I didn't set out to enjoy this book, it was just supposed to be background noise as I packed my room. However, I soon found that I was hooked as each character was introduced in just the right way, at just the right time. I love books myself and was drawn in through all the quotes, short stories, and little clues along the way. Give it a chance and you may find you love it too.

Beautiful heartfelt story. Sometimes life gives you a whole lot of lemons and it can make you sour. Sometimes life throws in the sugar too, to help make lemonade.

I loved this book. Well written and well narrated!! Held me captive from beginning to end.

Loved the story!

Wonderful story

It took a me a bit to get into the story and the characters, but once I did, I didn’t want to put the book down.. I thought the writing was very imaginative and heartwarming, and the characters quite human.

Cute, light

Great book, lots of twist and turns till the very end!

I enjoyed the book very much. I also enjoyed the narrator very much as I could feel the emotions of despair and joy through his voice. There were a lot of unexpected twists and turns that added to my enjoyment of the book. In times like these when we are self quarantined, I am thankful that we have Audio Books.

A.J. Fikry has been dealt a number of hard blows in life. First, he loses his wife and then a prized possession. In an unforeseen turn-of-events, A.J. Fikry's circumstances abruptly change . His life still has challenges, but he is no longer forced to go it alone. It's a beautiful story of life, love, loss, and the peculiar character that is A. J. Fikry.

Excellent book...it took me a little time to get used to the narrator but I ended up loving this book and not wanting it to end.

I listen to audio books as I knit. I wanted something a bit different and a bit slower. this was both. I enjoyed it and it held my interest but it wasn't great. It was worth "a read" and a nice change of pace.
