One Good Thing

Single dad stories are my kryptonite and this one was no different. It hit me hard in the feels. Not only is it a single dad story but Isaac is struggling to make ends meet and his child has some underlying issues that come to light throughout the story. Enter Cora, a movie star, who seemingly has it all, yet spends so much time at the coffee place Isaac works at. After one hot night, they don't see each other for a while. But once they reconnect it is all the things. I loved that Isaac was a man with real issues and real emotions and reactions. He doesn't always do or say the right thing. And I loved that Cora didn't back down, she fought for what she wanted. She accepted Isaac and his son as they were. Their story is beautiful and endearing.

There is one guy-wrenching scene that just had me all up in my emotions and crying and cursing. I'm sure anyone that has read or listened to it know what scene I mean. The performance was outstanding for it too.

I had to run to my book club lovelies to ask questions at one point due to country differences, and I needed to check the info. As I was surprised. That's not on the author but how different countries operate. Not going to say any more on that as to not spoil it for anyone.

Tim Paige and Lessa Lamb were great for this story. Their voices complemented each other and the transition from one to the other wasn't too jarring. Tim brought so much emotion to Isaac's character that it shone through and made this one of my favourite performances by him. Lessa had the perfect voice to the sassy Cora.
The only slight issue I had with the audiobook was the lack of diversity for a diverse character. Otherwise, I thought it was a high quality audiobook.
