My Thoughts
This was different. I have read books like this but I have never done it in audio. At first I was not sure, but it did work really well and you felt really close to everyone.
The book takes place after Iris' death. Her boss Simon is struggling with losing her. Her sister is struggling with loosing her. He wants to publish her blog (as was her wish), and her sister does not like it.
So what do we get? We get emails and text messages between these too as they get to know each other better. We get emails from his intern Carl, who is so so annoying, but whom you still have to like. And everything else in a modern world. Online therapy, spam, you name it. And it does work.
I'd say the only thing I did not get a sense of was how everyone looked. I really could not picture them at all when it was in this way.
Also, yes we do get Iris too, but only though her blog posts, which I guess does not make this as sad as it could have been. which is a good thing.
As it was now. I enjoyed it. It was sure a different way to listen to audio.

I liked her, and omg her Carl voice was exactly him! She brought order to this book as it was done in this format.
As you know, I don't listen to much audio, but this sounds really unique. Hugs...RO
ReplyDeleteIt might work even for you :)
DeleteThis sounds cute!
ReplyDeleteWell, not exactly cute, that dead person does hang in the air
DeleteThis sounds good, I am glad it worked on audio. i have read this type of format, but not listened.
ReplyDeleteIt was sure different this way
DeleteI tend to like books like that this that tell the story with emails and such, but I have listened to books like this on audio and I hate how the narrator has to read the email headers and such. It gets annoying.
ReplyDeleteI did not think of that! Maybe she did not do it? Now you have me wondering
DeleteShe wants her blog published after her death? That would be strange.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, no idea why, weirdo lol
DeleteThis was a risky one. Glad it worked!
ReplyDeleteI am relieved
DeleteSounds a little different and yet its one I think that appeals to me.
ReplyDeleteIt kind of works for everyone
DeleteSounds interesting. To publish or not to publish??
ReplyDeleteOr something hihi
DeleteThat does sound like a different kind of audiobook. Glad it worked for you.
ReplyDeleteHmm, interesting when one of the central characters of a story is dead and you only get a sense of her through letters and blog posts. Does sound different indeed.

Her blog, the letters are between her boss and sister
