They got everything they wanted...but never had each other.

Touré Wallace and Niomi Spencer were close friends at Finley College, the prestigious HBCU they attended. The attraction that simmered between them every semester was a question they never got to ask or answer before soaring ambitions launched them to opposite corners of the world. Both chased their dreams of grit and glamor as high-profile journalists. They got it all...except a shot at being more than friends.

Years later, Touré is an award-winning investigative journalist and Niomi is America's most popular morning-show host, but they both feel like something’s missing. When their alma mater recruits its most famous alums for an interview during homecoming, every look, every touch is electric. The air hums with what could have been, and they're tempted by what they could have right now, if only for one weekend. Have they traveled the world, chasing something special, when all it took was coming home?

Featuring the musical stylings of Southern University’s marching band, Human Jukebox!

The story in general is not deep. People who have been longing for each other for 20-something years? See each other and fall in love? Just pathetic.
And I hated the woman’s voice, and she’s supposed to be working on tv ????

too superficial

Kennedy Ryan wins again with a fully human romantic story that proves that romance is just magic + vulnerability + humanity. The main and minor characters are so multilayered and rich. I’m always in awe of how well-researched each aspect of Ryan’s universes are. Whether she’s writing about autism, sports, politics and now HBCUs. Her writing has changed my life and has been so cathartic and inspiring. And lastly, JAKOBI DIEM. Omg. He needs to narrate everything. I would let him narrate my daily life and just be guided by that chocolatey baritone — good god. His voice is insanely sexy but also so versatile. He makes Ryan’s words leap. Thank you both!

Kennedy Ryan Can’t Write a Bad Book. I’m a KR addict.

It was a nice story, but predictable. I did not like the beginner with all of these long phone calls. Also, I did not enjoy the lady's voice.

Nice story

This novella is worth every minute. It has enough story to be a novel and the voice actors are fantastic, giving it a radio play feel. I’ll be looking for more from this author and the voice actors.

Short but packed

The overall story was good, but the female narrator was very choppy. Felt like they were trying to do spoken word but it was also their first time reading.

Meh
