The Goodbye Quilt Audiobook

" Picked this book up because I've read and enjoyed a handful of Susan Wiggs books and my Mom is a big quilter, so I thought I might enjoy this. Oh my, this book has almost NO real story to it...just a bunch of sentiments around a daughter going to college. There were no big events (okay, maybe one), no big mystery, no big problems to solve, etc...maybe that's the point. Wow- guess this book is geared towards the quilting-age-crowd (they can't handle big excitement?), not the 30-somethings. I (kind of) recommend this book to people who like to quilt AND who have an only daughter who is about to go off to college. "

" A bit sappy and sentimental. It was ok. "

" Good book, heartfelt quick read "

" I liked this book, but it occasionally made me tear up since my mom dropped me off and I know (hope) I will one day drop Kennedy off at college. That being said, it was occasionally a little predictable "

" Listened to this on audio and enjoyed but have definitely read Susan Wiggs books I liked more. "

" I love Susan Wiggs' books! Can't get enough of her contemporary romances! But this one just didn't hit the mark for me. No, it's not a romance, which I knew going in, but I just didn't find excitement in it. It was a slow read and I just couldn't get into it! Was waiting patiently throughout the book for the exciting part and I didn't find it! Still a true fan though!! "

" VERY fast read - I didn't think it needed the Epilogue at all; I thought it took away from the ending. "

" Giving it a 3 star rating is stretching it a bit. It was not one of my favorites. It went off in all directions, and parts just didn't fit..... "

" Overly sentimental book about Mom separating from daughter going to college. I was delighted when they finally said goodbye. "

" Definitely not my favorite. Only about a very small topic, and not one I could relate to. "

" I only read this because it came free with my Kobo for mother's day. Smarmy sappy blech. "

" Middle-age chick lit does not appeal to me. Now I know. An easy read, almost embarrasingly so. "

" I like the plot but still need something to fresh up the story. Some part is boring. But good enough to finish it. "

" I wish I'd had this book to read about 15 years ago! "

" I started this, and it was ok, but I was just afraid it was going to be over emotional about a mom taking her daughter off to college. And I just wasn't up to that. I may try reading it later. "

" I was not captivated by the book. I kept thinking something has to happen. "

" Nice job of portraying a mother trying to impose her life on her daughter. "

" Good, quick read. Explores the emotion a mother feels when children leave the nest. A tear jerker at times. "

" Concept was good but did not like the writing "

" Mother & daughter go on a cross country drive & bond over a quilt. While the daughter teaches her mother, the small life events we experience, are what write our story. "

" Not as enjoyable as her other books. Focused too much on the mother's rambling repetive thoughts and emotions about her daughter's departure to college. "

" Easy read not the best I have read. "

" This was a fun easy read. Could relate a lot to the mother. It's hard to watch your child grow into an young adult and learn to let go. "

" I loved this...especially given that I have one starting college soon. And I read it in one night. "

" More like a short story. I think you were suppose to feel a WHOLE lot between this mother and daughter pair. I did but not enough. A little boring at times and much too predictable. "

" A fast read all about a mother and daughter's final days before the daughter goes off to college. "

" A touching Mother/Daughter story. The ending was a nice surprise. Quick read also. "

" This was ok. Not as good as Susan Wigg's other books though. Decent ending. "

" Just could not get into this book. "

" Read this book as my daughter and I were visiting colleges, it fit perfectly with our activity. It was a quick and entertaining read. "

" A bit sappy and sentimental. It was ok. "
