Story
Devon Douglas can’t believe it when she comes face-to-face with Sadie again. They were inseparable in high school until Devon did something she ruined their friendship on a lovestruck whim. Sadie is as dazzling as Devon remembers—and she can still hold her own surfing the wild waves of Clearwater Bay. Devon’s first priority is her five-year-old son, but getting to know Sadie all over again is taking up more and more of her headspace. Sadie is inexplicably drawn to Devon. It could be nostalgia. Or remnants of their old friendship flaring. But what if it’s more than that?

Story
Fun is the one thing Elsie Webb takes seriously. Though she'd be having a lot more of it if Haelstrom Media paid her enough to actually get out of debt. She's determined to hold out on contract negotiations for her kids' television show Fangley Heights until she gets what she deserves. There's only one problem, the head of the network just died and left her future more uncertain than ever. Forty-eight hours and one funeral—that's all Jones Haelstrom has to get through before she can return to her life in LA that's as ordered and sparse as an IKEA showroom.

Caitlyn Lloyd has the world at her feet. Or more accurately - under her horse’s hooves.

The fact that her old crush from Pony Club is on the team is just a bonus.

Publisher's Summary
Eighteen-year-old Charlee Parker met the love of her life in a parking lot-a leggy brunette with a valedictorian medal hanging from her rear-view mirror and an attitude as biting as a Boston winter. Alexandra Woodson was guarded, a 19-year-old orphan set on a bright future in hospitality administration. She never imagined an art student with a penchant for cheesy pick-up lines and stealing parking spaces would crack her rigid exterior and claim her heart.
For four years, theirs was an enviable love - evergreen and growing. Unbreakable... until it broke.
Alex's job now brings her back to Boston, after five years working on the opposite side of the country. When, by chance, they meet again, Charlee and Alex are swept up in a whirlwind of heart-rending history, tossed between past and present, and lovers old and new. Will their lingering connection be enough to convince them that some loves are meant to last? Or should the past remain in the past?
Contains mature themes.

it’s cold, it’s beautiful
i read most of this book when it was still in its beta phase, when the characters had different names which gave the story different meanings; i love it just as much now as i did then. this book will make you ache and cry and blush, and it will all be worth it. i loved living in this world, even for just a little while. may we meet again.

Angsty and sexy
This is my first KL Hughes book. Im a sucker for angsty second change romances and this one did not disappoint.
I really enjoyed how Charlees heartbreak and longing manifested itself in her art. These two cant keep away from either other and subconsciously revisit old places in their city where they think they might see each other. I enjoyed the longing stares and sexual tension between the two of them for the entire book. Some scenes had me laughing out loud, especially their awkward double date and how they explain it to their friends afterwards.
The book flicks between the past and present and does so gracefully, most of the time. I would have enjoyed a few more scenes of their relationship building in the past, but the book focussed on some pivotal moments in their relationship and spent a long time explaining and expanding there.
I think there an opportunity was missed to explain Alex's hurtful past and how they fell in love in the beginning. Their first love scene was interesting but I felt like it was too rushed and missed a little context.
Overall, I couldn't stop listening. I think I've listened to Abby Craden's voice longer than some of my closest family over the last 6 months. She does such a great job, its hard for me to give another narrator a chance.

These angst ridden characters had little to endear themselves. A story saved only by the excellent narrator

Wasn't sure if I'd like this book after the first couple of chapters but it grew on me to the extent I almost couldn't put it down. Abby Craden voices all the MCs very skillfully.

Hmmm
I enjoyed the story in its entirety due to “the one that got away” theme. However. However, the thing that didn’t sit well with me was the “past then present” storyline. That jarred my brain cells a bit and it was difficult for me to focus on the present. Another thing that exasperated me was the never ending profession of undying devotion between the main characters. Despite my complaints, as mentioned earlier, I enjoyed this book.

Such an epic, emotion filled story of a powerful, all consuming love. Wonderfully written with every emotion written being experienced as though you were the characters. Will be listening to this one over and over.

Beautiful Story
This was both beautifully written and narrated. I really enjoyed the flashbacks and felt like they added to the flow of the narrative.
The chemistry between Charlee and Alex seeps out of the pages, and even though it's clear that people are going to get their hearts broken, it is clear that these two belong together.
The secondary characters added so much depth to a angsty, yet touching story. It was quite emotional at times, but Hughes still managed to sprinkle it with humour.
