About this listen

After some unexpected life detours, Callie Lewes is determined to complete her PhD program and figure out what to do with the rest of her life. Her laser focus is finely tuned and she's ready for total immersion in literature, subpar student essays, and all the joys that come with being a graduate teaching assistant. She has no time for, or interest in, anything else. Especially not dating.

Even if Callie were to entertain the idea of dating, she's certain it would be with someone vibrant, open, and close to her own age. Definitely not someone like Dr. Kate Jory, a new member of Pennbrook College's English department. Kate is both intimidating and a closed book. And the age difference between them is not small. But Kate is also brilliant and fascinating, and Callie is drawn to her in ways she'd never imagined possible.

Not that Kate notices. Or does she? Callie can't tell. Even though they develop an engaging and flirtatious friendship, Callie struggles to work up the courage to put herself directly in Kate's romantic path—wary of the type of fire she suspects their sparks could ignite.

Wasn’t sure because it’s a slow burn but loved this book. So so good. Finished at 4.30am.

If you like angst then this is the book for you. It’s a very slow (and I mean slow) burn but the writing is so good that you possibly won’t even notice. It took me a while to remember all the characters and how they relate to the mc’s but I felt it was definitely worth it. And I loved that the older (and you would think the wiser) woman would be the one with the common sense, but no. And she was so adorable when others called her out on her feelings for Callie. Try it, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.

Callie is a really great character and this is a well written and well narrated audiobook. Unfortunately, I couldn't understand Kate's manipulative behaviour in this story, not why Callie put up with it. Neither things rung true to me and significantly spoiled the book overall.

Hard to finish ! Boring frankly, it dragged on and on! The narrator did a good job . Happy it was free !
