Grab Instantly The Weight Of Small Things Planned By Sherri Wood Emmons Presented As Ebook

read this entire book because the story was just interesting enough to keep going, However, it was kind of a hate read, The vast majority of the characters in this book are flat and underdeveloped, Corrie the main character cries on every page! Seriously almost every page ends with her sitting down and crying.
And her love interests are her flat boring husband or her creepy can't take no for an answer ex.
Yuck. Only Bryn and Bob were worth reading about and even then it still felt like a story line from Days of Our Lives.
Herrd published book, but the first one she wrote and you can tell! The other two were well written, and this was not! Don't waste your time.
This book was predictable and I found myself very disappointed in the main character's decisions, But, I understood them. I think that is what is so frightening, The author describes the title as seemingly inconsequential decisions, or nondecisions, adding up and changing us.
I find this concept terrifying and true, Although all worked out in the end, for so many, it doesn't happen that way, I stayed up way to late reading this book, but I couldn't put it down, This was almost a "did not finish" book, but thank you pandemic and quarantine, I have a limited supply of reading material at hand.


I ADORE Emmons writing or more accurately, I absolutely loved the first three books of hers I read and couldn't wait to get to this one.
It was not the same style at all, If you like the standard "chick lit" I hate that term, then this would be fine.
But it was not on the same emotional level as her other three books, Not at all. I finished this in one day, not because it was so riveting, but because I wanted it to end.
And it pretty much ended up exactly as I expected,

When I read her book club suggested questions at the end I found the answer as to why it's so not the same style and depth of her other work although this was published as her third book, she says it was actually the first book she ever wrote years earlier.
You can tell. A lot of maturity came to her writing later, and this would not have kept me coming back for any more of her work.
I dont have too much to say about this one, Not my kind of book, The plot lines were depressing and ridiculous, Hard to take the main character seriously with the name “Coriander Bliss”, I am supposed to believe her mother was prone to whimsy, but mostly she is described as an abusive drunk.
Whats worse than the characters name Her deadbeat exfiance calling her “CorrieAndy”, Maybe its me, but that made me cringe every time I read it, Not sure who this book is for, There is a lot of “kissing on the forehead”, though everyone in the book, it seems, is pregnant.
Everything is neatly tied up in the end, if you like that sort of thing and I might have been happy if I cared about any of the characters, but honestly, I was just glad to finish it.
Corrie seems a bit selfish to me, Sounds like she needs a good psychiatrist instead of a baby or husband, I just really, REALLY did not enjoy this book, Painfully cliche and with NO likeable characters, Will not be reading again, This book was such an easy readI felt like I could never put it down once I picked it up.
Very well written and I loved the story line,stars. Just a little too much drama for me, Slow start, but a great read This has to be one of the dumbest books that I have ever read.
Literally, if I took out every sentence that said "and her eyes teared up," or "she sat down and cried," the book would be half its length.
In every chapter, someone is crying, On almost every page, someone is crying, Like seriously! I did not like a single character in this book except for Bob because he was real, a single father trying to raise his kids, giving his wife multiple chances to prove that she could be a good wife and mother, that is, before she crossed the line.
Bob falls in love with Bryn, who is knocked up by her longtime lover, Paul, Bryn and Bob decide they will raise the baby together, while taking care of Micah and Cody.
Now, Bryn's best friend, Corrie, cheated on her husband, Mark with her exlover, Daniel, That is way too much drama in the book, Mark leaves Corrie, and in the end, Daniel decides to leave his life in California behind to raise their baby.
Way. Too. Much. Drama. The only reason why this book received two is because Emmons knows how to set a scene and bring forth emotions from readers.
Other than that, this book was ridiculous, After about fifty pages into it, I couldn't wait to be done with it, No wonder I bought this book at the dollar store, It is not worth reading, I will never recommend this book to anyone unless they are going through something this stupid in their lives.
What a waste of time, Before this review ends, I just have to note that every chapter ends with an action, pretty much meaning that someone cried.
How boring to end a chapter the same way every time! From the acclaimed author of Prayers and Lies and The Sometimes Daughter comes an emotional, compelling, and ultimately uplifting novel that explores the fragility and resilience of loveand the decisions, large and small, that determine not just who we are, but who we want to be.


