About this listen

The sport she loves is out of reach. The boy she loves has someone else. What now?

She expected to start Harkness College as a varsity ice hockey player. But a serious accident means that Corey Callahan will start school in a wheelchair instead. Across the hall, in the other handicapped-accessible dorm room, lives the too-delicious-to-be-real Adam Hartley, another would-be hockey star with his leg broken in two places. He's way out of Corey's league. Also, he's taken. Nevertheless, an unlikely alliance blooms between Corey and Hartley in the "gimp ghetto" of McHerrin Hall.

Over perilously balanced dining hall trays and video games, the two cope with disappointments that nobody else understands. They're just friends, of course, until one night when things fall apart. Or fall together.

All Corey knows is that she's falling. Hard. But will Hartley set aside his trophy girl to love someone as broken as Corey? If he won't, she will need to find the courage to make a life for herself at Harkness - one that does not revolve around the sport she can no longer play or the brown-eyed boy who's afraid to love her back.

Loved this story. Couldn't put it down. Another sleepless night for me. Can't wait to read the next book.

Beautiful Book

I've listened to the whole series. I absolutely love that these main characters have to tackle real big life issues. Especially Graham's story made a big impression on me. (I didn't finish book 4 though, the female main character irritated me too much. But I think that was just a personal issue I had with her character.) Book 5 was awesome again 👍

Narrators were all great. Well done 👍

Great romance stories of people with real issues

The year we fell down is a brilliant story. I thoroughly enjoyed following this series. I don’t think it matters what order you read them, I think I’ve got a bit out of order. I’m catching up. I’m really enjoying the storyline narration is excellent.

Excellent

I thoroughly enjoyed this story and could not stop listening. It was refreshing to have characters that weren't usually in your typical romance story.

I really loved this story. I didn’t love the voices in parts - the male doing the female voice sounded a bit strange. But this was only in small sections and was not a big deal.

Loved this story - very genuine

I have now listened to this audiobook about 4-5 times. It is such a sweet "friends to lovers" book. Hope fairies, s&*t to shovel and great friends make this an easy listen!

This is the first of now many Sarina Bowen books I have read/listened to and she never disappoints!!!

Sweet Romance

These main characters had great connections, their conversations were fun and easy, and they challenged one another. A great new adult romance.

Friendship, love and support

Not a standard book, very refreshing. Also no miscommunication or third act break up. Moves along at a perfect pace

Very enjoyable

The characters’ journeys were so real and engaging. A sweet romance that deals with some heavy stuff in a really well-done way.

Smart, moving, sweet

A bit young for me with an obvious plot. Didn't enjoy the male narrator's female voice - made her very whiny.

Okay
