This book really touched my heart in such a personal way. If you’ve ever had to rebuild yourself after heartbreak, this story will hit home. Maisey Yates writes with such emotional honesty that I truly felt like I was right there with the main character, navigating the highs and lows alongside her. Watching her grow and gain the confidence to finally put herself first made me feel so proud.

The audiobook narration by Nancy Peterson was phenomenal . She brought so much warmth and feeling to the story. Such a good vibe and a perfect match for the tone of the book.

Huge thanks to NetGalley and Harlequin Audio for the advanced listener copy!
