About this listen

Returning home after a long sojourn abroad, Blu contemplates whether the time has finally come for her to put down some roots. Bryan, meanwhile, has been firmly rooted in one place and in one life for what now seems like far too long.

Close friends in college, they're now on the other side of thirty, reconnecting by chance, and revisiting whether the choices they made back then should have included each other.

This book is really well written and is this first time that I've enjoyed a book even though I didn't really like ANY of the main characters.

The story is straight up about an illicit attraction between two old college friends, but it is nuanced, and dealt with sensitively. And you're never really sure whether you want the old friends to 'connect' or not.

You are invested though, even if it is just to find out what happens next...
