Devon Douglas can’t believe it when she comes face-to-face with Sadie again. They were inseparable in high school until Devon did something she ruined their friendship on a lovestruck whim. Sadie is as dazzling as Devon remembers—and she can still hold her own surfing the wild waves of Clearwater Bay. Devon’s first priority is her five-year-old son, but getting to know Sadie all over again is taking up more and more of her headspace. Sadie is inexplicably drawn to Devon. It could be nostalgia. Or remnants of their old friendship flaring. But what if it’s more than that?

Great narration
after listening to hundreds of books and enjoy lesbian literature, I learned to appreciate a good narrator. No matter how good a book is, a narrator can give you either a good experience or disappointing one. In this occasion I think the narration added value to the story and elevated it.

Great book.
This was a really good middle age coming out story. It delt with real life issues. it delt with how hard it can be to have a sexual friends only relationship. It had a really good mix of sub characters. The Author did well keeping me engaged and interested. The flow of the story was really smooth.
The nartation was better than I expected. Me being an Abby Craden Fan Girl.
I have to say the only thing I didn't like was ...
The sudden ending , and the short time robin had with the kids.
other than that I loved it.
you have to read it for yourself, it's worth it.

Great story
I remember my coming out and the worry and struggles I had. I found myself excited for these woman and actually cried too. The humor was entertaining and kind of took some of the edge off some of the intensity ar times. I would have liked to have seen a bit more depth given to the women who owned the coffee shop. maybe next time. Excellent as a audio book. Narrator could read to me anytime. loved it.

The characters in this book or so spot on for me. It kept me wanting more. This actually could be a true life book which of course keeps my interest. The narrator did a fabulous job and of course the topic of the book just hit home for me.

Great book
If you’re a “late-bian” as referenced in this book as coming out later in life... this book is for you. The main character is a 44 divorced mother of 2. This is a positive book to read. One of Harpers more innocent stories. Great nonetheless. Angela Dawe is good. Only thing I was a tad bit disappointed in as far as the narration went was I’ve heard Angela Dawe speak with some impeccable accents in other books (specifically her renditions of Lee Winters stories) and I know she can pull off Australian accents. I was surprised she went with typical American English voices instead. Specifically for the main character, who is Australian. Still great narration regardless. Great book. Hopefully this series gets even better from here.
Onto book #2 😃
