You Knew Me When

De: Emily Liebert

Narrado por: Erin Bennett

Katherine Hill left her small New England hometown in pursuit of a dream. Now, 12 years later, she's a high-powered cosmetics executive in Manhattan and a much glossier version of her former self, unrecognizable to her family and old friends. Not that she would know - she hasn't been home in over a decade. Laney Marten always swore she'd never get "stuck" in Manchester, Vermont. No, she was destined to live out her glamorous big-city dreams. Instead, she wound up a young wife and mother. That was when her best friend ran out. When Katherine receives word of an inheritance from former neighbor Luella Hancock, she reluctantly returns home to the people and places she left behind. Hoping for a second chance, she's met by an unforgiving Laney, her former best friend. And there's someone else who's moved on without her - someone she once loved. Tethered to their shared inheritance of Luella's sprawling Victorian mansion, Katherine and Laney are forced to address their long-standing grudges. Through this, they come to understand that while life has taken them in different directions, ultimately the bonds of friendship and sisterhood still bind them together. But are some wounds too old and deep to mend?

This was a pleasant, feel good read.

What a fun book!

I loved this book. The girls became best friends at 11 years old-living two doors apart -running back and forth- inseparable. In the house between them was an older single woman who was their friend and surrogate mother Also a love story with the older brother and years of separation upon college graduation.

Not very good.

I had to force myself to finish it. I don't recommend this one. It didn't pull me in.

Wow

Only listened to about 30 minutes and am deleting the book. Not at all what I thought it would be. Not my type of book.
