Corner Shop Audiobook (Unabridged)

" Quick read about complicated relationships. Not much cross-cultural detail. "

" Found this to be mediocre, not well written and totally unrealistic. It held my interest at times but at others did not "

" I really liked this story. It was full of charming characters. I didn't like that it seemed unnecessarily wordy sometimes. It could have been 50 pages shorter! "

" Dislike this book due to the plot and some of the character decisions in the book "

" Engaging on the whole, if a little slight, and the French scenes seemed contrived. "

" This could have been a stellar book... I got bored, "cheated" and read the last few pages. The ending was not sastisfying. "

" I was not a fan of this book, and found some of the storylines to be a bit... well... gross. The characters were flighty and self-absorbed, and the ending was abrupt. I doubt I will read anything by this author again. "

" A little sad, a little fun, quick read "

" I really enjoyed the ending to this book. It's not a typical happy ending, which I confess is my preference, but instead, a life-goes-on ending. I liked the reality to it, and it seemed to fit well with the tone of the book. "

" Loved this book - an engaging story with surprising twists, and flawed and funny characters that really stayed with me. And a fascinating, disquieting study of the nature of wants and desires. Really recommend you read it. "

" 2.5 stars. I really liked most of the characters, but so much time was lapsing by the end of the book that it just wasn't that engaging anymore. "

" Ok, I do not like her books. She's got a great writing style and makes you start to get into the characters and then halfway in just throws it out the window. I thought the first book might be a fluke so I went back to the second one and it was the same. I'm done with her! "

" I found the plot of Corner Shop to be much less convoluted than Bitter Sweets, which was rather nice. I think, however, that Farooki is a better writer than the plot of Corner Shop allowed her to be. "

" Interesting multicultural family saga—I really liked Farooki’s prose and the way she got inside her characters’ heads. The ending felt a little tacked on, but I still enjoyed this and look forward to reading more of Farooki’s work. "
