Let's put her in danger at the beginning of the book. Let's take our little child on a road trip knowing our car won't make it. She makes a very bad choice in the beginning of the book and still doesn't learn from her mistake.

Spoiler alert: Melanie was supposed to be intelligent with a bright future. Rather tired of reading about yet another woman who ends up a single mom due to poor life choices and continues to make bad choices. The performer was certainly fine but the story line was dull and unimaginative. What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you? I give it a big thumbs up.ĭull story about another woman making poor choices This is not a feel-good-all-the-way-though novel - it has grit. This book has suspense and some pretty tough times that you may find hard to get by. Bybee has a great track record in series having penned the 'Weekly Brides' series which is fabulous and a must listen. I can't wait to listen to how she will disentangle that mess, let alone figure out how Jo will get her happily-ever-after and solve her father's murder - that will be a doozy. The drama has already been setup in this novel for a later novel. Bybee did an outstanding job of characterizing her seven-year-old daughter Hope who you will instantly like. She was voted most likely to succeed in high-school, but her life has been anything but.

Melanie is a single mom with a broken-down car who comes home.

The great news about this first one is, you will like the entire cast. You know who the follow-on books will be about, you just don't know the order or plots. As with a first series books, you have to establish the cast of characters. This is the first book in the 'Most Likely to' series.
