FTC: I received a free copy of this book from Audiobookworm in exchange for my honest review. I received no other compensation and the opinions expressed in this review are one hundred percent true and my own.

A Texan Goes to Nirvana by Kelly Jackson took me a few chapters to get into but once I was hooked I listen to the rest of it pretty quickly. I loved that the author narrated her own book because it makes it seem like the actual characters are doing the talking. I liked Wendy right from the start of the book. She always left me with a smile on my face as I was listening to this book. I also loved that she was a place in order to become a yoga instructor but she still smokes and drinks in secret throughout the entire book. She was always saying or doing something that left me smiling as I was listening. I also loved all of the characters that she met as she was going along. There was a small mystery aspect to this book but it was secondary to the story it was just enough to keep me interested to not to over the top like some of the other books that I have read. I would recommend this book to anyone who is looking for something that will leave you smiling when the book is finished. It also was only just over 4 hours so I was able to get through it in just a couple of days.

Yoga has finally come off her high horse to reveal doubters, sufferers, and cynics. This is the story of one woman’s comic misadventures at the ashram from hell.

Wendy Tate finds herself at a yoga ashram for teacher training, which sounds like a nice, new adventure to her. She’ll have to put on a nicotine patch and give up her daily 5 pm martini. Pish Posh. What could happen? Little does she know, there are characters in and out of the ashram that turn her goals inside out, but she gets to keep her healthy skepticism.

About The Author

Kelly Jackson

Kelly Jackson is a SAG/AFTRA-affiliated actor and comedienne, and as such, she loves idealizing characters in the books that she narrates. Kelly and her sister are also bloggers known as The Midlife Gals Gone Gray. That’s how this whole thing got started. They choose a topic and then annihilate it through two hilariously disparate points of view. Kelly wrote a book, A Texan Goes to Nirvana, and wanted to narrate it herself. That’s how that got started. When not writing and narrating, Kelly has a ‘death grip on the control panel’ as a Senior Executive Assistant/Girl Friday to CEOs. Although a Texan by birth, Kelly and her sister live in Hawaii and enjoy a regular yoga practice, movies, swimming and oddbody watching at nearby beaches. Aloha! Proud member of SAG/AFTRA
