Meh. Really cheesy chick-lit. Very predictable.

Camille PagaĢn has become a "go-to" author for me, so I was excited to listen to her newest novel, This Won't End Well. As always, the story is engaging, the protagonist is appealingly flawed, and narrator Amy McFadden is excellent. While it's not my favorite of PagaĢn's, I would definitely recommend it.ā €
ā €

Annie Mercer is at a transition point in her life, though not by choice. After her loathsome boss harassed her and Annie reacted, ā¬‡ļø¸

UnabridgedPod she has to leave the chemistry job she loves. Then, her fiance Jon takes off on a trip to France--not only does he not invite Annie to come along, but he also tells her that he's cutting off all contact because he needs some alone time. Annie decides the best response is to self isolate: she starts a new cleaning business and does her best to avoid meeting anyone . . . ā¬‡ļø¸ 4y

UnabridgedPod and then her neighbor, Harper, moves in, and Annie can't help but get to know her AND to notice that there's something going on beyond her glamorous surface.

Annie's voice is strong, and I appreciated watching her work through the challenges she's facing. This book gave me exactly what I expected and needed at the moment. ā¬‡ļø¸ 4y

UnabridgedPod So, while PagaĢn's books are, at this point, following a bit of a formula, they're also satisfying, well written, and enjoyable.

Freespirit My first thought was Agatha Christie...they follow a formulae...are brilliant and so readable!! (edited) 4y

UnabridgedPod @Freespirit That‘s a perfect rec (and I‘ve read Christie, but it‘s been a looong time!). 4y

UnabridgedPod @Freespirit thank you! 4y

āļø¸āļø¸āļø¸/5 this was not my favorite of Camille Pagán‘s. It fell a little short. I didn‘t love the way the main character was being treated by her fiancé.

This was a thoroughly delightful #audiobook. I listened while doing paperwork this week. The characters are relatable and have some moments of self-awareness that made me so happy! Highly recommend!

Sometimes I just need a ā€feel goodā€ kind of book just to counteract all the crap that‘s going on in the world today. This book definitely fit the bill.

Reviewsbylola What a gorgeous cover. And I can relate. I‘m finding it really hard to concentrate on books right now. 5y

suvata @Reviewsbylola I am having the opposite problem. I‘m finding it very hard to concentrate on reality right now. The good thing is that I‘m going through my TBR like wildfire. 5y

Tracey3 I really enjoyed ā€I‘m fine and Neither are You.ā€¯ I‘ve also been struggling to read. 5y

Reviewsbylola I want to be like you!! I thought I would read so much during this quarantine. š 5y
