About this listen

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Say You'll Remember Me comes a beautiful, compelling novel that revels in laughter, friendship, and the messy choices life can throw our way.

In everyone’s life, there’s a split-second decision that can change everything...

For Larissa, it came when choosing who to ride home with after a concert. That night, she had no idea she’d met the perfect man. She and Chris are great friends, co-parenting a slightly unhinged rescue Yorkie, sharing their favorite books, and judging bread (pumpernickel for the win!). For the first time amid all her side hustles to scrape by, things finally feel easy.

But she didn’t choose Chris to drive her home all those months ago—she went with his best friend, and he became her boyfriend. All Chris wants is for Larissa to be happy. Standing by on the sidelines is slowly killing him, but making a move would destroy someone else. How can something that feels so right be absolutely impossible?

What the critics say

“A compulsively readable slow-burn romance full of grown-up worries and plenty of pining.”

I wasn’t sure if anything could knock off Part of your world from the top of my Abby Jimenez book list, but this one I think took the cake!

A heartbreaking story with a beautiful ending. The performances were top notch and really helped to give you all the feels! I was really in my feeling with this one. Loved it!

My favourite one thus far!

“This man loved me. Many men had claimed to. This is what love looks like and I was almost glad that I’d been shown what love isn’t my whole life so I’d know what it was when I finally saw it.”

Love an Abby Jimenez book, and this was is especially soulful and heart wrenching. The love story in it is lovely and yearning but honestly the part that had me tear up a bit was the friendship between the MMC and his best friend, the evolution that relationship takes. There’s depth of character here, humour, realistic human failures and traumas and Jimenez wrote it all with poise, tenderness and gave the FMC a spine of steel. Loved it.

Yearning and Great Depth Of Character
