sweet

low angst happiness, to warm your heart and blow away the blues
though this starts with a death the impact is low as our mcs meet, there's an instant rapour, and romance follows. the story is just how you'd hope life could be, meet, be friends, and allow nature to take it's course, a pregnancy and an old fashioned mother In no way lesson the love.
really well narrated with great character voices.
if ever I'm blue, I'll come back to this.

Misleading advice about alcohol use in pregnancy

PLEASE don't any pregnant women believe the guidance in this novel which claims that it is ok to drink cider - an alcoholic drink - while pregnant. Cider, unless it is alcohol free, is made by fermenting apple juice and most of it has a ABV similar to that of wine. Please understand that alcohol affects the development of a foetus. It can damage you baby's brain development and overall health, affecting your child for the rest of its life. The best and most up-to-date medical advice is 'Don't drink alcohol while you are pregnant'.

This genre has the same issues...predictability!

No matter how hard a narrator tries or how good they read, if the book doesn't have any depth it stands no chance. Many of Sarah Waters books are now classics, because they are original and long with depth, same with Kristen Zimmer, and a few others, excluding Radclyffe the worst of all.
A book needs to have a good storyline, that grips you to each next chapter to the very last word!! Leaving you wanting another book, read my 5star reviews, awesome books, addictive, for many reasons, such as Gravity Between us remains funny and great all the way through, the Miseducation of Cameron Post, Letters never sent by Sandra Moran, WILD by Meghan O'Brien, the mafia style The Devil Inside by Ali Vali., the eerie Photograph Tale by Jane Retzig-there is no way you can imagine how it ends!...I can't list all the 5 star reads in a review of a lesser book, I'm just saying, there are some 100% quality books out there and here on Audible, and when you read a good review, decide to buy it, only to find it a waste of time and money it's not fair.
There are some fabulous reads out there and the thing they have in common is you have no idea what the next sentence will be, let alone a chapter, additionally once reaching the end you feel, oh no...I need another chapter, or a follow up book, that's when you give 5 stars.
when a book is so predictable that it is a yawn..say so. I don't like a misleading review.
If you want something light and predictable look at the 2+3 star rated.
