About this listen
It was always the plan to come back home to Cherry Peak. But after being gone for four years, it’s apparently not as easy as I expected for things to go back to the way they used to be.
Instead, they get beyond complicated the moment I realize my brother’s house has paper thin walls and a general lack of privacy. Desperate for someplace else to stay, I move in with one of my brother’s friends. The only problem with that? Bryce can’t stand me. Everyone in town calls her the Ice Queen, and over the first few days of living with her, I begin to understand why. She’s blunt, broody, and even cruel at times. But when I learn she could use some help in the dating department, I offer mine without a second thought.
It’s supposed to be a harmless favour, but somewhere along the line, Bryce stops being the woman who barely tolerates me, and starts becoming the one person who understands me best. The walls of ice she’s built up around herself start to crack, and the more I get to know what lies behind it, the more I realize how wrong I’ve been about her this entire time. She might be frosty to everyone else, but to me . . . I think she’s the warmest person I’ve ever known.

When I tell you it was brilliant. This book very much seemed to be the focus that this is a queer book that people can read and listen to and be like yes, I see myself here or I’ve had that experience. It was such a beautiful story.
One of the things that I love about Hannah’s writing is the multi-faceted layers of characters, specifically those that present in a more negative way or that readers would interpret as rude or this person does things that are hurtful or they’re too grumpy - all the things we would praise a male character for. The way she writes it where we get that but we also get why, I mean if we bother to look under the surface.
The way Bryce, to everybody looking in, was like the rough and tumble, the hard-arse type person but actually when you’re listening you’re like she has a heart of gold, and she’s 100% head over heels for Daisy. Even for Daisy, who comes across as the sunshine personality and kind, and not having a backbone and able to just go with the flow and be happy all the time. Yet we see more and more when it comes to Bryce that she is willing and ready to throw down. I loved it. I loved their dynamic, the way they work together as a couple. The way they push each other away because they think the other person isn’t feeling the way that they are. But it doesn’t feel like it’s unnecessary, you can see why they would feel that way. And you can see them both really struggling to find that balance between the real and the fake.
Even the black moment, you understand it and know it is coming from a good place. And look, I loved Johnny in Chasing Home, and I know it’s his twin, but he was lucky he did not come out of that with a bodily injury - because I was ready to kick a shin lol.
It was such a wonderful listen. Andi and Kristen were absolutely fantastic. I loved their voices together. This was the definite right casting for Andi’s more sweet, sunshiny type of performance for Daisy, in contrast to Kristen’s for Bryce, which was more gruff, standoffish type and it just worked so well. The production was great. I loved it, you should definitely check it out.
Beautiful. A must listen.
