Ten Mile Bottom

De: Teodora Kostova

Narrado por: Christopher Weeks

Hitting rock bottom is just the beginning....

At 24, Finnegan Hart has already achieved what most people do in a lifetime. He’s a best-selling author who lives in the heart of London, drives his dream sports car and attends the most exclusive parties. But appearances are deceiving.

Once the spotlight fades, Finn is left alone with his overactive mind, alcohol and drugs the only way to quiet the noise.

Until an overdose nearly kills him and drags everyone he loves down with him.

Desperate to escape London’s toxic influence, Finn moves to Ten Mile Bottom - a small town in the outskirts of Cambridge - to try and put his life back together.

The last thing he expects is to fall in love.

Ben Goodwin is everything Finn isn’t - kind, empathetic and drop-dead gorgeous. He’s everything Finn needs.

Afraid to drag Ben into his messy life, Finn tries to resist their attraction. But when Finn finally shows Ben the darkest corners of his soul, will love be enough to make Ben stay?

Good Book!!

I really enjoyed this book it’s different than most of the romance books I listen to but I was caught up in Finn’s world from the beginning to end.

Loved it.

Ten Mile Bottom is told from the perspective of Fin. A best seller author who is addicted to drugs and alcohol. After ODing in a club he's faced with some hard truths and moves to Ten Mile Bottom to try and get a foothold on his life and keep busy with his new house so he doesn't turn back to drugs. He still struggles with his addiction. He meets Ben, a shy but adorable mechanic after having some car trouble.

The following is my reactions during different parts of this book. I received this audiobook in exchange for a honest review.


Into the second chapter of this book and I'm already sucked in. Narrator is amazing.

Chapter 8. I'm adoring Fin's BFF Aiden. Fin though is a bit of a prick. But after learning about a devastating tragedy (or 2) that was loosely connected to the OD Fin had (OD happened in the first few chapters so I don't feel this is a spoiler) you can tell he's trying not to be such a prick and is attempting to find his footing on life in a small town, Ten Mile Bottom, away from everything and everyone he's use to and stick to his sobriety. I have a feeling I'm going to fall in love with Ben though. Also hoping to see more of Fin's neighbors.

Chapter 12. Literally too caught up in Fin that I just realized this is more of a slow burn book. He's becoming more of a lovable prick. I want this book not to end. Also there are more of the neighbors. 😃

Chapter- I'm not telling anymore.

🥺 my heart.

I want to stab this female character. I love a good balance of family drama though.

Okay at this point I feel like saying anymore will ruin the book. But I love this book and the word from the author at the end was heart warming.

I would have loved too have seen more of Rose and know more about her family drama but really that's all I felt I missed. The narrator did such a great job with Ben's mom's voice. All the voices really but her's seemed more complicated to do. Most of the love scene are sweet and meaningful but there's a few rough and hard in there.

10/10 would recommend.

Good story

I’m a sucker for a story about human growth. I was hesitant to listen to this because of the angst involved with Finn being an addict, and I’m currently one month into the quarantine (COVID-19), but I don’t regret listening to it. I enjoyed the narrator’s accent, as well.

Loved the book and the audio is just as good!

This was my first time listening to Christopher Meeks, but I hope it won't be the last. He brought just the right tone to this emotional, heartfelt story.

Love in Ten Mile Bottom

Finn is falling apart. Drugs and alcohol are destroying him. After a close call he decides to get a fresh start in Ten Mile Bottom. Finn is grumpy and standoffish and I kind of loved him. Ben is a super sweet mechanic and perfect for Finn. I also really liked Finn's friend Aiden who I hope is getting his own story. Seems like he gives everything to Finn and I'd like to see him get a HEA of his own. This is a sweet story of Finn finding himself and falling for Ben. It is told entirely from Finns POV, sometimes I wanted to know what Ben was thinking, but it works well for this story. Narrator was new to me and I thought he did well.
