Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I discovered SEP about a year ago and haven't stopped reading and/or listening to her books ever since. Her books are humorous, heartwarming and Oh SO fun. One can not listen to a Susan Elizabeth Phillips book without laughing out loud (always odd when your driving alone), shedding a few tears and rooting for the hero/heroine from beginning to end. Needless to say the narration of SEP's books by Anna Fields only adds to the overall experience and joy. I look forward to reading SEP postings on Facebook and her website. I love that she shares her everyday joys, angst and life with Mr. Bill. When SEP announced her release of "Heroes are My Weakness" I pre-ordered my copy immediately on audible.com Last night I counted the minutes until midnight and as the clock struck 12 I had my download. Yippe, Yippe,Yea, Yea. With high hopes and even higher expectations I began to listen; this is where it went south. The storyline is dark and humorless. Annie's fascination and her constant inner chatter with her "puppets" is kind of creepy. Between the puppets, the bunko club and the non endearing cast of characters I was distracted and lost interested quickly. With that said I am not ready to give up on this book…yet. If you are new to SEP, the Chicago Stars series, Natural Born Charmer, First Lady and Fancy pants is the way to go. SEP I will always be a fan, this one just didn't do it for me.
