About this listen
For two exes who meet again, moving on is harder than ever in a funny and heartfelt romantic comedy about starting over by the author of Truth Be Told, now a major Apple TV+ series.
Vanessa is a yoga influencer living high in New York. But after her crypto-entrepreneur fiancé ruins both their lives by fleeing the country amid fraud allegations, Vanessa’s only choice is to start over—by flying home to Chicago and moving in with her sister.
Just as Vanessa puts her life back together, she bumps into Sam. Years ago, they fell hard and too fast. Their relationship ended in heartbreak after an impromptu Las Vegas wedding officiated by a Dolly Parton impersonator—and an annulment that was just as sudden. Now Sam is co-owner of a solar company with a promising future, a future Vanessa wants to be included in. But she can’t shake the whiff of scandal from her AWOL fiancé, and to protect Sam’s reputation, she’s keeping her distance. Then again…
If anyone can turn a negative into a positive—and a first love into a second chance—it’s a young woman with influence.

Critic reviews
“The stuff of which Hallmark Channel romance movies are made…Memorably entertaining.”—Midwest Book Review
“Move over, Elvis. Dolly Parton is the patron saint of this love story. Kathleen Barber’s Both Things Are True is a voicey wild ride full of lost love, deceit, sisterhood, and second chances. You’ll fall in love with Vanessa and Sam, and root for them both to find a happy ending…hopefully with each other.”—Ali Brady, USA Today bestselling author of Until Next Summer
“Barber drops you right into the drama from the start and expertly weaves in twists, turns, and reveals to keep the pages turning. A one-sitting read that fans of second-chance romances will absolutely love!”—Suzanne Park, author of One Last Word
