About this listen

Cutler Ryder was everything I wasn’t.

He was the hockey star. I was an outcast. He was best friends with my stepbrother, that same stepbrother who hated me. His two parents loved him. My mom was a junkie. My dad barely knew me.

Years passed. I got my life together. Cut went onto NHL stardom. Then there was a text.

I was drinking. There was a party. Cut was there....

I loved Cutler Ryder since the first moment I saw him.

The only problem? He never knew I existed.

Such an amazing story and a real insight into mental health! I’ve read a lot of Tijan’s books and this is the best one by far! Andy Ardnt is one of the best female voices on audible hands down! Will always give a book a go if she’s reading.

Amazing story!

An absolute must read! I started out not liking it, because it triggered me, my own childhood and her struggles, but I couldn't stop listening and crying. I also see my husband a whole new way for him accepting and anchoring me like Cut. Thank you, this has healed a part of me that I didn't realise was so raw.

Brilliant

This was an amazing story. In the acknowledgement section, Tijan wrote that this book was different from the previous books she has written, and it is, but it is still just as amazing as her previous books. I have always loved reading books written by Tijan and this is no exception. This book isn't just focused on the romance, but it is also focused on life struggles and events that can have different reactions with everyone. Cheyenne was such a great character with situations in her life that she definitely didn't deserve, and yet, after it all she still dealt with her situations, no matter how hard, and came out still swinging. This is definitely a book I would recommend to you if you think you would like this, because if you decide to read this then you will definitely love it just as much as I did. I listened to this as an audiobook and loved both the amazing narration and the whole storyline. I hope you decide to read (or listen to) this, Enjoy!

Wow this book was really something else. I was completely captivated by this story & the characters.

There is a lot of real topics mentioned in this book including mental health issues, bad childhood & drug use. Shi’s story was heartbreaking. Imagine being a child struggling in your own head & having not one person want you. Seriously the first part of the book had me raging!!!! I was so angry at Shi’s father & Natasha for not doing everything in their power to help her. Shi herself was so loveable, smart, beautiful and selfless. She just needed to be loved.

I absolutely adored Cut. He was nothing short of amazing 100% of the time. He was completely devoted to Shi from the moment he notices her. He is so understanding and it was so beautiful to read. The car park scene 🥰 So much intensity & looovvveeeeee!

Shi & her 2 besties are seriously GOALS! I loved reading their escapades. I loved that Shi had so many people around her that cared so deeply for her which made up for her shitty excuse of a family.

I also loved that Hunter maintained as much of a relationship with Shi as he could despite the family members trying to keep him from her. Don’t get me started on FUCKING CHAD! I’ve never loathed a book character more then Chad. Seriously I just couldn’t deal with how horrible he was and he didn’t even have a good excuse’ It was the definition of ‘but I was told... or ‘but I thought...’ I was so glad he basically disappeared & seemingly lost everything good in his life even though he was sorry at the end.

Seriously this book is worth the read. I literally didn’t sleep last night so I could finish it 😅

Narrators nailed it like always. Love these two!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Amazing book!
