Great chemistry between characters w/LOL moments

Good story with lots of colorful characters and interesting plot lines. Really liked the chemistry between Mattie and Syd. While I know the story continues into the book Aftermath, I almost wish McMan had decided to expand on and flush out several of the storylines more completely. Ultimately I think this could have been split things up into 2+ books. Might have read smoother in the last 1/3 of the book where there was a lot going on and things being brushed over. That said, I still highly recommend this book as a great listen. Found myself relating to many things. 👍👍

Best in the class

It's something really special in the class. Good plot, interesting characters, humorous and not dull in a moment... It's quite intriguing to follow changes in 'straight' personality to some kind of 'flexible', but actually based on true love to outstanding person.
I think that higher in the class might be only something like The Price of Salt, but you know it's pretty dumb to compare them)

This was amazing

I was afraid I will not be able to listen to this long long book, 21 hours is a chunk of time. But I couldn't let it go... I had to listen to all of it. It was a wonderful story, great characters and amazing narrating. As I already have the next two books on my iPad, I could go directly to the next one.

Intelligent and Delightful

Okay I don’t get all the snooty cultural references and somewhat elitist perspective, but I do appreciate the wit and wholesome yet sexy romance and the world of engaging characters who populate this series. Looking forward to the second book. Generous hours of intelligent and entertaining listening pleasure! Five stars!

Simply Divine

The narration, characters, story, and writing are simply phenomenal! Addictive, heartfelt, and masterful! I found this book via recommendations based on my library and now I am a dedicated Ann McMan fan! Can't wait to listen to all her available books!

Great find!

I stumbled across this title while perusing the Audible Plus catalog. Loved it! I appreciated the small town of Jericho and the people who know everyone’s business. Was thrilled to find 2 more books in this series!

Brilliant blue eyes, startling green eyes?

How many times does one stare and contemplate and consider and realize the eyes of the other person. On and on and on. Just couldn’t continue . Cute story but there must have been another way to write the attraction.

Awesome

This story is awesome you will laugh the characters are great and the storyline is exciting and refreshing.One of the best audiobooks I have listen to in long time.

A MUST READ

I've read so many books from so many great authors. Or rather, audiobooks. But, hands down This turned out to be my favorite Lesbian book. Ever! Wow. Wow. Wow. It's so long (28 hours so prepare yourself). The descriptions of Jericho and each characters is so detailed that you literally feel you've known the town forever and have grown up with these characters. And it's like 20 hours later into the book that FINALLY Syd and Maddie get together. Good God they take forever, but, it's so written in a perfect way that Ann McMan has you on the edge of your seat. I love how Syd takes a while to figure out that she's a lesbian and loves Maddie. Not an overnight story. And when they do finally get together, it's very detailed and they take their time to grow the relationship. And Ann McMan gives us the time to savor each characters growth. You just sit back and enjoy. The other characters are as funny and everyone at some point or another has you laughing out loud. What a beautiful story. Hands down, Ann McMan, I hope this becomes a long series! And Christine Williams does a great job!
