About this listen
Jen Lyon, award-winning author of The Senator’s Wife, brings another intricately woven world of nuanced characters, solidifying herself as a skilled storyteller of women’s fiction.
When Kameryn Kingsbury lands one of the most coveted roles in cinema history, she’s certain it’s the most monumental thing that’s ever happened to her—until a twist of fate introduces her to Dillon Sinclair.
Dillon is unlike anyone Kam has ever met: bold, certain of herself, and fiercely driven by an ambition that has skyrocketed her to the top of her career. A famed British triathlete who remains on a quest to secure the one accolade she’s yet to achieve: an Olympic gold medal.
The connection between the two women is intense and unexpected, challenging Kam’s understanding of herself as she’s drawn into a relationship with Dillon. From the Hawaiian islands to the Santa Monica Pier, to the tropical paradise of the Keys, and the tranquil coast of Wales, a love story begins to unfold.
But when Dillon’s turbulent past collides with Kam’s overnight fame, the challenges escalate and the pressure of the relationship is heightened.
The Unfinished Line unravels a heartachingly beautiful story set amidst the arduous world of elite sports and the unrelenting limelight of Hollywood. Dillon and Kam’s journey explores the power of love, the sacrifices made to achieve success, and the dangers of reaching for perfection.

Excellent narration from Abby, but the UK regional accents are bad! 🎶
EMOTIONAL JOURNEY.

When I was about halfway through the book, I felt completely immersed. I started reading what others had experienced while reading it. I was surprised to see how many mentioned what they called the devastating ending.
I usually read a book from beginning to end, but this time I felt I had to see what the ending was like, since so many people talked about it. I’m glad I did.
It didn’t ruin the experience at all. It just prepared me for what was to come. Maybe it even helped me catch more details in the dialogues between Kam and Dillon than I would have otherwise… I perhaps noticed things that were said — and thought — that I wouldn’t have picked up on.
This is a book that will stay with me much, much longer than I ever thought a book would…
After all… it’s just fiction — even if my emotions tell me otherwise.
One of the most heartbreaking books I have ever read.

A slightly dryer version of the narrator's American voice would have been fine, particularly as she is obviously very expressive. - when not trying to sound like the queen of England!!
Good book, though. 👍
Abysmal "English?" accent.

Devastatingly beautiful.

Characters were great..I liked that there were a few familiar “faces” and characters references from previous stories.
Abby Craydon is amazing, but struggled a bit with the UK dialogues (I’m from the UK and I couldn’t do them!) similar to the characters in the senator’s wife..but that didn’t take away from how much I enjoyed it.
Think I need a few days now to recover and take it all in, or maybe something a bit more lighthearted.
The ending 😱
