Publisher's summary

Dan's survived a lot. Her mother died. Her two sisters loathed her. One aunt hated her. The other was strangely distant, but the worst storm was being dumped by her childhood best friend/high school boyfriend/first love for her younger sister. There went the one person who was hers and with that, the main reason she stuck around. So, she left for 10 years. But now she's back, and nothing's the same.

With help from Jonah Bannon, a reformed - kind of - bad boy she remembers from high school, Dani uncovers family secrets that have spanned generations. And along with those, she's about to face the biggest storm of her life. Only this time, she may not survive.

Speechless

This is the second time I've read this book and it hasn't lost its appeal. Still one of my favorite books.

Tijan really captures the meaning of love and loss in the book.

Again one of my favorite books.

I don't get it.

Positive first, I think the narrator of the book was really good she gave each character their own voice.

Story Review: Even though Tijan stories are high drama and teenybopperish I usually enjoy them. However, this one baffled and irked all the way through. The book lacks the main ingredient that Tijan is known for, LOYALTY. All the characters were contradictions. The backstory or mysteries were pretty confusing.
Dani comes home after leaving town broken hearted 10 years early. Why? because she survived a tragic experience and felt that it was time to stop running from her past. IMO seeing who and what came home to didn't make it seem like that was the place for her to heal. Nothing in the story makes me understand why any of the people she left behind has the right to be angry with her. The only person that she should have maybe cared about is her Aunt Mae but even she was questionable since she tries to justify Dani's sister's betrayal (while she strongly held on to her own grudges) Plus, she kind of let Dani down not stepping up sooner. We only got to know the surface of each of the characters which made it hard really understand the characters motives. The backstory about the family got really confusing to me and was too messy to figure out. I think I got the gist of what the writer was trying to say, that Dani comes from a long line of betrayers and that history keeps repeating itself when it comes to the women in this family. The Jonah and Dani romance was cute and comfortable which is the only thing this book has going for it. I was really hoping that a few people got put in their place but I was sorely let down. In the end, I think that Tijan tries to put too much in the book and was unable to make fully developed storylines.

Ehh

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

I don't really know, it's really hard to listen to for a couple of reasons.I love Tijan I was following her when she was on wattpad, but this plot was really slow, the story was hard to follow, but in her defense starting a story after something big happens and then recapping is really hard to do so A for effort. Dany seems like an amateur character, like this was TIjan first book, but Fallen Crest High was better then this and that was her first book.

What didn’t you like about Sarah Mollo-Christensen’s performance?

I didn't like how hard her S's were, especially while having headphones on it's really cringy and definitely dragged the story down. It actually makes me want to listen to another story, and get a refund.

What would have made this romance irresistible?

I didn't even know it was a romance, it really just felt like a drama. I'm actually really surprised, most books have romance but it doesn't mean it's a romance genre, I really feel it was a drama.

Any additional comments?

Like I said I love Tijan but I know she could do better then this book. And audible needs to step up their narration game

I DIDN'T WANT THIS ONE

I DIDN'T WANT THIS ONE TO END!! I LOVED IT! I JUST WISH INSTEAD OF DOING A QUICK CHAPTER TO END IT, IT WOULD'VE LASTED A BIT LONGER!

A bit different

than what you're used to, if a fan of the author but I did like this one. it was a little messy with the story and ended a bit abruptly I wanted a little more of the relationship but overall it was a good listen with good narration.

Wanted to love it, but not my favorite

Can take the narration in the 3rd person, drives me crazy. It had the bones and structure of a really good story, but was just missing something. Not my favorite… read Ryan’s bed, that was amazing!

Family is complicated

Entangled lives and intriguing connections galore in this story. Dani proved to be a fun main character with the perfect mix of spunk, sarcasm, and vulnerability. Getting to know her slowly through interactions with old friends and acquaintances, as well as the dysfunctional relationships with her family members, kept me coming back to listen every spare minute I had. I was invested in her relationship with Jonah from the very beginning, and my opinion of him rose with each new interaction. I love how Tijan brought forth information about multiple generations of O’Hara women to truly flush out the backstory and explain the complicated relationships. This story has easily become one of my favorite books this year and I can already tell it will remain top of mind for the next few weeks.

Not my favorite…

I’ve read and listened to many other works by this author and this just wasn’t my favorite. I wanted to like it and thought the story line had potential but I was just left unfulfilled. There was so much time spent on the different character story lines but I just didn’t feel like they all came together cohesively and the ending seemed rushed. The quick epilogue wrap up seemed almost like a forgotten after thought. Maybe the book was a better read but I was just disappointed with it as an audible.
