This Must Be the Place: A Novel Audiobook

" A very enjoyable book, made me wish I could rent a room and have my life changed for the better. "

" This story didn't go anywhere I expected to so that made it interesting (and sometimes very funny - especially the WWPTD chapter - what WOULD Pete Townsend do?). I loved all the characters (yes even Amy) and it had a happy ending (several happy endings actually) - what more can you want. I'm surprised people haven't listed favorite quotes - I remember several things I should have written down and remembered. "

" I wavered between 2 and 3 stars but ultimately decided I liked it more than I disliked it, despite the awkward and sometimes heavy-handed foreshadowing at times. (So heavy-handed that I saw the "big reveal" coming from a mile away, and that's saying something since I'm almost always the last one to catch on to those kinds of twists.) "

" Just okay. Ultimately a little too chick-litty for me. I enjoyed the bits about the boarding house and the characters there, but I found the plot about the daughter and the boy from her high school class uninteresting. "

" Somewhat predictable, but this was a good plane read. I liked the characters, and I liked reading about cake. "

" This is Kate Racculia's first book ... and personally I hope to see many more, soon, very soon. I thoroughly enjoyed the plot, she draws amazingly complex characters and takes some unexpected turns. Bravo. "

" I am not finishing this book. It was given to me free for review. I'm so disappointed. The writing is well done, but the content is offensive. I won't go into details, because it's gross, but combine it with horrid language and you'll know why I gave up on it. "

" I enjoyed this book, which followed one man's journey to discover who his wife was - after her death. The characters were well-developed and the plot was interesting. It did take me a while to read it, though, as it is a pretty long book. "

" never would have made it through if I had had anything else to read, but I'm really glad I decided to stick with it. Love that the characters are the same age as I am and went to high school in the same period. Racculia is generous with her character's flaws, both in description and depth. "

" One of those books with a very engaging (if predictable) main plot/"mystery" and less engaging subplot. I found myself wanting to skip a lot (the author's very descriptive writing style didn't help) to get to the parts I was most interested in. "

" Loved this book...very, very well written! Very troubled characters! "

" I absolutely loved this book!! Please write more, Kate! "

" I really liked the premise of this novel, but for me, it didn't live up to its expectation. A reviewer said it would have been better as a short story and I agree. One thing that I did enjoy was the quirky characters. Overall this book for me was meh. "

" This is a fantastic debut novel. It's a captivating story with totally original characters. Kate Racculia is a great writer who I hope comes out with something else very soon. "

" I've been lucky to have chosen several good books so far this year. I loved this one! "

" Intriguing! Lots of passion on the first 40 pages! This turned out to be an awesome read!teen angst, parenting issues, baking/fondant, art forgery..it had it all! as they say on the book jacket- "it is a celebration of life,self-discovery and love." "

" Really liked this book. A trifecta of character, plot, and good writing. "

" Why does this remind me of Elizabeth McCracken? An intriguing story, gently told--ostensibly about a young widower's search for his late wife's identity, but more about the mystery of belonging and finding our place in the world. LA to Syracuse. blurbed by Elizabeth Berg. "

" I enjoyed this book very much, and will look for other books by this author. "

" enjoyed it very much. she's a gifted writer "

" quick read, very enjoyable, palate cleanser, "

" The "secret" is not much of a secret; finishing it says something. "

" the plot turned out to be a little less than i expected, but Racculia writes with so much elegance and subtle sense of humor. for the style of writing alone, i'm sure i will read more of Racculia. "

" I've been lucky to have chosen several good books so far this year. I loved this one! "

" I was nervous the whole time I was reading this book because ALL the characters were nervous, anxious, sad, secretive. "

" Somewhat predictable, but this was a good plane read. I liked the characters, and I liked reading about cake. "
