This Is Not The Story You Think It Is...: A Season of Unlikely Happiness Audiobook

" There is a lot of guts in this story- in revealing a painful process and allowing herself to be so vulnerable to the audience. Her writing needs a bit more development, but I found a lot of comfort in her story. and i loved the references to other authors she was reading at the time that inspired her. "

" I liked this book. Was it the best book I've ever read? No. But it was a good solid memoir, with a great lesson about being responsible for our own happiness, & how one woman chose to do so, despite the difficulties going on in her life. "

" I almost gave up after the first couple chapters, which lean heavily new-age philosophy-speak, with plenty of quotes from various books. Agh! But ultimately there's an interesting lesson about not engaging and letting someone else use you as a target for their own issues. "

" Great book if you are struggling in a relationship (or not). Interesting read. "

" love the setting of Montana "

" I loved this book. Happiness is indeed within, and it's a daily choice. Good job, Laura. "

" A great book about the trials and tribulations of finding peace in middle-age and learning that the path of least resistance is the one that will set you free... "

" Just another memoir about white people being sad. Whateves... "

" Really engaging book. I kept trying to find time to read it because I was so curious about what would happen. I felt like I got some good insights from it, though I'm still undecided about whether I agree with the author's basic premise. "

" Just about the most awful thing I had to read for review. Whiny beyond redemption, and the quality of writing was, to use Orwell's phrase, outright barbarous. "

" I really enjoyed this book-if you can enjoy a subject that is really sad and hard to read about. This is the story of a woman in marital crisis-and her play by play analysis of what happens over one difficult summer. Definitely worth reading. "

" I picked this book up at the Unclaimed Baggage store. I can see why someone left it behind on the plane. I should have left it in the store. The author seemed to enjoy her role as a victim of her husband's moods and insensitivity. "

" Fascinating. I am not sure I could be as strong and generous as this lady. But it made me think a lot about how my reaction is just as impactful as any action. "

" Wow...still thinking about this book even though I finished it yesterday. I learned so much here...it's a keeper and a must-read. What a testament about one woman's growth within her marriage and self. I loved it. "

" Just about the most awful thing I had to read for review. Whiny beyond redemption, and the quality of writing was, to use Orwell's phrase, outright barbarous. "

" This book felt like a rip off of "Eat Pray Love", but not a very good one. I'm wondering what other people thought? I wouldn't recommend it. "

" Although this is a personal story about how a woman kept her happiness during her husband's midlife crisis, I found so much of the experience she had and the way she kept her cool, not taking anything personally even though most people would have freaked out, a breath of fresh air. Bravo to Laura. "

" not my kind of book. glad it helped her. "

" This made me cry, and at times I was so angry at the author for not asserting herself. But i cam to appreciate her situation and really empathize. A great memoir, I hope to see her fiction published soon! "

" This is the day by day account of a woman whose husband may or may not leave her. She describes the events and her reactions to the slow breakdown of her family. It was a slow read but a good one. "

" This started out slow for me...I wasn't interested...but you were right Jennifer...it was worth the read! I'm glad I didn't give up! "
