It was slow to start but I listened to the full thing because Mary Streep narrated it and she did an amazing job. The book was recommended so I finished it but I wasn’t invested.

I listened to the audio narrated by Meryl Streep! Switches between 1980s and 2020 as Lara recounts her life and foray into acting to her grown daughters years later.

I love the character studies and listening to Lara’s story with the same rapt attention as Emily, Maisie, and Nel! Listening to the audio felt like I was one of Lara’s daughters listening to their mothers story as well.

I spent many summers as a kid in traverse city so it felt very nostalgic ❤️ I loved the atmospheric setting descriptions of Michigan and found parts very funny and true, it really captures the “Pure Michigan” vibes 🌊 It also made me slightly homesick for Michigan summers!

Deeply relate to Lara with her bookish loves and despising the symbolism of the school gym 😅 This is a slow, picturesque story that felt relaxing and lighthearted! I enjoyed taking my time with this book and getting to know each character ❤️ A beautiful story of youth, nostalgia, and relationships!

A stunning audiobook that felt like napping in the sun while listening to crashing waves
