I came across this book while selecting books for reviewing and I must say, the review really motivated me to take this up. With the simplicity of text and story revolving around pandemic, it must be a good read. Thanks for the meaningful review. It surely helped me choose my next read.

The book seems like a charming read. I particularly like that it is centered on family and the intricacies of navigating parent/child relationships.

I'm not fond of audiobooks and just reviewed another one a few days ago, so I'll have to skip this one. Thanks for the recommendation.

I love a good mystery, and 'A Week's Worth' promises just that. There's Mac's reconnection with his mother, the mysterious deaths around them, and the mentioned jaw-dropping reveal in chapter 55. Congrats on BOTD!

So, events and consequences in this novel most of us are vulnerable to. and the author made a perfect choice for MAC`s character so he can withstand, and face challenges and consequences included in this novel, and this is good to feel empathy to someone who is strong enough, I guess ends with no logical manner makes the novel so interesting. thank you for your review and you encouraged me to read it too. :D :D :D

I don't get a sense of the book's mystery or suspense value from this review. Perhaps that indicates a difficulty in reviewing an audio book. The one interesting thing that you imply is the stigma of homelessness.

I love a good audiobook. I'm interested in getting the audiobook format of this book to hear if the narration of this book. I like that the author tied up all the loose ends by the end of the book. This book is perfect for people who like mystery books.

The simple yet engaging language keeps readers connected, while the character-driven narrative, especially the evolving relationship between Mac and Sadie, adds depth to the story. Thanks for the review.

I haven’t given audiobooks a shot before, so I’m eager to sample this one. I believe it could be a good start considering how simple and flowing the language is. It appears that the author has also included many relevant topics in the story. Congrats on the BOTD!

This is a crime book that talks about how Mac tried to rekindle his relationship with his mother by taking a trip to California to reconnect with her and decided to go on a week's vacation with her at his LA apartment. I like how the language use is simple and the book is character-driven. Nice review.

This books shows that we always need to stay in touch with our loved ones, because we don't know when we are going to loose them, and having these moments of bonding is very important.
