“Not So Little Things” by Kyle Ann Robertson is a captivating audiobook that delves into the complexities of family dynamics and the power of communication. The story follows Tina Edwards, a 33-year-old miniature room artist, who is still haunted by the memory of her father’s sudden death and her mother’s abandonment.

The author’s writing is engaging and well-paced, with a strong focus on character development and emotional depth. The narrator’s performance is also excellent, bringing the characters to life with her clear and expressive voice.

One of the standout aspects of this audiobook is its exploration of the impact of miscommunications and misperceptions on family relationships. The story shows how these misunderstandings can lead to unwarranted pain and separation, and how confronting them can lead to healing and closure.

The audiobook is also full of vivid descriptions of the Victorian mansion and its intricate details, which will transport listeners to a different time and place.

5/5 stars

This was a wonderful story. It’s so beautifully complicated. I could relate so well to it. After my stepfather passed, I found out things weren’t what I thought they were. That really hurt, I thought he was my world. I lost my mom to pancreatic cancer. It’s amazing how much we can relate. I found the characters to be unique and entertaining. Their personalities really showed through. Every personality had so much to work with and on. I really ended up having to listen to this story in virtually one sitting because I was totally drawn it. I found the narration to be good. It’s a story worth using that credit on.

Not So Little Things by Kyle Ann Robertson
Narrated by Carrie Brewer
This was a new author and narrator for me. I absolutely was not expecting how great and interesting this story played out. I enjoyed the “Little Rooms” and Quote wall. The twists in the truths coming to light brilliant. I’m definitely putting this author on my to be read list.
Carrie Brewer really brought this story to life with her narration. It was very soothing to listen to.

Tina Edwards is my kind of person. She loves building fairy houses, just like her father did. When her father passed away, Tina’s mother took off. Leaving her with her aunt. Now that Tina is grown and running her own miniature room business. Things she once knew are changing, the secrets are coming out and everything she once knew is no longer. While at the same time she is working on rooms for an old Victorian home. The author of this story has a great way of writing stories. They captured my interest in chapter 1 and kept me listening to the end. So much going on in this story and yet kept my interest. I am looking forward to reading more from this author. Her stories are well written.

This is my first audio by this author which I enjoyed listening to.  This is a mystery story about Tina and her determination to figure out if stories from the past are true.  Plus Tina’s mother reenters Tina’s life and has her own secrets to tell.  I enjoyed this story and how the narrator brought the story to life with different tones of voices.  This is an easy book to listen to and had me wanting to know more.  An engaging audio with characters that are connectable and make the story for me.  I look forward to listening to another audiobook by this author in the future.  I highly recommend this book.

Not So Little Things

The Fairy houses were enough to convince me to listen to Tina’s story. While they were an important part of her story there was so much including some surprises which I never saw coming.

Tina held onto some very important memories from her childhood with her daddy. Those memories lead her down a career path with her best friend. Though it’s not super successful in the beginning she sees things shift after a meeting with a client amongst other things.

Doors open and shut all the way through. I loved the memories of Tina and her daddy, made me think of mine and miss him more than normal.

There are so many things I enjoyed about this book, the narration only added to the it. I found myself getting lost in the story instead of what I should have been doing.

At the age of nine years old, TINA EDWARDS finds her mother MARY JANE EDWARDS smoking a cigarette, sitting across from her beloved dead father JONATHAN EDWARDS. Tina adored her father, embracing the time he spent with her building fairy villages under the pecan trees in their backyard. Her mother disappears after selling her family home in the foothills of the North Georgia mountains and leaves Tina with her father’s sister, her wheelchair-bound AUNT LIDDY EDWARDS. Tina leaves for college, majors in Art History, and specializes in creating dollhouse-sized replicas of historic rooms in homage to her beloved father. All the while, Tina believes her mother has something to do with her father’s death.
Tina establishes her niche business in the world of miniatures with her best friend NISSA, Tina’s own Jiminy Cricket. When Mary Jane shows up with family secrets after 22 years of absence and dying of lung cancer. Tina reluctantly allows her mother to move in during her treatments and Mary Jane brings along BELLA, her caregiver and companion.
Tina believes she has betrayed the memory of her father and avoids Mary Jane when handsome businessman/restaurateur Mr. JAKE MARTIN hires Tina to replicate the original rooms of his family’s mansion turned B&B. Tina discovers more than the businessman cares to know about his family. Having been fueled by tales from the past, he believes he must accept his lineage, but chooses to ignore it. When Nissa discovers family unknown to Jake and his mother, they find out the stories from the past were unfounded and become reunited with that side of the family, proving that miscommunications passed down through families create unwarranted, painful separations, echoing Tina’s life story.
Because Tina gradually learns the truth about her father’s death, she must let go of all her childhood beliefs and perceptions. Johnathan had a heart attack while informing Mary Jane that he was filling for divorce, moving to DC, and planning on taking Tina with him. Mary Jane was not going to allow Jonathan to take Tina away from Aunt Liddy and threatened to tell the world his secret- that he is the one ultimately responsible for putting Liddy in her wheelchair as well as the death of Tina’s birth father. Tina reels from the news that Jonathan was not her father but her Uncle and Mary Jane, the mother she grew up despising, is not her mother but her aunt who actually sacrificed everything to keep Tina with her rightful birth mother, Liddy. Tina forfeits all her childhood beliefs, the ones she has based every one of her adult choices on, to become as strong as the women who raised her when she realizes the decisions made by her mother, father, and aunt throughout her childhood were all made, and held in secrecy, in the name of love and protection.
