Left of Forever

A Spunes Novel

De: Tarah DeWitt

Narrado por: Connor Crais, Megan Wicks

"Narrators [Megan] Crais and [Connor] Wicks bring the Byrds to emotional heights, perfectly capturing the adult voices of thirtysomethings Wren and Ellis." — Library Journal

An emotional, irresistible second-chance romance filled with sparkling humor, big feelings, and "melt your face off intimacy" (Jessica Joyce) from celebrated USA Today bestselling author Tarah DeWitt.

This time, they'll get it right.

Wren and Ellis Byrd fell in love as kids, had their son Sam when they were only teenagers, and built a life together in the coastal town of Spunes, Oregon. They were made for one another . . . until they fell apart. Now divorced and in their 30s, Wren runs the bakery in town, while Ellis works as a firefighter. They live separate lives, though they are hardly off each other’s minds.

When Ellis and Wren move Sam into college, Ellis convinces Wren to take an extended road trip back to Spunes to see if they can give their relationship one last chance. Amid the gorgeous California coastline and the intimacy they have missed for years, Wren starts to think it just might be possible. But can the past truly be left behind? When words fail and old wounds resurface, it’s a soul-baring letter that could finally reveal the truth—or close the door on them forever.

Sweet, Funny, Moving Story

This story is so well written and performed that I could and would not stop listening til the end. It's that perfect combination of sweet, funny, and soul wrenching moving that it just pulls you in and doesn't let go until your smiling at the end. Not only is the story amazing but the performers make it come alive. My only critique would be that I wish I could've heard Ellis's thoughts and feelings more. However, overall I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this book!! It has become one of those favorite treasured stories that I'll listen to again and again!

Emotional Second Chance

This was a very heartfelt and emotional examination of a relationship and what went wrong. Loved being back in Spunes and enjoying the cast of characters from the precious book as well.

Second Chance Emotional Love Story ❤️

Not going to lie, my expectations were pretty sky high for this book when I started reading. The praise and hype gave me high hopes for my first five star read of July. Left of Forever is worth every single star I could possibly give to a book.... when you see this book on people's top reads lists - it is for a very good reason. It is simply the most powerful second chance romance I think I've ever read. I don't know if there is another MMC who captures the spirit of a true romantic hero more perfectly than Ellis Byrd. In his quest to win Wren back, he allowed himself to be vulnerable, he was open, honest, paid attention to details about what she needed and cared for her in such a beautiful way. Wren, in return, gave of herself and allowed the walls to come down to be free to open her heart and let Ellis back in. It was so obvious these two never stopped loving each other. This was a powerful journey to experience them growing back together. Listening to it on audio made an even bigger impact, the narrators were phenomenal - they gave me goosebumps and caused tears to well up in my eyes. Left of Forever is going to be a top read of 2025.

Swooooon 😍😭

It's so good. Such a great love story, well written. Narrators were great, although I do wish it had been narrated in duet.

Absolutely a must read

This books is so tender and sweet and wonderful. It’s so clearly how much Ellis and Wren are soulmates right off the bat.
