Accountant and financial advisor Lacey Chamberlain doesn't consider herself a control freak. She's merely a planner-orderly, neat, and content in her tidy little life. When a marketing firm moves into the empty office next door, the loud-music-playing, stinky-food-ordering, kickball-in-the-hall staff make Lacey crazy. Marketing expert Alicia Wright is spontaneous, flies by the seat of her pants, and lives in the moment-all the things Lacey is not. She's also gorgeous, thoughtful, and seems determined to make Lacey like her. They say opposites attract, but for how long? And is that really a good idea?

Editorial reviews
When American airspace was closed on 9/11, many planes already in the air were directed to an unlikely location: Gander, Newfoundland. This remote Canadian town is the backdrop for renowned lesbian romance writer Georgia Beers' riveting story 96 Hours. Stage and screen actress Romy Nordlinger richly voices the emotional turmoil of Erica Ryan and Abby Haynes, very different women who wind up stranded in Gander against the backdrop of terrorist-inflicted tragedy. Inevitably, the two form a deep bond - one that may or may not last past this traumatic, history-making 96 hours.

beautiful book
I started this last night. I meant to listen to a few chapters before going to sleep. But I couldn't stop listening. I just one more chapter'd it until the book was finished. It brought back all the sadness and unexpected beauty that occurred during that tragic time. I'm old enough to remember every detail of that day, and remember the amazing stories of love and kindness humanity displayed. As written so beautifully in this book, how the tragedy changed us. Brought out the best in so many people. Loved it.

Don't miss this one
I'm so glad Georgia Beers submitted this to Audible Plus. I frankly would not have purchased it, or any of her books, tbh, if I hadn't found her through this catalogue. But this one has me sold. Unlike the two puppy love I listened to, she nailed the denoument in this one. This story was interesting, important, heartwarming, and well paced. There was one episode of poor behavior I found cringey, but I'm glad I stuck with it after that.

Feels like a love story
Unlike many works about LGBT characters, this book felt like a normal drama romance. It wasnt about coming out, or overly erotic. It read like a normal cheesy straight romance novel. It may have been predictable and silly but it was well written and it felt awesome to have representation that fit in with straight representation and didnt make me feel like an outcast. I absolutely would recommend this book.

Good Story, Mediocre Narration
The story is good enough to warrant a read, but I felt the narration of the story left something to be desired. I think I have been spoiled by a couple really amazing narrators that I have heard lately (Abby Craden, Mia Chiaromonte) and perhaps my expectations are now too high! I just found the narrator's voice somewhat grating at times. Not a total deal breaker though... Personally, I liked Beers' other audiobook "Too Close To Touch" better for both the story and narration. Overall, I would rate this audiobook a 3.5, but since I can't do half stars, I am being generous and rounding up to 4 stars.

WOW!!!
Makes you look at the 9/11 tragedy from a different perspective and how it changed people.

OK book bad narration.
The story itself of meeting in Gander directly following attacks in 9/11 was interesting. I enjoyed Erica's development. She owned her flaws/behavior and changed. Although Abby seemed to change too she never seemed to take ownership of her flaws/behavior. Basically I don't feel like Abby ever really understood how careless she was. Plus even to the last seen of the book made Erica out to be rigid or closed off thinking she was going to react a certain way when in fact it has been her being clueless. If she didn't know how Erica would feel about it by that point she wasn't paying attention. Still being careless with Erica's feelings.
The narrator was not very good. at times I couldn't tell who was speaking and her voice didn't fit the characters.
This is just mho. I don't leave lots of reviews but the character of Abby really irritated me and the narration was not very good. I would recommend if you want to read this book actually read it and skip the audible version.

Poor Choice of Narrator for this Story
The narrator was fine. But her voice sounded like an older person, so it really threw the story off for me. The story itself was pretty good.

Excellent Listen
Woven around a very typical lesbian romance novel the author relates the story of the people of Gander, Newfoundland in the aftermath of 9/11. During the 24/7 coverage at the time one of the great stories that was either unknown or overlooked was the way that the natives of the small Canadian town opened their hearts, their homes and their town; to the planes diverted there when US air space was closed. To see more about those events and the 96 hours in question check out YouTube's "A yellow Ribbon, Gander."
The romance was the stock girl meets girl, they find a reluctant growing attraction, they fight it; then finally act on it. The good feelings are lost; they part, both are upset. Then by an act of fate they're brought back together, their hearts soar the music plays and they walk off into the sunset together. Ms. Beers is a good writer and despite the predictability of the plot you're drawn in.
I highly recommend this book if for no other reason than the background story about Gander, and I thank my daughter for introducing me to this author.
