Once In Every Life

Once in Every Life by Kristen Hannah—

Amazon Description:

“Tess Gregory's brilliant career as a research scientist hides her longings for husband and child. Though deaf, she is a free spirit -- a woman full of life and love. She is struck down all too soon. But for Tess, a new life begins at her death, in post-Civil War America. She is now Amarylis Rafferty, wife and mother of three -- and she can hear. Shocked and disoriented by her new surroundings, she is drawn into the savage heartache burdening the family, especially her husband, Jack, a man who fears himself capable of anything.”

My Thoughts:

Ewwwwww….this book is just bad. First thing—very slow moving. Second thing—time travel to meet your soul mate. Yuck. Third thing—the male character was incredibly weak. I prefer an alpha male lead. This guy was one of the weakest, most pathetic male characters I’ve come across in a very long time! Fourth thing—the female wasn’t engaging either. And fifth—the entire story line was just ridiculous. So, overall, this book was a waste of time… I definitely do not recommend.
