Happiness Sold Separately Audiobook

" Heartrending story of how infertility breaks up a marriage. "

" I can't believe I even finished this - A boring mis-mash of characters and the story just ended out of nowhere! I literally flipped the page to find one last paragraph followed by a huge section of discussion questions - I was tricked! :) "

" This is Winston's first novel and I give it two thumbs up for a first attempt. She's witty and snarky and empowers the little voice inside of you that sometimes wants to say "no". "

" such a good honest book about women and how we feel and deal with life. lolly winston is one of my favorite authors. "

" I know other readers said they preferred the author's first book - I read this first and really was caught up in the characters. "

" Pretty good. Slow at some points, but good story anyways "

" This book wasn't as good as I had hoped. There were to many characters that really didn't have that much to do with the story other than to try to add something that just didn't happen. The diagnosis for why they couldn't have children was way to late in the story to have any impact. I did like how it was honest about the two main characters thought and acted during the whole story. It made them feel real, unlike some of the other characters. "

" Whoa - talk about depressing! The inability to conceive and the destruction of a marriage. I am not quite sure why I read this book. If you are in a dark 'misery loves company' sort of mood then go for it but otherwise I would stay away. "

" I enjoyed this one too, but liked Winston's other book Good Grief much better. "

" I really enjoy the author's characters. I liked the various points of view, which switch in the narration. The ending ties things up and provides a sense of hope for the characters future. "

" I didn't like this as much as Good Grief (LOVED that book) but this is still good. "

" I really don't know what it is about this book that made me like it. I am usually a sucker for happily ever afters, which this definitely isn't. I think I just stumbled upon this book at the right time. I have read plenty of books that I enjoyed more and plenty that were way worse. "

" really liked this story. Will look for more books by this author "

" Started reading this book July of 2007 and realized I had already read it last summer. I guess it didn't make much of an impression which is sad as I really loved "Good Grief", Winston's debut novel. "

" I was expecting much more after reading and loving "Good Grief." This book was disappointing. "

" quick, easy read about some difficult topics: infertility, infidelity, letting go... "

" This book was okay...I've read better and I've read worse. I was really disappointed at the end. There was only semi-closure for one of the characters. "

" So so, not as much humor as first book. Rather depressing. "

" The book is a depressing sort of events, but leaves the reader feeling oddly uplifted. "

" I read Good Grief, by this same author, and I loved it- but this one wasn't as good. Engaging, but not one of my favs. "

" Okay beach book...nothing too special. The mood is pretty somber throughout...not a whole lot to the plot. It's a lot like her other book 'Good Grief'. "

" This book touched the parts of my soul which are hurting. I liked the struggles and accomplishments... "

" Another fine book that I cannot ever part with .... seems I have had this one for forever, and when the time comes to clear space and donate some used books, this one never leaves my shelf. "

" the book started out really well. liked the characters and how divorce affects all parties involved. would keep you entertained up until the very end. just didnt like how the author ended the novel. except for that, i would've given the book a 4 "

" Would not suggest this one. Had a hard time finishing it just out of boredom. "

" One of the worst books I've ever read. Boring beginning, ok middle, lame ending. "

" Not much to like. I was disappointed as I really liked GOOD GRIEF by this author. "

" This book was a bit depressing and a tad slow. I finished the book and thought, "okay, so happiness is sometimes a choice." I don't think I'll be reading any other books by Winston. "

" Listened to the tape. it has it' s moments. 2 1/2 to 3 stars "

" Only giving it a three star because I like the author's writing. The story itself was just meh. It kept me interested enough to finish it, but nothing I would recommend. I will try to get Lolly Winston first book. "

" I know other readers said they preferred the author's first book - I read this first and really was caught up in the characters. "

" This book caught my interest right from the begining. It was hard to put down. I laughed during it, got mad during it, and cried through parts of it. It was a really great book. "

" Interesting. Didn't know who I felt sorrier for... "

" It was a good story with a surprise on how this couple handled marital infidelity coupled with infertility. Lots of big topics for them to deal with. Spot on dialog with lots of witty one liners. I did enjoy the characters comments and inner workings. "

" Quick read (under a week). I enjoyed the character of Elinor and loved the way the author did not tie everything up with a bow. "

" This book is so sad. "

" A big letdown. I hoped it would be another "Good Grief." it's not. "

" Interesting story. I was afraid 3/4 the way in that the author was going to be too predicable, but she wasn't. She did good character development, I just didn't like most of the characters... "
