Down to a Science

I Heart Sapphfic Pride Collection Series, Book 1

De: Haley Cass

Narrado por: Lori Prince

Ellie Beckett's life is simple and uncomplicated; she's on track to become a leading expert in biomedical engineering, she has a pub where she feels comfortable enough to hang out multiple times a week, and so what if she doesn't have time for . . . people? She doesn't need or want them.

Until she meets Mia Sharpe.

As it turns out, maybe Ellie does want at least one person.

Roller coaster of emotions

Cass does an excellent job of describing the characters, their life experiences and traumas, and the setting in a way that had me fully invested. All the feels for this one. Highly recommend if you enjoy complex characters, slow burn, and angst.

Sweet and slow

Really great characters and nice slow and deep story development of two people falling in love and friendship.

Lovely story!

That ending really put the cherry on-top. The story line, the friendship, the unraveling of it all in the end. Loved.

“Down To A Science” by Haley Cass, Narrated by Lori Prince

This is the ultimate slow-burn! I love the pairing of scientist Ellie Beckett and firefighter, Mia Sharpe. At times I wanted to yell at both of them to figure out their feelings for each other, which made it even more satisfying when they finally did! I really enjoyed this book. Lori Prince’s narration was spot on!

Love it

I loved the back story between Mia and Ellie. I wished it was longer and was more in depth, but it’s a short story for a reason.

Absolutely loved it!

First of all the writing was so good and the MCs were so realistic and believable that I was gripping my invisible pearls from beginning to end! I realize I'm listening to this 3 years late June 2025 but I would really like a book 2 with a marriage of Ellie and Mia with the love story of Riley and her friend(can't remember her name right now) but definitely point me to it if it exists. I wanted to pop Ellie and Mia so they could just stop all the nonsense already but this is a super serious slow-burn and extremely worth it! Happy PRIDE!

Wonderful book

Lori Prince gives this book a vibe that makes a great story even greater. Excellent

It was okay

I Much preferred Those Who Wait and When you Least Expect It over this novel.

Great story

Wonderful story all be it frustrating at times. I was truly pulled into the story and fell in love with the characters.

New favorite

This is a new favorite and I can’t stop keep re-listening. I love these characters so much. Especially Ellie and Mia, but also Gianna and Riley. They’re all just so sweet, and seem like really amazing people.

I love the way the story is told in what seems to be Ellie’s voice; even though it’s told in third person, it feels like you’re hearing her thoughts.

And Lori Price really brings the characters to life. I appreciate the emotion she brings to the performance. Lori has really grown on me as I’ve listened to a handful of the books she’s narrated. I know she has a huge fan base, but it did take me some time to adjust to how… enthusiastic(?) (loud?) some of her voices for characters are. I started with “Those Who Wait” and I loved the book, but the narration (also by Lori) grated on me at first. But I think it works to illustrate how the main characters likely perceive the people around them.

Overall, I love this audiobook and I’m really looking forward to the next one with these characters!
