The Girl She Used to Be Audiobook

" This book is so well written. Such a great story. In the beginning, I thought to myself "this story is wayyyyy out there and hardly believable", but that was trivial to the pull I felt to this author's writing. There is no excess word in this book. It's a short story; one that I enjoyed so much I wished it to be longer. My heart was aching as I thought of how this story would end. I assumed it would not give me the perfect ending I had longed for, but the author came up with the perfect ending afterall (just not the one I imagined!). Why can't every book be this enjoyable?! It's really a wild and frivolous story that would not be believable without this author's expert writing. I now feel I should go back and lower scores on previously read books to balance out this 5 star score . . . we'll see. "

" I liked the plot and the characters in this story - the author left a few gaps in the story line and in the character development that I wish he had done more work on, but it was a good story. "

" I enjoyed the beginning of this book. It had some sarcasm, which is my second language. It also had some humor and I liked the story line. Then the dreaded cliche happened followed by an abrupt ending. I mean, all of my questions were answered by the end of the book, but it went a little too fast for me. I was left wanting. "

" A very quick, light read. This book is about a 26 year old in the witness protection program. There is drama, suspense, and romance. "

" Perfect summer read for me. "

" Really enjoyed the book. Quick, easy read. Love story with some action and suspense. My favorite part was the Billy Idol excerpt. I liked how observant and witty she was. "

" Was glad I picked this up when working a few night shifts- read the whole thing! Liked the writing style as well as the story. Impressive for a first time author- hope he writes another soon! "

" fast, enjoyable read -- i'd give it 3.5 if i could. "

" It was a fast read and a good plot. I wasn't crazy about the writing and at times, it was a little cheesy. I wish it had been a little better written because the story itself was good. "

" This book was a page turner! I liked it-read it in one day!! Would be a good book club selection. "

" I really, really liked this book and was surprised by how captivated I was by it. During the first 20 pages, I didn't think I would like it, but it quickly pulled me in and I didn't want it to end. It's a quick read. "

" Loved this book, read it in one sitting (stayed up too late). After the first few pages, where I had my doubts, I was completely hooked. An unusual love story with original characters. The woman tells the story and it is compelling. "

" Not a deep read, but pleasant. I enjoyed it. "

" I really enjoyed the story and the relationship between the characters. However, I wish the ending had been allowed for more closure. "

" Enjoyed this book. Found myself very invested in the main character and my heart broke for her "

" Ok, I finished this in one day. Book didn't come alive until Jonathan arrived on the scene, then it became fantastic. I wish he had made this a longer story, so much more he could have elaborated on. Hoping for a sequel! "

" This was such a good book!! Some parts seemed like a documentary but the plot was rich and suspensful although not in a scary way. "

" I read The Exceptions first & thought this was wonderful to fill in her side of their time together. I like Cristofano's style if writing, too... "

" A bit formulaic but overall a very good effort for a first-time novelist. Very enjoyable, a quick read, and better than average. I would read another book from this author. "

" REally enjoyed this! Couldn't put it down till I finished it. The ending was a little sudden though. "

" Face paced, quick read for anyone who has ever wondered a bout the witness protection program. "
