Summary
Sarah Margo stomped out of the courthouse in sixth grade yelling, "I am never getting married!" The heartbreak of her parents' divorce and mother leaving never left her. That's why Sarah went out of her way to avoid meaningful relationships - the long-term boyfriend she didn't love and a fling that caused controversy. Her childhood love breaking her heart didn't help.
Sarah decides to leave the past in her Midwestern town and take an engineering job in New York City. New friends and a great career provide Sarah her ideal life until she collides with Iain Mackgale. As Sarah learns more about Iain, she discovers he has many secrets. While processing her unexpected feelings, she receives a life-changing phone call.
The Fall of Hidden Meadows is a funny and heartwarming story spanning 17 years of a girl's life as she navigates relationships, loss, and a life she never expected.

omg
wow SO MANY FEELS!!!! This book is a roller coaster of emotions. the narrator is new to me, and did a good job. the author is also new to me. Her words are woven to bring the reader through this roller coaster unscathed but all the better for it. Great book.

Never say never.
I enjoyed this audiobook, although I would class it as a Romance novel primarily and that's not my first choice of genre. It didn't hurt that I rather fancied Nick, the owner of the company that Sarah worked for.
Sarah Margo is traumatised by her parents' sudden divorce and vows never to marry. Her mother is a harridan and abuses Sarah psychologically. Her father, however, is adorable and things improve when she goes to live with him. As she matures, she throws herself into her career as an engineer and becomes super-proficient in her field. She works for a large company in New York and eventually gets sent to the parent company in Burrell, situated on an island in the English Channel (does this place actually exist, I couldn't find it?). That's where the story really takes off and the pieces begin to fit together.
On the downside, I thought this book was overly long, in fact the first part seemed a bit disjointed from the rest and at one stage I wondered where we were going. In the end it made sense, but I think I would have preferred the whole of the part be edited out and the important information drip-fed to us through the remainder of the book. This would have added interest as we read and cut out a large chunk that felt unnecessary.
In addition, there was rather a cast of thousands and when some of these people popped up again later in the narrative I admit, I wondered who they were. This is probably more of a problem in the audio version, where your speed is regulated by the narrator and doesn't give you much chance to think back. Which leads me on to the narrator, Gryphon Corpus, who did a pretty good job, although I wasn't too convinced by her upper-crust English accent (being English myself!).
As far as I'm aware this is the author's first book and in spite of my reservations I did enjoy it. There was just one odd chapter at the very end that suggested that everything had been planned from the start...no!!!

Funny , relatable, emotional and soul stirring
This is the first book I have read/listened to by Jenna Viers. The cover drea me to the book and i found that it spoke to me on some subconscious level. This book has everything you would look for in a well written story. It is funny , relatable, emotional and soul stirring .
Sarah is such a likeable character and as the book covers such a large time span of her life , you feel that you are on the journey of all the ups and downs along with her. i was given this book by the author/narrator in return for an honest and unbiased review
