Publisher's summary

Thirteen years ago, Vivi LeBrun was sketching a rooster and eating Oreos when she first met - and fell for - her friend's brother, David St. James. Since then, her love for David has only intensified thanks to years of friendship with his family, who rescued her from a lonely, tumultuous childhood. As she travels to Block Island to vacation with the St. James siblings, Vivi daydreams about reuniting with David, hoping he'll finally see her as his soul mate.

After his mother's death, David distanced himself from his siblings, determined to hide a devastating family secret. Now, he's brought a new girlfriend along to his homecoming - one who's pushing for a serious commitment. The last thing he needs on his growing list of problems is his budding attraction to Vivi.

With tensions running high, David's behavior triggers a series of events that might cost him the love he's always taken for granted and Vivi the only real family she's ever known.

loved this story

Would you consider the audio edition of Worth the Wait to be better than the print version?

I listened to the audio version of this book & I fell in love with the characters. I thoroughly enjoyed this heartwarming story & I was sad that when it ended.

What does Kate Rudd bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

she brings character to all the characters

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I loved the end so much

Just okay

I didn't hate this listen but there were times I struggled to keep listening, The story was sweet and light, albeit predictable and the characters enjoyable enough but it dragged on and on. Great narrator.

Worth the audio!

Love the characters, the story line and the narration. I ordered Jamie's other book and I only hope it draws me in like this book.

Enjoyable book

I found this book interesting however the book seemed to keep droning on about the situation between the girl and her best friend and how their relationship did work, then didn't work, then his betrayal, then her loss, then her hatred, then reuniting. In the end I was exhasted. Good story line and characters. Nice read.
