Resumen del Editor

I almost didn't believe it was him. In high school, Sebastian Pryce had been an aloof outsider who kept to himself. But now, 10 years later, he's back and unusually attractive. With muscles in all the right places and hands that know exactly what they're doing, Sebastian is everything I didn't know I needed. And while he isn't exactly friendly, he has a magnetism that draws me in.

He pulls away, afraid he'll break me. Until the night I demand more - and he gives it. (Hard and deep. Twice.) Are we just two lost, lonely people seeking solace? Or could a disgraced reality TV star and a flawed, frustrating man actually find some sort of happy together?

Reseñas de la Crítica

" Some Sort of Happy is all kinds of amazing, sexy, and romantic." (Lauren Blakely, author of The Sapphire Affair)

Some Sort of Happy

I loved Sebastian and his illness. I cannot call them his flaws because they are not flaws. I loved that she fought him to see that he was more than his illness. When most people think of OCD they think about everything having place but it is so much more than that. The author did an outstanding job describing what a person with severe OCD suffers in their daily life.
A truly amazing love story.

5 stars

Loved everything about this book. The storyline, the characters and passion. I have to say I enjoyed learning about adults and OCD. I don’t read many books that tackle this.

Mental Health

Skylar and Sebastian had such a sweet story. Both went to the same high school. However Skylar was more popular and Sebastian was the "class weirdo" because of his mental health issues. However, Skylar wasn't a bully to him. They both moved on with their lives, experiencing ups and downs. They reunited at very interesting times in each of their lives.

I though this was a great story that accurately depicted struggles with Mental Health. I felt at though the author really did her homework. She humanized something that a lot of people don't get. I like that Skylar didn't try to change him but she adapted with him. Both people grew and learned together.

I love Nelson Hobbs. His performance was great. Lucy Malone is also pretty good.

Great Story with a Beautiful Message!

The narrations of Nelson Hobbs and Lucy Malone was great, i love how we get to feel the confusion and the insecurities of Sebastian on Nelsons voice.. i really felt how he really was struggling whenever he felt his insecurities creeping in.. i also felt the sadness and the anxiety of Skylar on Lucys Narration whenever she was trying to understand Sebastian and she didn't know how.. really love all the emotions their voices made me feel and also how they really portrait the characters so well....

A Story of hope, love and faith.. two broken souls mending their heart to be together..

Skylar returns to her hometown, sad and broken after a reality show she just left.. she was affraid of what people would think after the show.. she wasn't happy of some of the things she said and did on national television .. but not everything was her fault.. people didn't understand her and didn't even want to have anything to do with her.. only him has the answers, only him can fix her heart and soul..

Sebastian was a weird kid all his life. He has suffered from some psychological challenges that keep him isolated most of the time, having a hard time interacting with people and other stuff that would make him feel like an outsider.. he kept himself out of the crowd and certain environments.. now after many years of working hard to recover himself and try to live a normal life, he is finally seeing changes, changes that are being jeopardize by his own insecurities..

She didn't recognized him at first, he was so diffrent from all those years ago. A lawyer, with a great body..

He was affraid she would remember his flaws and strange habits. his insecurities didn't let him see far away from this "illness"

Life brought them together, and this time they will have to learn to conquer those demons and finally accept themselves..

The story between Skylar and Sebastian is beautiful two "broken" souls finally meet and help each other to survive in to this world.. with patient and time Skylar learns to deal with some of the issues Sebastian has.. not before suffering a few heartbreaks and bad situations because of the bad misunderstandings and miscommunication..

Another great part of the story is, how each character grows and learns their own challenges as they continue dealing with life and some of the ups and difficulties they both have.. not only Sebastian was hard to read... Skylar had her own insecurities and had a hard time verbalizing them to him.. Skylar became a solid rock for Sebastian and Sebastian became also a great support for Skylar..

Great story with a beautiful message..

I LOVED this book.

Everything about this. It was heart wrenching, heartfelt, heartfelt. The struggles were so real, I was totally invested!

Oh my god, this book!

My heart is swollen! I have had a mild to moderate degree of OCD most of my life and I just fell in love with Sebastian! The degree to which Melanie Harlow shares the struggles with his inner demons was impressive. My heart aches for him and for those around him. Beautifully written. If I wasn’t already a fan, this would seal the deal for sure!

So glad this was released!

It was so refreshing to listen to a book that discussed topics that have been brushed under the rug. Having a form of OCD myself, it was awesome to hear it from another POV! Great work!

A beautiful storyline

I enjoyed this story and all the ups and downs each character had! Now on to book two.

Beautiful story

Enjoy the characters. I enjoy the story I’m sure it’s real and some peoples lives. I hope that they find happiness and come out the other end like Sebastian does.

Pleasantly adorable

This is my first book by this author and I wasn't sure what to expect but I'm glad I listened. I think Melanie did a wonderful job depicting the life of someone with OCD.

I enjoy Nelson Hobbs' voice in everything I have heard from him and this is no different. I took a little issue with Lucy's voice. It sounds too old for this age of characters.
