About this listen

For as long as Lydia Archer can remember, her life has been a balancing act between a tireless battle with her health and the tireless search for "the one." She's put herself out there time and again, yet still, has found nobody prepared for the rollercoaster of her mystery ailment. Persistent pain and dismissive doctors are Lydia’s constant shadow.

Just as Lydia begins to think that her beloved pup Monty is the only one who can handle her brokenness, her sister’s best friend, Halle, steps in to save her health and quite possibly, her heart. Just as Lydia is on the mend, the unexpected arrival of love threatens to throw everything off balance. And to top it off, as a friendship blossoms between Lydia and Halle, Lydia’s sister Fe finds herself grappling with her own whirlwind of emotions. Throw in the delightful chaos of Lydia's "niblings," Fe’s mischievous triplets, and this sapphic romance weaves a tale of healing and love, reminding us that sometimes both can be found in the most unexpected places.

Lydia's journey is one of resilience, family, self-discovery, and the promise that true love accepts us for the whole—broken parts included—because love has a way of piecing things back together.

It is an audiobook full of colorful, funny and true-to-life characters, almost all of whom I immediately fell in love with.
Halle and Lydia's story is warm, bumpy, a little slow, but still very hot!! I wasn't expecting this, but I was extremely pleasantly surprised. Wonderful, funny (I had to laugh out loud so many times), romantic and also profound.
Self-doubt, betrayal, childhood trauma and love for yourself are also topics, that are taken into account and made me think.
Nevertheless, the Author managed to create a very well balance romance of light and deep with lots of humor.
The narration was great!

A wonderful and funny romance

Alyson Root blends romance and the sometimes harsh reality of being human in this book. Lydia’s journey towards self love and acceptance is something many readers will recognise and empathise with. There are no short cuts or trite platitudes for Lydia, just a slow and sometimes painful progression. I really enjoyed reading the physical book last year and the audiobook brought it to life perfectly.

Heart achingly real

A beautiful romance that finally blossoms after admiring each other since school days, with health issues and ones own insecurities they tread the path towards a HEA. 💖
Excellent narration that brings together the characters struggles expertly.🎶

I'm not sure whether this audiobook is bad because of the writing or the terrible narration ? I will avoid this narrator in future because some narrators tend to be one dimensional in respect of their voices. I do like that a serious misunderstood illness is highlighted, so many people suffer with hidden illness and have to 'put up' with people just not 'getting it' or even trying to !
I won't be listening to this audio again.
