About this listen

How do you heal after tragedy?

Is it even truly possible?

Ashlyn and Garrett have been friends forever, nursing each other through the unimaginable. Over the years, they’ve learned to lean on each other and keep going.

But there’s a huge difference between moving forward and merely standing still.

I really enjoyed this audiobook, It's my first by the author and I really liked her writing. The narrator Verla Bond did a great job narrating it all. Ashlyn and Garrett's story hooked me up, I love friends to lovers story and this one hit the mark, I would've liked to know more about the world surrounding them and the rest of the characters. Love the angst and emotions it got me through the story. Definitely one I would recommend and look forward to more by this new author to me.

This is my first book written by Nicole Dykes and it certainly will not be my last. She is a gifted author, I enjoyed her writing style and the story and characters she created. The storylines are interesting and original, they grabbed my attention right from the start and held it straight to the end. The characters are complex and well developed, they are realistic, easy to relate to and connect with. Ashlynn and Garrett have been friends since they were young, a devastating loss left both of them broken hearted and their lives were forever changed. They both struggled to move on from it, they lived their lives the best they could, becoming roommates and merely just existing. And when they finally open their eyes they see what they were denying themselves, true happiness and living their lives. This is one heartfelt story, it is cleverly plotted and there is never a dull moment in the book. My favorite line of the book is so true, moving and meaningful, “Life doesn’t every truly stand still~ Everything is constantly moving forward whether you move with it or not”. Nicole Dykes, thank you for for this amazing story and the emotional rollercoaster ride. I loved where you took the characters and their story.

Verla Bond is a fabulous narrator and voice artist. She brings the characters to life, gives each their own voice and personality, as well as heart and attitude. She does a great job portraying each character, capturing their persona and humanizing them with their emotions which is heard in her performance. She is an entertaining storyteller and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for this great listen🎧

This book shows the hard aches a group of friends go through after a tragic loss of a friend. Garrett and Ashlyn both feel guilty for having feelings for each other. They both were just making it through day by day not truly living life. When they finally pushed the guilt aside and gave into their true feelings for one another they both were happily in love with each other. Verla did a great job narrating.
