Publisher's summary
"High school sweethearts, cutest couple, and together forever" were the words that used to describe Amy and Stuart. Now, with college behind them and careers in full swing, they are not the couple they once were. Those happy words have been replaced by separation, disappointment, and drifting apart. As they face the end of their forever, a high school reunion may just be what these two need to rekindle their love.

Story
Obituary writer Nadine Barbault doesn’t mind being called “Lady Death”. It suits the ice queen persona she’s cultivated to survive the fast-paced Toronto Herald. So when Nadine learns that famous (and reclusive) author Dot Voline has died, she doesn’t hesitate to run the obituary…only to discover that Dot is very much alive. Nadine’s screw-up has brought Wesley Chen of the rival Spear no end of joy—she’s been a thorn in his extremely ambitious side for years. But the renewed interest in Dot also surfaced chatter about a mysterious past scandal.

Ryder, Garrett, Kenzo, and Diesel - The Vipers. Their deals are as sordid as their business, and their reputation is enough to bring a grown man to his knees, forcing him to beg for mercy. They are not people you mess with, yet my dad did. The old man ran up a debt with them and then sold me to cover his losses. Yes, sold me. They own me now. I’m theirs in every sense of the word. But I’ve never been meek and compliant.

Story
Romance can be a little complicated when you get sucked into a wormhole. Just ask high school English teacher June Flint. One little solar flare happens and suddenly you find yourself 85 years in the future. Eighty-five years from your dream job. Your ailing mother whose only companion in this world is you. Your favorite stuffed-crust pizza from DeLucia’s on Sunday nights. But when June’s cell phone inexplicably picks up a signal, she’s able to call back to the present—more specifically, four weeks before she accidentally time traveled.

Short Coming of Age-Solid, Well Above Average Work
Throughout high school and college Amy and Stuart were known as "the couple." Now they are living their lives separately. Stuart is the first one to bring up the fact, they are just not happy or possibly even in love anymore. Amy knows that he is right, but what to do about it?
I enjoyed this book that Eryn Scott has written and in the excellent performance by Stephanie Bentley uses to carry the listener on this journey.
This is a wonderful listen. I would put it in the category of Chic Lit … Perfect for an afternoon at the beach or the right length to listen to after everyone has settled in for the night and the reader/listener has a few moments to his or herself.
I was surprised at the amount of material in the storyline, Scott/Bentley do not waste a moment of the 1r 3min time.
NOTE: A few intimate scenes, so I recommend 18 years and older.
*I received this work in exchange for my review; good, bad or meh. I've written all 3 kinds.

Short entertainment
I think this is an extremely relatable short story that helps us all remember to not become sedentary in our lives and our relationships.
Stephanie Bentley did a fantastic job narrating. I don't think I have listened to anything by her before but I will definitely keep my eyes peeled. She had to do a lot of make narration and her voice can change to sound deeper without sounding corny.
Very good short listen. This audiobook was provided to me by the author, publisher or narrator in exchange for my unbiased review through audiobook boom.

Good Short Story
I loved the story. it should be listened to by couples especially those who are contemplating divorce. I was given this book in exchange for an unbiased review via audiobook boom. This couple have been together for a long time and have grown apart and the husbnd wants a separation but he is suffering from something else that has his thinking wrong. They still love each other so what are they to do? Loved the fact that thye made good choices before going to marriage counceling. Liked the narrator as well. The fact that each chapter switched between the two was also a good choice of writing style.

Satisfying novella!
I am a huge fan of short novellas, and this one was extremely well written. Many times, they are too short and do not have good character development. In this case, Eryn Scott has hit a home run. The characters of Amy and Stuart come to us at the age of 28. They have settled into married life after being high school sweethearts and Stuart has asked for a separation. Amy is shocked by the request, but knows things have not been good between them. The two reflect on their relationship over a period of time and both end up at their high school reunion. There, Amy and Stuart are able to talk about missing each other, what was going wrong and how to fix the problems, starting fresh and keeping things that way. I especially liked that they were both open to counseling as well. A little angst, a little sadness and a lot of happiness, this novella brought it all.
Stephanie Bentley was the narrator of this book. It is the first time I have heard her, and absolutely loved her voice. She has a good range for both male and female characters and was very pleasant to listen to.

A very sweet short story
Would you listen to Like We Used To: A Short Story again? Why?
Yes, it was very quick but it was a cute story that makes you think of your own personal relationship. While I was listening I was thinking about my marriage and things we could do to keep it exciting. It hurt a little when you learned about their point of views in the separation and a little angsty when they saw each other again but in the end it was a beautiful realistic story.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Like We Used To: A Short Story?
I loved when they saw each other at the reuinion.

A sweet, tender short story!
Like We Used To by Eryn Scott is a very sweet romance. The characters and the situation they are in is very real. Stephanie Bentley's narration was as good as the story was. Her voice was true to each character. I look forward to more books from each of them. I would recommend this audio book to anyone. Teens as well as older women would enjoy this sweet, clean story.
