Publisher's Summary
A long time ago, Joel Wentworth told me he'd love me for infinity...and I can't give up hope that it might have been true.
How long does it take to get over your first love?
Eight years should be long enough. My mind knows that, but there's no convincing my heart.
Guys like Joel weren't supposed to fall for girls like me. He had his pick of women at University, but somehow the laws of nature were defied and we fell crazy in love.
After graduation, Joel left to pursue his career in New York. He wanted me to go with him but my life was in London.
We broke up and my heart split in two.
I haven't seen or spoken to him since he left.
If only I'd known that I'd love him this long, this painfully, this desperately. I might have said yes all those years ago. He might have been mine all this time in between.
Now, he's moving back to London and I need to get over him before he gets over here.
But how do I forget someone who gave me so much to remember?

Excellent Narrator!
Saskia’s narration was outstanding - female/male roles were distinctive - all the characters voices had unique voices - causing the story to flow smoothly.
The indecision of the relationship dragged on - overall I enjoyed it 🥰

Surprisingly VERY good!
Loved every minute of it. Loved how it goes back and forth to present time and years past.
I don’t like giving much off in reviews. This is a book worth reading and very enjoyable. O totally recommend it!
Big big kudos to Saskia M. the narrator. She did an amazing job giving each character a different voice and persona.
What a great book. Made my gardening 👩🌾 time much more enjoyable 😁

If you like macho bullsh!t, this book is for you
Lost me as soon as Joel said he "owned" Ava. Fast forwarded through the icky misogynistic love scenes and Ava's insecure whining.

Ava is just pathetic
Had a very hard time finishing this. Narration was excellent but the main character, Ava, moan, moan, moan. "I'm not good enough for Joel", "What will my friends think", "He's too good for me", OMG. She is just pathetic. do not recommend. 9 hours of my life, gone (could have been 2 but I kept hoping she would grow a pair, I'm an optimist)
