Harley & Rose

By: Carmen Jenner

Narrated by: Paula Hoffman, Aaron Abano

Length: 10 hrs and 17 mins

Publisher's Summary

Ever since she was a little girl, 30-year-old Rose dreamed of the day Harley would carry her across the threshold on their honeymoon. So what if this isn't her actual wedding day, and that she's only here because Harley was left at the altar just a few hours earlier?

Trading San Francisco for paradise and swapping her bridesmaid's bouquet for a Blue Hawaii, Rose hopes she can finally escape the friend zone.

Once upon a time they had been more than friends, but life got in the way. She's spent every day since wishing Harley would get a clue.

She's always been his best friend.

He's always been hers.

She's in love with him.

He's...not in love with her.

He's...marrying someone else.

He's...hiding something.

He's...well - it's complicated.

More tears, more joy, more love

What did you love best about Harley & Rose?

Harley and Rose is one of my favourite tear jerkers ever and hearing it in audio didn't change that. Despite being dual narration , Paula Hoffman did an incredible job as both Harley and Rose (and Aaron Abano was great as well) and at no time was I taken out of the story even though a female was doing most of the audio.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Harley & Rose?

This is too hard to answer without spoiling the story. There's so many parts that I love ... you'll just have to listen for yourself to find yours!!

Have you listened to any of Aaron Abano and Paula Hoffman ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Is this a trick question?!?! It's HARLEY AND ROSE!!! The entire book moved me but the last few chapters of the book (last hour and half in audio) had me openly sobbing. But again - no spoilers!!

Any additional comments?

I wasn't sure how I would go listening to Harley and Rose after I fell in love with the book. But I can safely say that I loved the audio just as much as the book. It had the same feeling, brought about all the same emotions and was a great way to revisit this story and this couple - even if I shed way more tears yet again!!

Dont like sad endings

Sorry the book was kind of depressing. I read for an escape, not to be sad.

someone should have told me I'd cry my eyes out

this book was amazing... although I hate crying and now I look like a snotty mess. this book broke my heart but it was so good. it should be made in to a movie

It was not at all what I was expecting and to be honest my heart is still broken and I finished this book 3 days ago. I might have to go back and listen to it again, just not sure my heart can take it

Very slow paced, hardly any Aaron Abano

The only reason I got this is because I really liked Aaron Abano and he only read one chapter that literally lasted less than 5 min. What a let down! The story was very slow paced and hard to get into, not very steamy eather. No happy ending! Waste of your time, don’t bother

wish there had been a review before i bought

i hate not being able to fully get into a story. harley & rose was one of them. the narration wasn't any help either but it just... it was weak and every other chapter is a flashback which i skipped through most of because it was more irritating than interesting. very angst driven from start to finish.

if u ever need a good cry

I read this book when it first came out. And it ripped my heart out, stomped it to a million pieces and left it bleeding on the ground. It took me some time to finde it again, to finde me again. I dont think i ever did.
Then i braved myself to listen. It is always more intense to listen. And god dammit Carmen. I love you and your books. But it did it again. even going in prepared. It took me right back to that broken spot again. Nothing is the same after.
So well written, so emotionel, so heartbreaking. But oh so good.

Harley And Rose

oh what a beautiful story ❤
I think I've been through all the emotions and feels you can get in a book !!
This is a different story than I've read before and without spoilers it's a real rollercoaster of a ride
told in rosesl POV with chapters going from present to past living out the full relationship between her and Harley, you understand the purity of their love for each other.
if your a cryer have your tissues at the ready.
5 star read *****
