Unforgettable
I read the book Annabel years ago and loved it then. Listening to it I fell in love with the story over again. The premise is unusual, interesting and sad with a beautiful heartwarming ending.

Heartbreakingly Beautiful
I cried, a lot but it was the good kind of crying, the kind of crying that feels cathartic because you've just witnessed something heartbreaking and real.

Heartrending
The author is a master of detail and character, using both to carefully weave a narrative that immerses the reader into the humanity of the unknown, but which becomes intimately familiar. Then, there is redemption of everything that has built into anxiety and need for the reader. Beautifully told, extremely meaningful. The narrator is very good, although I always listen at increased speed.
