About this listen

Sometimes, a second chance comes when you least expect it.

Kate Cormier thought she’d love Sutton Guidry forever. But when one bad decision ended things, she moved on, building a life for herself and her daughter. These days, she hardly thinks about all those dreams. Until Sutton shows up, acting like she never left and looking more gorgeous than ever.

Sutton has spent a decade avoiding her hometown, memories of first love, and the girl who broke her heart. She’s built a career, but the life that goes with it leaves her uninspired. When her father needs surgery, she decides coming home to help him recover is a chance to face those ghosts, once and for all. But with so many pieces of her life still there - including Kate - it’s hard not to imagine trying again. Can she find a way to put them together without falling apart all over again?

Main character needs to be more accountable

I liked the story but the main character Kate needs to take responsibility for the mistakes she has made. Stop making it seem like everyone else is the bad guy and that she has never done anything wrong. Sutton is super sweet and the story was fun to follow.

Low-Angst Rey is On Point, As Usual

Oh, how I love lower-angst romances, and oh, how I love how Aurora Rey handles them.

A second-chance romance, this one put bisexual Kate and lesbian Sutton back into each others' orbits after ten years of a seriously bad break-up: one where eighteen year-old Sutton had left for college for four months and returned to find seventeen year-old Kate was pregnant kind of bad. Huge, and for teenagers, definitely not an easy thing to navigate.

Fast-forward those ten years, however, and single-parent Kate has her life in a pretty solid state, working for her family at the local hardware shop and raising her kid and making jewelry on the side, and Sutton—whose father wanted nothing more for her than to leave the "podunk" town and live up to her potential—has done just that, with a great career and important position she can, luckily, put on hold for three months while her father has knee replacement surgery.

It's a small town, and it's not long before they bump into each other, and... well. Both remember the sharp pain of the past, but it's been ten years, and the ten years between seventeen and eighteen to twenty-seven and twenty-eight are a lot. This is where, I think, Rey's characterization really shone the most here. Of course the two reacted terribly to Kate's betrayal and Sutton's resultant cut-and-run, but they're not those teenagers any more and it's clear there's still something between them. Harper (Kate's daughter) is also a lynchpin to the framing of the choice in Kate's past on many levels: she understands it as a mistake that hurt Sutton, but it also led to Harper, who is a singular joy in her life, and thus she can regret it on some levels, but without wishing it had never happened. While I know a lot of readers nope out of a book when any cheating is involved, this is teenaged cheating and a decade in the past, and while it definitely shaped the two women (and left both worried in very specific ways about repeating patterns) the end-result fed into characterization, not angst or trauma.

This was a wonderful audiobook companion for the last few weeks while I walked the dog, and I'm going to miss it. Kate Chilton did a wonderful narration as always, and I hope I get to return to this small Lousiana town some time in the future with more Rey books, as the cast of supporting characters—even the parents, who I wanted to shake multiple times—was a nice, atypical touch for small-town nowhere. Kate's trans brother, Harper herself, two nearby older lesbians Sutton works with... it all felt connected in a way I love to read.

Early Surprise..

Super excited for audio was released before the book, I knew it was going to be another great story by Aurora Rey based on the description. Just an added bonus to have Keira Grace do the audio. Without giving to much away, Harper, Kate’s daughter is the sweetest thing. Enjoyed listening to Kate and Sutton reconnect again. Story once again proves true love never dies. Highly recommend, story is beautifully written and Keira Grace narration makes the story flow perfectly.

Good enough to keep me listening!

I liked the story line a lot, it kept me interested and the sex was definitely got. My only problem was the at times the narrator seemed almost automated!

Hmmm....

I typically really enjoy an Aurora Rey story, but I’m afraid this one was pretty boring for me. I didn’t love the narrator, though she had good moments. As did the book, but not enough. I have to admit to not liking Kate; one of the MC.
This experience will not prevent me from seeking out future Aurora Rey books, however.

Not impressed (*contains spoilers*)

This book had so much potential and so many options of ways to take the story. I’m disappointed that this author chose a very frustrating and unhealthy way to tell a love story.
In what world is it expected to quit college, move home, and take care of your ex-girlfriend (who cheated on you and ended up pregnant) and her baby??!!! Making Sutton the bad guy because she moved on after having her heart broken is ridiculous! Not once did I hear someone say it was not Sutton’s fault and she shouldn’t feel bad. Instead it was expected by everyone, including herself, that she did something wrong and it was her fault her girlfriend cheated on her.
And, never addressed, was the issue that she was going to get back into a relationship with someone who had already cheated on her once before. No, instead Sutton is portrayed as an abandoner. What about the guy who got Kate pregnant??!! What about Kate giving up on Sutton after only a few months apart??!! How about making the actual problems the conflict of the story???
So disappointed in this!

Lots of problems, disappointing and boring

Problems in this book include lots of intrusive "advice" from various side characters that just feels annoying, the weird way the book seems to accuse the woman who broke up with the cheater of abandonment and of somehow being against the kid, the trans character who seems to be a pointless add on who adds zero of any interest to the story, and the fact that hardly anything ever really happens because we are mired in so much dull repetition.

Seriously, the only thing I liked about it is the description of the food the father cooked. It's too bad, because the premise had promise. I like the idea of reunions and second chances, I love lesbian love stories, etc. - but this was just bad.

Delusional!

Kate is delusional and toxic. Why is the cheater in this relationship playing the victim. She claims that Sutton runs from serious conversations, but she was the one who decided to sleep with someone else instead of talking to her girlfriend. This book is all about a one sided unhealthy relationship. Why is Sutton apologizing for Kates mistake. So bad.
