RJ Nolan has created an engaging story about psychiatrist, Kim and ER doc, Jess. Both women have past traumas that have affected how they live their lives. I enjoyed the relationship development between them because extra time was taken for Kim to crumble Jess's walls and allow her in. The dialogue is natural and believable and the descriptive details are plenty. Thor, Jess's great dane is an adorable addition to this story. Sometimes, the story tends to lag when they go back and forth holding back their feelings but there's enough action in the ER to level out the lag. 

Audiobook: Angela Dawe does a lovely job with the narration. There's a lot of internal dialogue from both mains, and Dawe was able to provide consistent voices to help readers differentiate between spoken and internal dialogue. Her performance is engaging and is a fantastic accompaniment to the original text.
