Wren

De: Ashley James

Narrado por: Quinn Riley

Penelope Boswell is my best friend.

She’s my person.

She’s who I call when I have good news and bad.

She’s my comfort. My solace.

But in the same breath, she’s my want, my longing, my ache.

She isn’t mine.

She never will be.

It’s a special kind of cruel to be in love with someone you shouldn’t.

To know your heart beats for someone you can never have.

One phone call in the middle of the night, two thousand miles between us, and everything changes.

She’s hurt.

Sad.

Broken.

She needs me.

He broke her, and now it’s my responsibility to step in and pick up the pieces…But what will be left of me when all is said and done?

*Wren is a sapphic best friends to lovers novella that was originally published in the Worthy Pride Anthology.

I friggin loved it

Excellent writing and honestly I'd love to read a full-length novel about Wren and Nelly or other sapphic books by this author!!!!

way to short but so good

Way to short but so good. The ending is not a bad ending nor is it a HEA but it will do. Narrator is the wonderful Quinn Riley.

Tenderness!

This was a short, sweet and tender story between best friends Wren and Nelly. It was much more than a cross country trip, but a very special journey as well. I would have enjoyed a full length novel. The narration by Quinn Riley was wonderful and filled with affection!

The narrator’s voice was beautiful

So much story was written in this short novella. Beautiful story. The narrator brought the characters to life right from the beginning.

I love the story of 2 best friends falling in love

I needed a little more of the ending, but I loved it anyways it’s an amazing book

how realistic it was

This was such a beautiful story about love, not just the kind that sweeps you off your feet, but the deep bond you share with a true friend. I really appreciated the tension between them, and I loved how Wren’s desire to save her came from a place of care, not manipulation. It felt more genuine that Wren wasn’t the one to make the first movv, it added an extra layer of authenticity. I hope this gets to be a movie one day.

Heartfelt

This book was excellent. Loved the chemistry between MC’s and the way the tension built. The story was sad wistful and beautiful. Highly recommend you give this one a listen. Quin Riley was phenomenal as always doing the narration.

Yassss!

Wow! This was phenomenal with all the emotions possible! I loved the writing and Holy Crap Quinn was perfect for this narration! 10s across the board! You better listen right now, not later!

the emotion and realness between the characters

This novella was perfection. I could feel the love between Wren and Nell with every word.

Too short

I wish the story was longer. But I definitely enjoyed it. Sequel please. There’s more to the story.
