About this listen

"All these years, I've never given my heart to anyone . . . The truth is, I didn't have a heart to give. My heart was with a ghost."

To the rest of the world, he was the little boy who went missing on the Fourth of July. But to Sydney Neville, he was everything. Her heart hasn't been the same since her best friend disappeared, but she's learned to build her life around that missing piece.

Twenty-two years later, the last thing Sydney expects is for Oliver Lynch to return. Having been captive underground for decades, he's unfamiliar with the strange new world that awaits him—but he's alive. He's here. And no matter how he's changed, he and Sydney both still feel the connection that runs between them.

But as their reborn friendship begins to feel like something more, Sydney and Oliver realize there are still jagged, painful truths creating space between them. The walls Sydney's built don't want to come down, and as Oliver hunts for his missing memories and lost time, he realizes his nightmare is not yet over.

With nothing as it seems, is there space for love to bloom in this dark place?

Contains mature themes.

Great!

I listened to this because I read ‘Older.’ I loved this. I did it in one go. It would have been a sleepless night, otherwise! The story, the emotions. I will have to find another JH book to devour now. So worth a listen. 5🌟

Phenomenal

Yet another incredible book from Jennifer Hartmann. I loved Oliver & Sydney’s story. The LOTUS explanation had me sobbing. It’s such a heart breaking but heartwarming story, which I can say for all of Jennifer’s books. I’m so obsessed with this world and I can’t wait to read more.

Amazing! Hope it gets a movie deal

Loved this book. Read it after Still Beating and it has characters that cross over. The story is brilliant and made me cry. Hope it’s turned into a movie. The narration was brilliant! I couldn’t stop listening. Definitely recommend!!

No words

Listen. . this author is BLESSED. The way she puts these stories on paper. 🙀 Every single book is so beautifully written. This one has so many bits that I didn’t see coming at all. I loved it. I was listening to the book and I heard clementine’s name and I was thinking that this character sounded familiar… then I realised that this cheeky lady has created an intricate web of characters throughout the books. I love it so much. I hope she writes Tabitha’s story because I’m very interested in her.
Also slight spoiler alert;
In June first, I was curious about Brandt’s kiss with his bar colleague and it wasn’t really explained what happened there. Just that they weren’t a match. I was very pleased when I got the explanation in this book. I love how it was written in. There was no awkwardness and I love that Brandt wasn’t overly excited thus maintaining his devotion to June. Anyway I just love it all. Beautiful books all of them. *chef’s kiss*

JH can do no wrong!

Another beautifully, tragic love story from Jennifer Hartmann. Her writing and story telling is perfection. I will admit the audio performance took me. While to get used to with this one, but you come to understand the MMC and why he’s delivering the audio in this way.

5 stars, again. I can’t wait for her new co-write at the end of this month. I’ve loved everything I have read by JH so far.

Mehhh. Nearly dnf because of narration

*spoilers* First of all.. I quite liked this book. Kind of predictable and yet another yucky *marriage and baby* ending which was eye roll worthy. But the writing was fairly decent and it did have me hooked until I got to about 80% and then it just became a bit boring. But the narration was really truly awful.
