About this listen
THE USA TODAY BESTSELLER!
“Perfect for fans of Abby Jimenez, Kennedy Ryan, and Carley Fortune (aka me).”–Emily Henry
“Beautifully blending beloved tropes and smooth, often lyrical prose… Two lovers navigate challenges related to mental health, racial identity, grief, and a chronic illness”–NPR
Lifelong best friends spend a fateful summer discovering what might happen if they were to be something more in this radiant, heart-clenching adult debut.
Laniah Thompson is a homebody who craves privacy. Issac Jordan is internet famous and spends his days followed by paparazzi. She runs a small business with her mom in her hometown. He runs an international brand.
And they’ve been best friends since childhood.
When Issac comes home to Providence for the first time in months and discovers Laniah’s dream is slipping out of reach as she and her mom struggle to pay the bills at Wildly Green, their natural hair store, she refuses to take a dime from him. And so, he does what any self-respecting best friend would do: tells the world they’re dating.
Suddenly business is booming, and Laniah agrees to his ridiculous plan to pretend to be lovers for the course of the summer. Just long enough to catch the eye of an investor and get her dream back on track, like she helped him do so many years ago, he reminds her.
Too soon, though, Laniah knows she’s playing with fire, because for as long as they’ve been friends there’s an undeniable pull they’ve never given in to. And as the lines between art and life—real and pretend—blur, it becomes harder and harder to see where friendship ends and something else begins....
Told over the course of three sizzling summer months, A Love Like the Sun is about shared history, those who make us our bravest selves, and love in its many forms.
"Dazzling, tender, and romantic."—Carley Fortune

When her biggest investor orders Josie to hire a consultant, the last person she expects to be working with is Will Grant—the twin brother of her ex–best friend. Sure, Will and Josie may have shared one mistake of a kiss during senior spring break ten years ago, but they’ve never been friends. She remembers him as moody; he always thought of her as shallow. Romance isn’t on the table for either of them until they blink.

Ali Morris is a professional organizer whose own life is a mess. Her mom died two years ago, then her husband left, and she hasn’t worn pants with a zipper in longer than she cares to remember. No one is more surprised than Ali when the first time she takes off her wedding ring and puts on pants with hardware—overalls count, right?—she meets someone. Or rather, her dog claims a man for her, in the same way he claimed his favorite of her three children: by peeing on him. Ethan smiles at Ali like her pants are just right—like he likes what he sees.

Welcome to Honey Creek, Illinois, where life was as sweet as the town's name suggested. That was until Mr. Fine Dining himself, Alex Ramírez, rolled into town with a permanent scowl.

After one too many unpleasant interactions, I was determined to stay out of his way and to keep him out of mine. But fate had a quirky sense of humor.

After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

Heartfelt, Breathtaking, Intense Love Energy.
I loved the performance! I have had a difficult time getting back into audiobooks. I had seen this title come across my screen from some of the book reviews that I follow. From the beginning the narrators voice captured me and then drove me head first into this wonderfully intoxicating experience of lifelong friends becoming more. I was annoyed in the beginning by the slow burn build up. However, I realised later that it added to Laniah and Issac’s experiences. I greatly appreciate the author shedding light on the importance of not ignoring symptoms and trusting your instincts when you are in pain and not feeling well. Especially for women of color.

Childhood best friends to lovers
I never thought I was a huge fan of friends to lovers but the more books I read like that, it is quickly proving to be a favorite.
In this one you get fake dating that turns these childhood friends into lovers and damn if that aint a recipe for a good time.
Laniah and Isaac, ilysm. For real. This story is so swoony and steamy and just so real. Laniah is just trying to get by and in scoops Issac who is like, ‘yeah babe is nbd, you I can pretend to be your guy and I can make all your dreams come true.’ OH OKAYYYY! Safe to say, Issac really sold the fake relationship.
There's a whole lot more to this story though, with all that swoony romance we also get some pretty heavy shit- past trauma and current health issues. None of it felt glossed over, rather it made this story so much more tangible as so much of it was relatable.
Need a good romance that isn't really a ‘summer read’? Pick this one up, it's wonderful!
