À propos de ce titre

From the author of Happiness for Beginners comes an unforgettable audiobook about finding joy even in the darkest of circumstances.

Margaret Jacobsen is just about to step into the bright future she’s worked for so hard and so long: a new dream job, a fiancé she adores, and the promise of a picture-perfect life just around the corner. Then, suddenly, on what should have been one of the happiest days of her life, everything she worked for is taken away in a brief, tumultuous moment.

In the hospital and forced to face the possibility that nothing will ever be the same again, Maggie must confront the unthinkable. First there is her fiancé, Chip, who wallows in self-pity while simultaneously expecting to be forgiven. Then, there's her sister Kit, who shows up after pulling a three-year vanishing act. Finally, there's Ian, her physical therapist, the one the nurses said was too tough for her. Ian, who won't let her give in to her pity, and who sees her like no one has seen her before. Sometimes the last thing you want is the one thing you need. Sometimes we all need someone to catch us when we fall. And sometimes love can find us in the least likely place we would ever expect.

How to Walk Away is Katherine Center at her very best—a masterpiece of an audiobook that is both hopeful and hilarious; truthful and wise; tender and brave.

I’m feeling torn about this one. There were parts in this book I really enjoyed. But I also feel like it was - at least in part - a bit too perky. I mean in the last chapter the author went into a full-on motivational speech. It was a bit much.
In so many ways I could not connect with the main character at all. I also felt there was very little chemistry between the main characters. Maybe that was due to the fact that the author heavily relied on “telling” and not so much “showing”. I also got the impression that the author wanted to write a strong female MC but couldn't quite manage because apparently always being well behaved and nice were more important. The author wrote about her character's strength and yet Margaret often behaved like a complete doormat. She never got angry and let people treat her horribly and hardly ever stood up for herself. She just let people walk all over her and accepted bad treatment without a fight - it was so frustrating. And if she ever got angry, she apologized.
Also: why were no legal charges brought against Chip? In a situation like this, shouldn’t there have been some sort of consequences? This, I feel, was a huge oversight by the author, which made the story and the whole relationship with Chip and his family so unrealistic. The question was never even brought up.
And lastly, there were too may side storylines IMO. The story with her sister and parents could have been left out and it still would have been a good story. There were A LOT of tragedies in this book. All in all, it was an interesting book but didn't really draw me in.

it was okay
