A Week's Worth is a fictional mystery book by Thyme Lewis. It consists of fifty-six chapters that follow Mac, a former Navy officer now working with FEMA, as he tries to rekindle his relationship with his mother after hearing some troubling news about her.
The book opens with Mac returning from the field only to hear a week-late message that his mother had a heart attack from his sister. Mac decides to take the trip to California to reconnect with his mother by going on a week's vacation with her at his LA apartment. However, it is not all smooth sailing as he must deal with her weight issues. This all occurs in the backdrop of a pandemic and a disturbing homeless epidemic. There is also the issue of his apartment's annoying new management, and as if that was not enough, for some reason, people keep turning up dead around them! How will Mac navigate these issues and rebuild his bond with his mother? Find out in this intriguing book.
There is so much to like about the book. I appreciate the language used throughout the book. It was very simple, devoid of complex terms, and hence very easy to follow. The narrator has a rather relaxing voice which made the listening experience good. I also like the little accents he does. The book is very character driven. The dynamic between Mac and Sadie is the central focus of most of the book, and we get to watch both characters slowly evolve into better versions of themselves.
The author does an excellent job of discussing issues like homelessness, hinting at some of the reservations people have about these people. My favorite part has to be the fifty-fifth chapter. The reveal there had my jaw dropping for a good minute. It was well put together, tying up a lot of loose ends in a logical manner. Overall, it was a lovely novel, and its ending made it a great read for me.
I found no negative issues with the book. I found only one error in the book. So, the book was professionally edited. Therefore, I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars. I found the book interesting and a bit heartwarming, and I learned a bit about empathy from it. I was satisfied with the book, and as a result, I could not rate it any lower.
I recommend this book to lovers of mystery and suspense novels. Since it's an audiobook, lovers of audiobooks would enjoy this book too.

My actual experience of a pandemic and the socio-economic effects it has left behind, connect my interest to the deep and realistic plot summary, depicted by this review. I am intrigued that the soulful messages and mystery in this book is crafted in a simple expression of language use. I find this a rarity in today's writings, as we often tend look to express ourselves and our messages with such complexity which does not always succeed in a wide audience reach.
