“Friends…”

Lesbian Romance

De: Jamie Quinn

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

In the bustling city where ambition meets secrecy, two lifelong friends find themselves navigating the complexities of love and identity amidst the challenges of their demanding careers. “Emma,” a dedicated trauma doctor at the local hospital, has just emerged from a long-term relationship with a man that left her questioning everything she thought she knew about love.

“Sophie,” a policewoman, has always been fiercely protective of her career and her heart. Outwardly confident and committed to serving justice, she has kept her sexuality hidden for fear that coming out could jeopardize everything she’s worked for. When Emma’s recent breakup leaves her vulnerable and in need of support, Sophie insists that Emma move in with her—an arrangement that brings them closer than ever before. With her life seemingly on track, she is still haunted by unacknowledged feelings for her best friend.

As they share a home filled with laughter and late-night conversations, tension simmers just beneath the surface. Sophie grapples with her growing attraction to Emma while trying to maintain the façade of their friendship. Meanwhile, Emma begins to notice subtle shifts in their dynamic; moments charged with unspoken desire linger in the air between them.
Complicating matters is Jake, Emma’s ex-boyfriend, who reappears unexpectedly. His presence stirs up old feelings and creates doubt about what Emma truly wants.

With each passing day spent together—cooking dinner, binge-watching shows on lazy weekends, or simply sharing quiet moments—their bond deepens into something undeniably romantic. The slow burn ignites as they navigate shared experiences, from childhood memories to adult challenges in their respective fields.

As Sophie faces high-stakes cases at work that test her resolve and loyalty, Emma provides unwavering support while also discovering new depths within herself. Together, they embark on a journey of self-discovery that forces them to confront not only their feelings for each other but also societal expectations surrounding love and identity.

“Friends” is a poignant exploration of friendship evolving into romance—a story filled with emotional tension, vulnerability, and ultimately, the courage it takes to embrace love when it feels most forbidden. As they uncover truths about themselves and each other, will they find the strength to break free from societal constraints? Or will fear keep them apart when all they truly want is to be together?

As Sophie wrestles with jealousy and fear of losing their friendship if she reveals her true feelings, both women must confront their desires head-on.

How was this published?

This had to have been written by AI. Other reviews say it's "repetitive", but thats too simple. It literally replays the same scenes multiple times back to back with slight changes and makes you question your own sanity. If I ever hear "hyper aware of her proximity" again, I may explode in either rage or giggles because I will forever think of this book. I felt like I was being brainwashed or gaslighted the first time I heard the same scene play out 3 times in one chapter, and it continued until I lost my shit.

Good story, awfully put together

The virtual voice doesn’t help but it kept repeating scenes with different dialogues over and over. So confusing, mixing the names and who was speaking. Awful. A good story but it needs to be re-narrated

difficult to follow

seems like several versions of the story got mixed up and narrated in random order, some scenes come back multiple times in slightly different versions and then the story does not flow because of it...

Repetitive

Very confusing. Friends seem to tell each other right away that they are into each other then take forever to act on anything because they think they both don’t feel the attraction. Then once they finally act on it, the same sentences are repeated several times just worded differently.

Had potential but terrible execution

It seemed as though the book was put together by AI, not just read by it. The virtual voice was actually better on this book than any other I have heard from Audible. However, the book itself was extremely disjointed and the plot kept circling. It was a terrible experience and I did not finish.
