About this listen

Two strangers. One big coincidence. Driving each other crazy is just the beginning…

Harriet Hatley is running away from everything.

Getting married.
Her boyfriend’s family.
Her past.

A dream house-share seems like the perfect place to hide, but her unlikely housemate Cal is no stranger to running away himself. And he's also hiding secrets of his own . . .

Can these two take a crazy risk, face the past and finally find a reason to stay?

Another amazing book! I thoroughly enjoy this author, her characters, the laugh out loud moments and the longing I feel, when they end! I enjoyed the additional maturity and complexity of this main characters back story in comparisons to some of the others stories by this author :) and another fabulous narrator

She does it again!

Loved the story, nothing like a rom com story line I’ve read in a while. The friendship between Harriet & Lorna was lovely. I didn’t find it that predictable throughout. Overall easy listen!

Really enjoyed it!

In all honesty, I only bought this book to tide me over until my next Audible credit — but I ended up finishing it in two days when I’d planned to make it last three weeks. I’m a music major, so listening to music is always my go-to, but not for those two days. I honestly couldn’t put this book down.

I’ve been so over the cringe romcom lately (even though I secretly love them), but this one kept me on my toes. I was constantly shocked, and every time I thought we were settling into the cringy solid love interest in the story, it twisted again - their banter and humor was bloody brilliant

To be fair, I’m easily pleased and easily distracted by a good storyline - normally only something cringey or awful narration will pull me out of the world an author had created, but I really enjoyed this and felt myself totally immersed . The narration was great, the friendships were funny and full of personality, and it explored not just romantic relationships but how past ones shape you. It touched on messy girlfriend drama, great female friendships, and still gave us a satisfying love interest.
The character was a person she had a life - other characters had lives and you had this sonder every now and then knowing the characters were not only side characters but were dealing with their own things

I’m new to this author, but it’s safe to say I’ll definitely be picking up another one.

I couldn’t put it down

I really liked this book. Great characters and an important topic dealt with in a really approachable way. Also really funny in parts too.

not your average romcom novel

This was a good story about friend and romantic love, but also a good education into emotional abuse.

Enjoyable and relevant