Corrie Phillips has an enviable lifeeven if its not quite the one she wanted.
She enjoys working at her university alumni magazine, her house is beautiful, and her husband, Mark, is attentive, handsome, and wealthy.
But after years of frustration and failed attempts, Corrie is desperate for a childand haunted by the choices in her past.


A decade ago, just after college, Corries boyfriend Daniel left town, intent on saving the world even if it meant breaking Corries heart.
Now hes returned, and despite her misgivings, Corrie feels drawn to him again, But the emotions that overwhelm her may put her marriage and her secure, stable life at risk.
Faced with an unexpected choice, Corrie must unravel illusion from reality at last and weigh what she most needs against what her heart has always wanted.
The Weight of Small Things by Sherri Wood Emmons tells the story of Corrie Phillips, Corrie lives a enviable life with her handsome, wealthy husband Mark, The only thing she's missing of course is the baby, When news of Corrie's tenyear reunion arrives so does the arrival of her college exboyfriend, Haunted by the memories of her past she agrees to meet her exboyfriend for better or worse.


I enjoyed this book for the most part, A couple of the characters are quirky and fun, Actually most of them complete each other, For a book that's mainly about the choices we make large or small, I felt that a few of them made bad decisions.
I expected them to make better choices but I understand that in order for the characters to progress and evolve, these bad decisions needed to be made.


Emmons does a great job at character development, I felt that I knew each character and they were all believeable, Even when I was annoyed by them I still cared about how things would turn out.
This is a story about love and how fragile it can be, It's also about the weight of the decisions we do or don't make and how those decisions affect our lives.
If I had to say anything negative about this book it's that I found our protagonist a little ironic.


In conclusion, I felt that this novel is worth a read for all those women's literature lovers.
It's a story about love, fidelity, choices, and forgiveness, It's a quick, smooth read that is engaging and interesting, Corrie has a good life and is happily married, However, she desperately wants a baby, She is haunted by something that happened in her past and fears that God is punishing her now and that's why she isn't getting pregnant.
This is also starting to take a tole on her marriage,

Then in walks Daniel, Corrie's exboyfriend, from ten years ago, She thought she would marry him at one time,

I don't want to say too much to give away what happens, but wrong decisions are made.
What I liked about this book, even as I was shaking my head telling the character that was a bad idea, that they are flawed.
Humans are not perfect, we make mistakes, and this book is filled with those flawed, realistic characters.
People make mistake, and they are okay, the characters turned it around and made the best out of it.


This is the second book I have read by this author, and I think the library had a couple more by her that I will be reading sometime in the future.


More of my book reviews can be found at sitelink blogspot. com/ Made it to pagebut cannot stomach anymore of this book, I hate the characters and the plot is going in a direction I don't care to follow.
My "To Read" list is too long to waste time on a book I am not enjoying.
A bit of soap opera in book form, I didn't feel like it was amazing but I couldn't

put it down, so what do I know! I really loved the author's book, Prayers and Lies, but this one needed some firmer editing.
The main character, Corrie, seemed onedimensional to me, Throughout the book, we spent months with her, but she seemed to have no hobbies or interests.
And all the crying. Every chapter ended with crying, Crying when she was happy crying when she was sad crying when she was lonely, You get the picture. So much crying. This is a story of the choices we make, Some are small, others life changing, How you deal with those choices affects not only ourselves but others, Sadly many of the people in this book are innocent and do not deserve the consequences of the choices of others.


It's about a group of friends all in life changing situations, Some by their choices and others by the choices of loved ones, You find your self yelling, "What are you doing STOP IT DON'T DO IT!" Then they do it anyway! Sometimes I wanted to grab a few of the characters and choke them, then on the next page I wanted to hug them.
It's about forgiveness and moving on, Sometimes you just have to put things in God's hands and have the faith that He will guide you down the right path.
If you are lucky in the end you'll find happiness,

I loved the story, . . then I hated the story, . . then I loved the story and so it was back and forth through out the book.
I just love stories like that, It keeps you turning the pages, I really liked this book and if you have ever experienced life changing choices this book is for you.
Sometimes it's just nice to know you are not alone,
