About this listen

Seventeen years ago, Quinn McKinley left her small town of Kingsford for a shot at a happier life. Now a successful real estate agent in New York City, she's brought back on behalf of a client, begrudgingly accepting her return home in order to close the deal of a lifetime.

Coming back opens doors she's done her best to keep closed all these years, namely, how she felt about her childhood best friend, Sawyer Kent.

Sawyer's spent her whole life in Kingsford, working at her family's antique store and trying to make everyone happy. Quinn's return is unexpected, knocking her routine existence more than a little off balance. She's still frustrated at how Quinn left things between them, and even if she has all kinds of unresolved feelings, she's got bigger problems to worry about right now.

Contains mature themes.

It’s okay

The whole book is about two characters who love each other but never get together until the last chapter… I would’ve rather read a book that had more to it than that.

Subverted my expectations.

Surprisingly didn't fall into a lot of expected tropes. It was less misunderstanding or lie driven and more down to earth and relatable. it was just two people who weren't ready yet, and that's fine. Also they didn't blame the person who left a bad situation like some books do. So I give it credit, it did things better than other books with a similar plot.

Addictive!

I can’t complain too much when I binge-listened the story in a week during my work day commutes and free evening hours : )

As some of the lower reviews implied - yes, there were parts of the story the bothered me (I’ll include those below with a spoiler alert),

However, I have absolutely no complaints overall. It was a fresh storyline I’ve never heard before with a solid ending.

SPOILER ALERT!!! (Don’t continue reading before you finish this awesome book)

- I did struggle with idea that Quinn was ready to give up on true love over Realtor Ethics…like chick just sell the house and then get back to bae!

- at the end, was Charles (I think that was his name) dating Sawyer’s “Danielle” aka Dani? That would have been an interesting twist!

- there’s a lot of internal dialogue that sometimes dragged along. I still listened though!

Again, great story that made me subscribe to Audible because apparently Spotify has audiobook limits. f those guys. But read / listen to this book for a fresh love story.

A Wonderful Romance

This is a perfect blend of romance and overcoming adversity. Great character development and narrative tone. The performance by Lori Prince was superb as always.

Loved it

Lori Prince is one of those narrators that bring a book to life, but she can’t do it if the book is not well written, and this one is very well written I loved the MC and the story line.

quite wonderful

an incredible mix of sweet, hot and endearing, nicely balanced. the perfect levels of detail and rhythm, nothing felt rushed or dragged out. it sums up as a lovely HEA full of friendship and warm, relatable characters, with no over-the-top hand wringing or unnecessary drama. add Ms. Prince's vocal perfection and aural character delineation to Ms. McCallan's superb storytelling? it all makes for my best listen in years.
