Thank you to PRH Audio for a complimentary copy of the audio of this! 

Sigh - I think this is a case where it’s not you, it’s me. I think what made it hard for me was that the narrators selected sounded older than the age that is presented in the book. The narrators themselves are fine and I think they would be great if the characters were in their 20s but not teenagers. I thought maybe I would get used to it but it was hard.  

Voices aside, the story was really cute! I thought the representation was beautifully done & love that we got both Celine and Bradley's POV. I love how that they grew up as best friends but then as they got older drifted apart. Then an accident happened and they were back in each other's lives due to Bradley's guilty for causing the accident. 

I haven't read any of Talia's other work but I know she is beloved and I can see why others love her work so much.
