About this listen

Kaat is ready to marry her girlfriend Stone. They live together in Paris, are both pursuing their careers, and have even talked about having a baby. Then a motorcycle accident disrupts Kaat's plans, and she is confronted by flaws in their seemingly perfect life and a secret that could destroy everything.

I guess finding true love on the back of a motorcycle might be a crazy thing to do.

I don't mean that as a "reader beware" it anything. There were just a number of times during the story where I got taken out of it because it felt like it was focusing on the wrong things. For example, at the end (after what I'd call the climax, but not quite at the denouement proper), Kaat thinks about losing her virginity to a young man and deriving absolutely no joy from the experience. It's not outright distasteful, but it's mostly out of nowhere and feels gross because there's some minor dubcon to it. And the only reason I can imagine the author felt including this at that time (or any time) is their assumption that that moment must have had profound impact upon her life. Perhaps it does for some lesbians. Maybe a lot of lesbians, I don't know. What I do know is that men essentially never need women to be hurt like this in their stories, and yet it seems a curious prerequisite. It's just extra weird in a story about love without men involved. Please stop this. (Again, this wasn't the only moment, but it sticks out the most.)

Most expressions of passion between the two main women worked for me, though. It's wonderfully read, too.

This book started off not bad but then it just went down hill from there. It was becoming predictable after it started but the ending was not what I expected. It was straight horrible story telling and completely irrational.

Don't do it.

The blandness of this no story novella leaves me wondering why I wasted my time listening to it.

Waste of time

The story dragged me in by my thumbs and when it was done my heels were planted wanting more.

Wish it was longer

I am just sort of baffled by the whole experience. The story had so much potential and just crashes and burns with like 20 min left. I am unsure what lesson I am supposed to take from this ending. I didn't need it to be happy but idk how the ending solves anything. There is so much unresolved. Was she truely straight the whole time? Seems beyond doubtful.

Olive Oil and White Bread broached this whole "post happy ever after" topic much better.

You had me in the first half, not gonna lie

There's so much in this short story that I barely know where to begin my review. It's about the stories we tell ourselves versus reality. It's about love, and avoidance. And it's about escape, and about seeking connection. It's surprising, and wonderful, deep and thought-provoking, and I highly recommend it for a quick read that will stay with you a while.

Wonderfully surprising short story

#1 Men should never write lesfic
#2 this book was awful, the story didn’t flow and the ending didn’t make any sense at all
#3 literally nothing in this story made a lick of sense to be honest

Don’t waste your time

This was a horribly written story. It is hard to write an accurate review without giving the story away but here goes. The protagonist and antagonist do nothing this whole story. They barely even speak. I did not know what was going on and why they behaved the way they did because the writer had action but not the purpose behind why it was happening. In order to get a whole picture, the reader has to come up with the storyline themselves to have it make sense.

No beginning, no climax, and no ending.

I have so many words yet no words at all. What Did I even listen to. I’m so confused as to what even really happened. And why did the characters barely talk????

Umm…
