About this listen
There once was a girl with fireflies in her eyes and music in her soul. Remember her... she's important.
She's the reason I panic-bought the little brick house on Maple Street, the one I lived next door to for eight magical years. Now that I'm back digging up floorboards and lost journals, I can't stop thinking about the two people who grew up here.
You see, that girl was my best friend, and this house was once hers. She also had a big brother who was my everything before circumstances turned us into nothing more than memories.
That's why I applied for a job at his auto shop—unprepared to discover that my new boss, Cal Bishop, is now gruff, built, and covered in tattoos.
I'm the sun to his overcast sky. The smile to his surly solitude. A reminder of everything he longs to forget. But my heart has a secret, and we're running out of time to fix our torn pages.
Maybe... the same girl who used to be the glue still holds the key to putting our pieces back together. (See? I told you she was important.)
Toodles,
Lucy

Story
When Cora attends her sister's birthday party, she expects at most a hangover or a walk of shame. She doesn't anticipate a stolen wallet, leaving her stranded and dependent on Dean—her arch nemesis and ultimate thorn in her side. And she really doesn't anticipate waking up in shackles in a madman's basement. To make matters worse, Dean shares the space in his own set of chains. After fifteen years of teasing, insults, and practical jokes, the ultimate joke seems to be on them. The two people who always thought they'd end up killing each other must now work together if they want to survive.

When my husband died, he left my broken heart behind. He left another heart behind, too - his.
I know it's wrong. I shouldn't be contacting the recipient of my husband's heart. I don't even expect him to reply.... But there's a desperate, twisted part of me that hopes he will. No names. No personal details. Just a conversation. The only thing I have left of my husband is inside him.

Want to know what happens to a man who barely claws his way out of a tragedy, only to fall right into the arms of the one girl in the world he can never have? Another tragedy, that's what. When I was six years old, my father made a choice that altered the course of my entire life. Because of what he did, the only girl I ever loved became the only girl I couldn’t have. In a lot of ways, I did have her; I had her first steps, her first words, her first smile. I had her milestones, her heartbreaks, her dreams.

Pine River was supposed to be a new start for me. And it was, especially attending school with my three overprotective cousins, who were the triplets at the top of the social hierarchy. Except they weren’t alone there, and the first day when I came to school, I saw him. Scout Raiden. Tall. Lean. Tattooed. Mesmerizing. He was a golden god with dark and piercing eyes—looking like he wanted to eat me up. The feeling was mutual, and that was a problem.

Rule number one for having a one-night stand: Don’t fall for the girl. After a lengthy dating slump, I finally met someone who sparked my interest. Well, first the sparks flew when we argued. Later in the evening those sparks ignited into something more. I was drawn to Devyn, in a way I hadn’t felt in a really long time. Needless to say, I was disappointed when she abruptly left after our amazing night together. I couldn’t stop thinking about her. But she hadn’t even given me her number. In a city with eight-million people, I figured I’d never see Devyn again.

What's worse than having Rider Kingston, the star quarterback, give you the big brushoff because he doesn't want to get serious? You'd probably think living across the street from him where you get a firsthand view of his hookups, right? That's what I thought. Until someone drops off a baby with a note pinned to her blanket that says one of those jocks - either Rider or one of his roommates - is the father. The problem? Baby mama doesn't mention which of these numbskulls is the sperm donor. I wouldn't care about their paternity problems - except my brother lives there too.

Instead of partying, I’m skating, flipping ollies over guys who loved to underestimate me. Then I started college, met a wild girl who I would soon call my best-friend, had my first drunk one-night stand, left my phone at his house, and then, when I finally managed to meet my mom’s new boyfriend, I found out that my one-night stand was now my new stepbrother.

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.

Story
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.

Story
Want to know what happens to a man who barely claws his way out of a tragedy, only to fall right into the arms of the one girl in the world he can never have? Another tragedy, that's what. When I was six years old, my father made a choice that altered the course of my entire life. Because of what he did, the only girl I ever loved became the only girl I couldn’t have. In a lot of ways, I did have her; I had her first steps, her first words, her first smile. I had her milestones, her heartbreaks, her dreams.

It’s what we’ve always wanted—what we have always dreamed of—and nothing will stand in the way of achieving success. Except maybe me.

She is everything I never knew I wanted or needed. But falling for Mia might cost us everything we’ve worked so hard for. Do I sacrifice my band member’s dreams and chase her, or will Mia be the one thing that is more important than any stage I have ever dreamed of?

He told me that he’d destroy me. I knew he wasn’t lying, and I loved him anyway. I believed in love - in him. I just wasn’t prepared to carry the weight of his demons. I wanted forever with him, but life showed me love was temporary, and forever was a dream. Despite everything that happened, even now, I wouldn’t change any of it. For a love to have the capacity to destroy you, it has to be extraordinarily powerful - and that kind of love is impossible to walk away from.

