A good story Disappointing narration

Harper Bliss writes excellent books... never a dud... but the narrator was a poor choice....The book was set in Australia and the North American was alien to the storyline and jarring....

Overall good book!

Another great book by Harper Bliss. I really enjoy the emotion she brings to her books!! The characters were interesting and experienced some very real challenges. It was tough getting thru them but that's what a good book will do for you. I almost got frustrated with one of the characters but before I could really get mad, it ended, which was probably for the better! Also, the narrator had a great voice...I could listen to her all day!! Overall, excellent listen! I look forward to the next book!

If You Come from an Alcoholic Family...

This book might be tough if you come from an alcoholic family. I wanted to shut it off numerous times but didn't, and I wondered if, by making myself listen to this, it was freeing me somehow. Anyway, I made it to the end and I'm glad I did. I know this is a book, but I'm pulling for Cheryl to make it. (Sorry, spoiler alert!)
I understand that the book is also a testament to what true love can do and how deep a person will go to help the one they love. I started to give the book more stars but just couldn't. I'm sorry, Harper.

So Real! I loved it!

I laughed, cried, and related on too many levels…. This is a keeper. I am off to find the next book by Bliss or narrated by Dawes… I love her voice. It makes me feel so many emotions.

Intense & Real & Beautiful

As an adult child of an alcoholic father, this beautiful and haunting story hit home - at times being so real I needed to take long breaks and revisit after. A triumph of the human spirit w the support of loved ones is always a compelling story. It’s a fabulous prequel of sorts to the series. Looking forward to the rest 🫶

beautifully told story

Harper Bliss has a true gift for developing characters. This story stuck a chord with me on many levels. Harper Bliss writes about real issues and the realities of live on life's terms within believable characters. I am looking forward to book 3 in the series.

Love this series!

I’m listening to this series out of order, as I come across them. It’s easy to pick up and follow. I enjoy Harper Bliss - her ability to create characters the reader cares about and the backstories are fantastic. Excited to move on to the next!!
