About this listen

When Remy's grandmother dies, it means leaving her life in San Francisco and returning to a town she swore she'd never revisit, forced to confront a world she'd worked hard to put behind her over the last twelve years.

She's not expecting that the first girl to ever steal her heart, the pretty, popular Fallon Lewis, is still around, and in a town this small, their paths continue to cross, much to Remy's dismay. It's hard enough seeing her first love, but it's exponentially more difficult when she can barely stand to look at the woman.

Remy's trip back has the possibility to open up doors she believed were shut long ago, but she's never planned on staying, and she definitely never planned on letting Fallon back into her life.

If she thought being a teenager in a small town was hard, she's about to find out how much harder life is when there's no one but herself to blame for her problems.

Contains mature themes.

Any book that contains the word dweeb and clusterf?&$* is a winner in my opinion.

I did enjoy it.

Another for my favourites. Monica McCallan is so good at these, making each one fresh and different. The narration, which brings to life every mood and each character, is great too. Altogether a very enjoyable listen.

Another lovely slow burn

the build up was immense in this book it literally put pains in my chest at time and the actual feeling of feeling like a love sick puppy! so well written the writer really knows what she is doing and how to evoke our emotions and tear us down before bringing us back up. Story very very relatable for any one that remembers their school crush like it was yesterday but this one hits you hard as a nail. wow. narrator nails it so so well she has such a way to deliver that makes you wobble and i often dont enjoy American female voicer over cos it often sounds whiney shrill and nasal but, this one was so skilled she has a nice tone for each character and made it enjoyable to hear and like she, just like the writer had snatched your breath away. Couldn't recommend enough! review from sarah in the UK 🇬🇧

Enjoyed the book which I finished before listening to to Lori Prince's audio performance which in mho enhanced the enjoyment.

Good story, great audio

Another really good book by Monica McCallan! Enjoyed the story and the characters (although it annoyed me a little bit how much they said the blonde/brunette to describe them! I’ve never notice that in a book before)

Excellent narration by Lori Prince as always.

Defo worth a listen!

Great book-excellent narration
