Summary

The girl who got away.

Twenty years ago, best friends Alice and Misty shared a kiss...and then their entire relationship unraveled. 

Alice Cavanaugh has spent the past 20 years trying to forget her best friend's betrayal. She moved on with her life as a single mother and librarian in her hometown. But when Alice finds out Misty is coming for their high school reunion, she can no longer hide her feelings.

In 1996, Misty Morse promised Alice they would go to Seattle together, so Misty could pursue her dream of being a musician. With one quick, fearful decision, though, Misty ended up on her own. And she has regretted it ever since. 

When Misty returns, the former friends are thrown together for more than a week in small-town Vermont. Can Alice forgive Misty for leaving her behind all those years ago? And will Misty tell Alice how she really felt about her all along?

Could not get into story.

Twenty years is a long time. For me, too long to accept that something like this could ever happen but I finished it accepting that it is a work of fiction. Many repetitious lines of regret. This one just wasn't my cup of tea it's my second audio book by Jea Hawkins. I really enjoyed As Long As Love Lasts so I was disappointed with this one.
Lori Prince's narration helped me to the finish
At my request I received a free code for a fair and unbiased review of this book.

Friends in love

This book was a sweet story of two best friends that have loved each other for a long time but bad choices were made when they were younger that broke them apart.

Misty left Alice behind and moved so she could have a singing career and she became a celebrity.

Alice got her dream job at the library and was a single mother to her now teenage daughter.

But Alice and Misty never stopped loving each other and this book is about them getting to know each other again,
making up and saying sorry for the mistakes they made, especially Misty as she left Alice behind.
The story is written from both woman’s point of view.

Excellent narration by Lori Prince as always.