We were friends, she and I. Best friends. It was easy, simple, and comfortable; that was our dynamic. We had a system, an understanding, an unspoken arrangement. We were there for each other through thick and thin. We had an unbreakable bond. Nobody understood our friendship. Because a guy and a girl couldn’t just be best friends without emotions getting involved, right? Without noticing, everything shifted, and I was experiencing all these new feelings....

We were from two completely different worlds: I was molded to follow the rules; I was the good girl living the sheltered life at St. Mary's Boarding School. But fate brought us together. Somewhere along the way, following the rules became a choice. The lines became blurred, and I was given a taste of rebellion in a package of wild blue eyes and hot, lingering touches. Our plan was set. I would escape St. Mary's, and he would stay. Isaiah warned me that we'd go up in flames if we veered from our plan. Except there was no we about it. Isaiah Underwood let me fall right into the ashes.

Love the storyline.
I love the story. Well written. I love it enough to pay for book 2. The female voice is good, but I’m not a huge fan of the guy’s voice for this character. Based on the description and the female’s interpretation his voice should definitely be deeper for this role.

Slow development
I had to keep pushing through this book for book club. It was so nagging to me what the mysterious reason was that they couldn’t be together and then BAM end of part one!
I wasn’t a fan of the person reading the book as her voice for Cal wasn’t what I was envisioning,part 2 sample reading was better.

JH does it again!!
In true Jennifer Hartmann fashion, she nails it once again. The ending of this story had me on the edge of my seat and immediately diving into the next book….I’m glad I didn’t have to wait because that was a brutal cliffy. The history between these two characters is still unfolding but what has been revealed already has me scrambling for the answers! This story is beautiful so far and I’m rooting for an HEA after all this built up and angst!

Loved the Story-Didn’t Love the Female Narrator
I read this book last year and absolutely loved the story. I think Jennifer Hartmann writes beautiful, emotional stories. With that being said, I had a very hard time with the female narrator. In my opinion, she pronounced her vowels oddly. I also could not find the right speed to listen to it. Every time she said a word with an “O” in it, I would cringe. I also don’t think she used the same voice for Lucy consistently. It really took me out of the story. It’s definitely a book I would read again, but not one I would listen to again.

perfection in my humble opinion ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
you ever get through a book and wish you could experience it for the first time all over again? That's what I feel this moment. Grumpy Sunshine at its finest... childhood friends who lose touch after a pivotal event that rocks their lives and pulls them apart... after searching for years she finds him again and there is our beginning.
This story holds your heart from beginning to end. so much angst, so much laughter, so much heartbreak. it ends on a cliffhanger but gives you a sneak peek at the first chapter book 2. The writing and narration are brilliant.
Books that gives you the same feels...
reminiscent of "a thousand boy kisses" by Tilly Cole or "Brightside" by Kim holden.. both great books you need to read if you loved this one. ❤

Heartbreakingly beautiful story of love and loss.
I read/ listen to audiobook frequently (128 audiobooks in 2023) and I have a feeling this duology will be in my top 10. Jennifer Hartman delivers another story you won’t forget. Your heart will break for Lucy and Cal but the hints at what could be for them will keep you going. The story thus far (book 1/2) is a solid 5 stars. Overall I enjoyed the narration done by Gabriel Spires & Charlotte Claremont. My only critique is that I wish there was more change up between the narrators when the MC were speaking. As it is when we are in Lucy’s POV Charlotte is narrating both for Lucy and Cal. Although Charlottes male voice is not terrible I wish we could hear Gabriel speak for Cal regardless of who’s POV we are in and vice versa for Cals POV. Overall this was an incredible story and great audiobook. I have already preordered the next book ‘A Pessimist’s guide to love”.

This is good!
🚨Spoilers🚨
This book has you wondering the entire book is what happened to Emma and what is Lily medical condition.. it leaves you on a major cliff hanger. Cal is soooo in love with her but trying his absolute best to keep her at arms length to save himself again. I love how innocent Lily is and she is just so odd about things she should know by now. I literally cannot wait to get to the next book so this review is short.
Off to the next 📖 book in the series ‼️‼️‼️

This book way too long to get to a point. I can't suffer through to book 2. There was so much potential in the story but it was way too drawn out.

Some funny parts
Lucy is funny, chaotic, and likable for the first half of the book. The mixed signals thrown at Cal, her constant reflecting of her two friends is overdone.
The female narrator is horrible. Her pronunciation of some words is grating on the nerves. It’s almost like she’s attempting to pattern her speech after another talented narrator, and at times attempts a UK pronunciation of words with an American accent and fails.
She made this book/audiobook worse than the story alone.
