Somewhere Between Dandelions

De: Trisha Larson Harmon

Narrado por: Trisha Larson Harmon

High school senior, Claire Goodnight, has nothing left to keep her in her small town. Her best friend moved away, and the grandmother who raised her is dead. Claire is biding her time until graduation so she can escape her alcoholic mother, who has never wanted anything to do with her.

Everything changes when her long-time crush, Finn, asks her out. Their first date under the stars is the best thing to ever happen to her—maybe her wishes are worthy after all.

Yet, tragedy strikes when Finn suddenly dies, and Claire is left alone once more. But when Finn magically appears as a ghost who only Claire can see, she gets a second chance at love, and they begin their romance again—in secret.

Finn's reason for staying and an unexpected connection between Claire and Finn's families ultimately unravel everything Claire thought she knew about love, loss, forgiveness, and herself.

Grief and Love

This story is powerful about how love can help you through grief and allow you to keep going.

Absolutely, timelessly sweet tearjerker.

I saw a lot of people talking about this book, all of them saying how much they cried reading it. So, as I listened to a very sweet, heartbreaking story, I found myself wondering why...Don't get me wrong, this book is impeccably written, and the story is wonderfully sweet and sad; it kept me interested to the very end...but I was wondering why people were crying because the book overall, even dealing with such heavy issues, is sweet and lovely; full of what, to me, is hope even in the midst of tragedy...Well, let me tell you, as I sit in front of my PC trying to see through my tears, that now I understand! That heartbreak built up until, by the end, my face was scrunched up, cheeks streaming with both happy and devastated tears! Trisha Larson Harmon has a way of painting a picture that feels so relatable you can see the story through the lens of your own experiences. And then she shows you a picture of lives unrealized, ones that could have been, through the eyes of someone who deserved more than the life she was given, and you can feel that pain like it's physical. This is well worth a listen, and I don't think I'll ever forget it. While it does have some mild steaminess, I would be very comfortable reccommending this book for late teens. I think they will relate to it as much as us old broads who only remember what being one felt like. The narration by the author was very well done. I did listen on 1.2 speed, since it was read a little slower than I generally listen, but since I often have to go to 1.5 speed to make myself happy, this is no slight on the narrator. (I did receive a promo code for this audiobook from the author while randomly scrolling through tiktok, but with no requirements for posting any kind of review. I rarely even leave them, but this book impacted me a lot, and I had no choice but to share.)

Great read!!

I enjoyed this story! Different plot line than many I’ve read! Loved how it showed connection through loss and greif and love!! Highly recommend!

New twist on love

Such a unique premise for a book. I really appreciated that Trisha Larson Harmon delved into the damaging effect of unresolved grief. This is such an important theme that so often is overlooked.

A heartwarming story about life, death, and love

Listening to the author narrate the book was highly enjoyable. Confession, I read the book when it first came out and saw it on audible and decided to give it a listen. Hearing the author tell the story gives a different perspective from reading it, I picked up on little details I missed when I read it. I look forward to many more books by Ms Harmon, both reading and listening to them
