Coming Up for Air Audiobook

" I won Coming Up for Air in a first-reads giveaway, this is a story about a daughter searching to find out who her mother was before she changed into the woman she grew up with. I can't describe it right now but the end of the book had such a personal affect on me. Perfect to snap me out of my funk. :) "

" Received the Advance Readers' Edition through FirstReads. I wasn't sure what to expect from the summary, but found that I quickly fell in love with the main character and the entire story. "

" I would give this book 4-stars if the ending wasn't so nonsensical. It held my interest until the last couple of chapters. There was this great build but the ending is so flat. "

" Loved this book. Read it in a day. "

" Enjoyable read. Found the ending too trite. "

" Won this in a giveaway. This was a decent read. "

" I loved it - and I usually am not a big fan of contemporary fiction. "

" Makes me want to visit Alabama and experience a Jubilee! "

" This is a story about marriage, motherhood, love and a Southern woman's journey into truth. "

" that was the longest 281 pages ever....ugh "

" Although the story was a bit of a cliche, I really enjoyed her writing. Her thoughts on mother/daughter relationships and marriage were very interesting. Enjoyed the story. "

" Amazing story. Patti Callahan Henry is a wonderful author. This is the third book of hers I have read and I love them all. It was a great story about finding the truth in your life and following not the easy path but the path your heart yearns to follow. I can't wait to read more of her books! "

" This is another good summer read that you want to zip through. I found it enjoyable but a bit sappy. However, it focuses on love, relationships, parental loss and understanding, as well as what is really important in life. "

" I really liked this story and the way Patti Henry told it. I liked the way she interwove Ellie's story with that of Ellie's mother, the essence of small town and old society, the insights into love, marriage, the human heart and soul. This is a story that will stay with me for a long time. "

" Heartwarming and emotional. Anybody who has ever loved and lost will enjoy the story of Ellie Calvin. This is an engrossing story of a daughter, wife and mother (Ellie) who is struggling to deal with the turmoil that is - life. "

" When Ellie mother dies, Ellie wants to understand her mother's life which forces her to look at her own choices. An easy read that I really enjoyed. "

" Not my typical genre, but EXTREMELY well-written! Two thumbs up! The author really knows how to spin a yarn, although the "secret" in the story was obvious to me the moment I met the character it was about. "
