Don't fall in love. Hide, and you'll make it through.
The last thing on Esther Dunja's mind is falling in love. Her goal is to keep her head down and slide through the next twelve years until her son graduates. After being run out of the last school she taught at by her ex, Esther needs to make this new teaching job work. It's her last chance to retain custody. The problem is she never anticipated falling for her son's kindergarten teacher.
Melanie Przybyla is a single mom to four grown kids, and she finally has time for herself—or so she thought. With family drama on the rise and a new teacher in her school that she can't stop thinking about, Melanie comes to a startling realization: She's attracted to women. She just has to figure out why Esther Dunja is so terrified and how she can date her student's mom.
When conflicts of interest abound, Melanie and Esther have to navigate what they're willing to risk to let their love blossom.

Esther’s journey was particularly compelling. Watching someone who has been so thoroughly belittled, manipulated and disempowered struggle to stand up for herself was, at times, incredibly frustrating. I found myself wanting to reach through the audiobook and tell her to find her voice and recognise her own worth!
But that’s also what made her journey so meaningful. With patience, encouragement and support, she slowly begins to rediscover her strength and realise that she deserves so much more.
The characters are wonderfully flawed, complicated and human, which made the relationships feel all the more genuine.
My only real disappointment was the epilogue. I would have loved a little more closure and a longer glimpse into where everyone ends up. Perhaps the next instalment will give us some of those answers!
🎙️ The Narration
Lori Prince and Quinn Riley were, as always, fabulous. Both brought the characters and their emotional complexities to life beautifully. Their performances made an already engaging story that much more enjoyable.
💕 Overall: A heartfelt sapphic romance about reclaiming your identity, finding your voice and discovering that love can help you see the strength you’ve always had within yourself. A little frustrating at times, certainly emotional, but thoroughly enjoyable.
Definitely worth a listen! 🎧❤️
