A sweet little story ( ) Reason read: this is a book club read for my LHBG, I wonder what they'll think. A contemporary novel looking at relationships and being real, starts with lies. Characters ranged from old to young. The oldest being 85 but most in the middle years. There was single, married, etc. The first character which starts it all off is Julian. Julian flaunts a designer wardrobe and has a collection of old LPs. The book is generally about how connections with people (real connections, not technology connections) make life worth the living. The other characters include; a cafe owner, single 37 y/o woman, an alcoholic drug addict, an Australian tourist, and a social media influencer/new mother. There are several secondary characters as well, such as the Chinese restaurant owner and her son. Had I qued up this audio book while still in darkmode, I'd have abandoned it with a cynical dismissal, using words like "treacle" and "obvious." But in my current mental state, and especially having listened to it all the way to the end, I think I might love it. #BookTwitter Audio Book Libby Nashville Drive Time October 3/4 2021 The concept of this book is good......6 strangers become friends through a book being written in and left for the next to find and read and add their story to......problem is this for me.... it stayed stagnate and didnt really have anything climactic in it ....so, even though I read it for a while at a time, once I put it down to do something or go somewhere, it would take me a while to pick it back up...... This book was a joy to read. Like Lizzie, peeping into the lives of so many strangers was invigorating. The characters were all complex and as the reader, we get to learn about them as they learn about themselves and each other. What would happen if you shared the truth instead? Joy, pain, hurt, healing. It's a scary mixed bag! Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
"A story about a solitary green notebook that brings together six strangers and leads to unexpected friendship, and even love--think Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine meets Love, Actually "Everybody lies about their lives. What would happen if you shared the truth?" This is the question that Julian Jessop, an eccentric, seventy-nine-year-old artist, poses within a pale green exercise book that he labels The Authenticity Project, before leaving it behind in Monica's Café. When Monica discovers Julian's abandoned notebook, not only does she add her own story to the book, she is determined to find a way to help Julian feel less lonely. And so it goes with the others who find the green notebook that will soon contain their deepest selves. It will also knit the group together In Real Life at Monica's Cafe, where they'll discover the thrill and sometime-risk of being completely honest--and, for some, find unexpected love. With a cast of characters who are by turns quirky and funny, heartbreakingly sad and painfully true-to-life, The Authenticity Project is a novel readers will take to their hearts and read with unabashed pleasure"-- No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
