that many disagree with my thoughts, but you know that old saying, "opinions are like...everyone has one."

I recommend this book, but I want you to know, it's content isn't for everyone, and ask that you please read the synopsis, beforehand. Oh, and have a full box of tissues on hand.

Sarah Robinson, thank you for writing this incredible story. It was eye opening. It made me think about choices. My choices!

This book deserves so much more than the maximum of 5 stars...

Tissues will be needed!!!

I don't even know where to begin with this review. This book was amazing! This book made me ugly cry! This book brought out EVERY emotion! At the beginning of the book I was laughing so hard at Tessa's personality. She had a big one that's for sure. I could feel the love she and Kyle had for each other. It literally just oozed off the pages. Even when they got bad news, Tessa was able to keep her positive and fun personality. I could not even begin to imagine the depth of feelings that this situation brought on, but she had an amazing family who stuck beside her through every second of it. Sarah Robinson, thank you for your amazing words!

The narration by Jaimee Moore was amazing! She portrayed the characters perfectly. She was able to carry the emotion that each person was feeling with ease. I am not quite sure how she was able to narrate this book without bawling her eyes out!! The only suggestion I would make is the chapter changes somehow needed a little more ease. There was lots of static and clicking noises between chapters, which I'm sure had something to do with editing them all together.

I definitely recommend this book, just know that you will need tissues....LOTS OF TISSUES!

Heartfelt

Every Last Drop is by far one of the best books I have ever read. This book is so emotional you won’t forget, it is filled with love, laughter, sadness and hope. Keep the tissues handy and be ready for a serious book hangover. People really need to read this amazing book. I would love to see this book made into a movie.

Wonderful

I listen to a lot of audio books and it’s the narrator that can make it or break it for me. Jaimee Moore makes the book such a pleasure to listen to and actually makes the book better!

Intense and Amazing!

This review has hard for me to even put into words. This is without a doubt the most emotionally intense books I have ever listened too, She brought the characters to life in this book amazingly. I was extremely captivated by the story. It was heartbreaking and you really wanted to route for Tessa all throughout the story. It is definitely the book to make you have the ultimate book hangover!

Jamiee brought this intense story to life and made you feel this in your soul!

Warning: I wouldn't suggest listening to this if you have a terminally illness, I normally can listen to a book in a day and this took me about a month to listen to.

Emotional but I couldn't connect

This was a touching story. The discovery of a tumor throw a wrench into Tessa and her husband's plans of having a child. They must determine the best course of action to take. I can feel the love and emotion the author put into the story but, for me, it didn't pack the punch I thought it should.

The start was so slow, it took me so long to hold my attention and I never could fully connect with any of the characters. Tessa had an attitude and was rather aggressive and abrasive, which I could understand to a point but it frustrated me. I did like the amount of support she had around her, her husband was behind her decisions even if he didn't agree. At times, they could be selfish - then again, can't we all? I like that the characters were flawed.

While it's a beautiful story, it just didn't hit me the way it should have. If you want an emotional woman's fiction then I would recommend this because I think it'll resonate with a lot of people.

Jaimee Moore's narration itself was great. She gave the characters distinct voices and
However there were some production issues. There were sounds or feedback at the beginning of chapters, some unnecessarily long pauses at the end of chapters (I had to make sure I didn't accidentally pause it), and the sound quality and volume were not consistent throughout.
I'd give the story 3.5ish starts.
