This is a book that the publisher sent me for the Gateway Award committee I’m on. I’d wanted to read it since before it was published, but never got around to it. I actually ended up downloading the audiobook from the library and listening to it. It was as good as I had hoped it would be. The only issue I had is how she gave up on the relationship at the end, even though I know that it is a normal type of dramatic bit for the final thing to overcome. But in the end there was the HEA that we all want! We even got a bit of an epilogue that I thought was perfect! The narrators were good. Although the female narrator was a little slow so I sped it up, and the male narrator was good, but didn’t sound like a teenage boy to me.
