About this listen

A tragic accident changes LeAnn DeLuca's life forever. After she loses the one she loves most, depression controls her life, and the only escape she finds is when she dances. However, after years of suffering, she grows tired of the life she leads and asks for help from an unlikely source.

After receiving the gift, LeAnn and her best friend board a cruise ship for destinations unknown. The mystery vacation may take her somewhere she's not ready to go, but she must face it when her second chance takes center stage.

Will LeAnn find her way back to her old, happy, adventurous self? Will she discover she's once again living?

To date I have to say this is my favorite book by Elaine Marie. I can relate to this storyline, I know her pain how hard it is to move on, how brave it was for her to get on that ship and not forget but take that step into the unknown life ahead.
Tor and Charley did a fantastic job telling this story.

They say time heals all wounds. I admire how she over came her loss of her husband. I am glad she allowed herself the chance to feel love again. I am so glad she allowed herself to heal before moving on. This really had me in my feels.

This audiobook had constant emotion and description in the narration, though the beginning felt overly dramatic. For example, it starts out really intense to describe a walk. I do like the different narrators for different points of view especially later in the book when the points of view shifted frequently. I didn't like it when it when one characters' thoughts changed voices and it really caught me off guard the first time the other voice abruptly cut in in during a memory.

One of the reasons I chose this book is because I like cruises, but I think that turned out to be a disadvantage. The settings were great for the purposes of the story, but many details that distracted me. For example, only Disney cruises go to Castaway Cay and while Disney cruises do have R rated entertainment, they don't have exotic dancers so she wasn't on a Disney cruise. I've also never carried a wallet around a cruise ship (things were free or charged to the room). I think it's fine to alter details for the sake of the story, but I just would have enjoyed it more if I hadn't known those things.

The story itself included a lot of descriptions and even more thoughts. Lots and lots of thoughts. And feelings. And steamy day dreams. I think it started with about an hour of set up to understand how LeAnn feels at the beginning of the story and there were still 45 minutes remaining when it seemed like the story would be ending. The actual events in the story could be summed up very quickly.

I would recommend Living to readers who want to feel the emotions of the story instead of the events.
