About this listen

Sticks and stones will break my bones, but words will never harm me. Whoever coined that phrase is a bald-faced liar. Words are often the sharpest weapon of all, triggering some of the most powerful emotions a human can experience.

"You're pregnant."

"It's a boy."

"Your son needs a heart transplant."

Sticks and stones will break my bones, but words will never harm me. Lies. Syllables and letters may not be tangible, but they can still destroy your entire life faster than a bullet from a gun. Two words - that was all it took to extinguish the sun from my sky.

"He's gone."

For 10 years, the darkness consumed me. In the end, it was four deep, gravelly words that gave me hope of another sunrise.

"Hi. I'm Porter Reese."

This is not a Light read. Full of grief and heartache, it's also a story of survival and connection. And that's BEFORE the ultimate twist. About to start book two because I gotta know how and IF they can get past this.

Heartbreaking and unexpected

Ok so it took a little to get into as I wasn’t a huge fan of the female narrative & found myself drifting & having to re-listen to follow the storyline. However, as the story developed I became enthralled by it. Beautifully sad & wonderfully funny throughout this book is worth the listen. But… be prepared to fall in love with the characters & then to have your hopes blown up at the very end. Must now hurriedly listen to part 2 of this story to regain composure & understand why…..

What the actual **** oh cliffhanger +++
