Welcome to Litsy!

Enjoyed this one! Libby gets a cancer diagnosis the same day that her husband comes out to her. With her life completely upended, she takes off to Puerto Rico to get away from everything and to think about her next steps. I was rooting for Libby the whole time. This was a quick read with some awesome supporting characters!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 this one was sweet and hopeful, as most of Camille Pagan‘s novels turn out to be.

I have been working my way through Camille Pagán's books--many of them are available on Kindle Unlimited, so I love the chance to move between the e- and audiobooks with WhisperSync. Repeat audiobook reader Amy McFadden is fabulous, and her reading of Life and Other Near-Death Experiences is, once again, excellent. This novel begins on the day that Libby Miller discovers (1) she has terminal cancer and (2) her long-time husband Tom is gay. ⬇️

A story about a woman who goes to Puerto Rico after suddenly being diagnosed with a terminal illness. She's running away from the problem instead of trying to treat and combat it. The ending was predictable, in my opinion.

This...

I hated this in the beginning and almost bailed but I am glad I stuck with it. For such a heavy premise ( a woman‘s marriage implodes the same day she receives a cancer diagnosis) it is a surprisingly light read. There is not a lot of depth here but I became absorbed in the story and it was a quick read. Not life changing but worth the couple of hours I spent reading it.

The tagged book by Camille Pagan !! Truly underrated

I shoulda read this AFTER A Small Revolution, but what did I know?🤷🏻‍♀️
This is light, & can veer on schmaltzy.
But it won me over 🙂
It‘s short, it‘s fun, it‘s feel-good ~ more or less. A great book for a readathon, or travel, just for fun.

I enjoyed this light hearted(?) look at grief. Old grief, new grief all kinds of grief.. should of been a downer of a read but the author wrote it through the eyes of a awakened sarcastic mc and I liked her spunk immediately ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I enjoyed this book. It was a quick, mostly light-hearted read.

This is on sale today for $5.99 on Amazon. #ordered
Woot!!

This book was really great! I loved the characters and the story line and it was definitely not what I expected it to be. It was just a really fun and nice book about what to do when life hands you the sourest lemons.

Most people seem to dislike this book. I thought it was a good choice for the #ArmchairAudies. Read my full review to find out why.

"It‘s permanence that distinguishes grief from other emotional pain. The unfixable nature of never—that‘s what makes it so terrible to bear."

This isn't a light and happy book, but it could of been worse! This is the second book I've read dealing with the idea of/or the actuality of dying. I think I will read something a bit more uplifting next!

This book gets mixed reviews but I liked it. And a big part of it is set on an island off Puerto Rico. Considering the theme (life, illness, death), it's a fairly lighthearted read. The MC is annoying at first but I thought she matured and grew through her experiences. #bookssetbythesea #septphotochallenge #somethinfgforsept

I went into this looking for something to wrap me up and whisk me away to another place. This just wasn't the book to do it. Someone looking for a beach-y read might really enjoy this one. It missed the mark for me.

Listened to this at 1.5x speed cuz narrator was annoying. And main character was irritating. Not a lot of depth to the story, which doesn't usually bother me if there's likeable characters. Kept listening cuz I wanted to know how it would end. Epilogue was prob best part. Wonder how much better it would've been had narrator not sounded like she was forcing herself to like the story?🤔

Starting the audiobook today since I'm stuck in traffic on my way home from work. Although I'm less than five minutes in and I do NOT enjoy the voice of the reader. Sounds like a robot.

Just stated listening to this today. Thank you, Audible Daily Deal! #audiobook
