Passing Love Audiobook

" I loved this novel because it pulled together so many things about which I have been learning this summer: the rise of jazz, the way African-Americans were treated back home after having served in WWII, etc. I almost cheered for Nicole at the end :) "

" Overall I appreciated the authors sense of place (Paris) and her character development. My issue is with her sentence structure which at times felt awkward. I caught myself rereading sentences and paragraphs to discern the meaning. I have caught myself thinking about the characters in the days since I finished the book which says a lot about how embedded they were in my mind. In summary, an enjoyable read. "

" Read this book for one of my book clubs. I enjoyed the historical aspects - Paris after WWII with many blacks finding the acceptance they couldn't get at home. I also enjoyed the descriptions of Paris and use of French (a good refresher). The story was interesting but didn't grab my heart strings. Probably a 3.5. Will be interested in our discussion. "

" This was such a slow read. I did not get truly engaged in the book until around page 150. Great story overall. "

" Even though this is a "romance" novel which I generally stay away from; this story at least has some interesting quirks. It's really three different romance stories woven into one and it's fairly enjoyable. "

" I'm a little conflicted on this one. Something about the author's style of writing didn't work for me, but I enjoyed most of the story. There's a soap-opera-y little twist in the middle that I didn't see coming and enjoyed. "

" Interesting read focuses on African American expat scene in Paris after WWII. "

" It took me a while to get into this book, but when I did, I read it right through. I think 3.5 stars would be more appropriate. I liked how the writer moved between times and had the story of two people Ruby and Nicole. "

" It didn't work for me... "

" Romantic love story where to two women have the same man in common but they are decades apart. I got lost in the French lessons and took me a while to see the connection between the characters. The character development was awesome but it was the slow storyline that made this a 3-star read. "

" An incredibly lush read. The story transitions back and forth in time between Paris present-day and the 1950s. It explores multifaceted aspects of love, from romance to heartbreak, quite beautifully. "

" The book was difficult for me to follow. It could be the back and forth between the French and English. The chapters about Ruby were more interesting to me. Those chapters could have been a book in its self. I would have enjoyed this book more if the story was told from the perspective of Ruby. "

" This was a touching, magical, heartbreaker of a story, with the right measure of hope. The writing is strong, the plot is compelling, and I enjoyed learning about eras, places, and situations new to me. I will be watching for anything else by Luckett. "

" Another 3.5 for me "

" a very good read in my opinion. "

" 3.5 is my truer rating for this book. It was a slow start but it eventually got and held my interest. For me it ended short of answers. It's a sad love story on multiple accounts. Its lessons are very real, which is what I liked most about this book. "
