    About this audiobook

    "When it comes to dating, I seem to be going around in a circle. The ones I want don't want me, and the ones who want me, I don't want."

    -Amelia

     

    “I don’t know, I just think there’s too much miscommunication between guys and girls. I mean, no one knows what the fuck is going on. We need to have the discussion. We need to vent it and get it out in the open,” I said, grabbing my drink from the bedside table.

     

    _______ sat on the edge of the bed and put his shirt back on. “What do you want to know?”

     

    “I just want to know what guys are thinking. I mean we have sex and stuff and nothing lasting ever comes of it,” I said, taking a cigarette out and lighting it. I knew I shouldn’t be smoking in the room, but I was too drunk to care.

     

    “I don’t think I should say. We don’t know everything girls are thinking. I think some things are better left unsaid.”

     

    “I want to know. I’d prefer shit to be clearer, because I’m always confused,” I replied. I could tell he was still a bit sexually frustrated, but he seemed okay to chat.

     

    “Go ahead then, ask what you want. I’ll try give it to you as straight as I can. But don’t hate the messenger,” _______ responded, taking the champagne from my hand and having some.

     

    “I won’t, promise. So why do guys act so interested and then not get in touch at all? ?” I asked.

      Perfection

      Jun 9, 2020

      For years I could barely write a page. I thought I was becoming a virtuoso of smallness while the grief, which is wordless, occupied an ever-greater volume. My friend lived in the estates on the bad side of town. Let’s go to the forest, she said when

      May 10, 2021

      As I drove slowly towards the mob of angry protestors and my meeting with 200, I thought of 199. The ashes of a once hard man, staring at me with wide eyes that pleaded for hope like a dog begging for treats. I’d somehow found a way to give him that

    What our readers think

    Readers find this title well written, with some interesting insights. However, the narrators lack storytelling experience, making it difficult to listen to. Some readers found the story predictable and wished for more depth. Overall, the book is enjoyable and offers valuable advice, but falls short of expectations. It is worth a read for those seeking insights on relationships and personal growth.

      I thought the book itself was well written, but the narrators, I felt were not experienced in storytelling at all. It really made the book hard to listen to. I came back to this book three times struggling to finish it.

      Good book but not what I expected. Enjoyed the story though
    • 1/5
      I know every single book shoes a lot of effort from a writer and all of us have different perspectives on what a book makes it good or bad, it even depends on the stage of our lives., With this being said, i think the book has few insights that can be interesting but the story is so predictable and with plane, plus just with pieces of advice you cannot make a person change, majority of the time is by living their own experience and yes in a relationship there are always 2 and we tell a different story so it would have been good to see the 2 sides of it.
    • 1/5
      Not worth the hype. Couldn’t finished it, too painful to listen to. I’m glad I didn’t buy it.
    • 5/5
      When you are lost and feel like you are not important read this book and you’ll find how beautiful your soul is. Loving this book so much
