This Is Not The Story You Think It Is: A Season of Unlikely Happiness
pipi avatar reviewed on + 43 more book reviews


This is without a doubt the most worthless book I have ever read. Maybe if I were younger I could better connect, but I doubt it. It was difficult to relate to the main character, the author, and not enough information about her husband to form a solid opinion; though I would really like to know why, after more than 20 years of marriage, he suddenly began treating her so cruelly. She found a way to deal with it that worked for her; but in reality it would be difficult, if not impossible, for most women to accomplish. The only good thing I took away with me is ordering a book she referred to explaining her method of enduring her crisis - as well as her life in general. Maybe it will give me some insight that I found missing in her book. The book received great reviews, but I found very little of value in her story and reading it was a complete waste of my time.
