This was a fun, enjoyable listen. (I listened to the Audible version, provided by the author in exchange for an honest review.)Listening to it felt like having a friend with a great sense of humor along for the ride, telling me some of her favorite stories.While there were none that were particularly complex, it was still quite entertaining, in the way that personal stories often are.The narrator was really good.It's a collection of really authentic sounding, down to early stories that are believable and down to earth. I think my favorite passage was about the debtors - how she loved her debtors. I remember a landlord friend telling me one time that the late debtors were just his favorite - that they always paid more and were funny to listen to. This story reflected that experience.It's family friendly, and should be great for a long commute or to take on a vacation. It's very personable, and funny in a easy, relaxing way that doesn't require total concentration.  If you get distracted in one story, another picks up soon.
