Summary

Lauren Ashburn left a promising job to help her family in Vermont take care of her dying father. Now that he's gone, Lauren has every intention of returning to her old life—the vibrant, successful one her father had always expected her to have. But Lauren discovers that she feels adrift without his strict guidance.

Georgia Solomon designs homes for others. But as a bisexual autistic woman, she rarely feels at home herself. When her best friend dies suddenly, leaving her alone with their young daughter, her little slice of happiness vanishes. Now Georgia finds herself struggling to navigate a world that doesn't understand her at all.

Lauren and Georgia clash at a disastrous work meeting, but Georgia's daughter Hannah pulls them together despite themselves. As they discover new possibilities and priorities for the future, can they make room for love? Or will they have to leave each other behind—in order for them both to move forward?

I can't.....

I can't give this audio 4/5 stars for 'overall' or 'story' because the author thought it was a good idea to squeeze the usual breakup and HEA into the last 20 minutes. This story (and listener) deserved so much more than the author gave us at the end !
The narrator did a really good job and I will look for her in future narration's. The only redeeming feature is this was a free audiobook from the catalogue. I won't chance spending a credit on this author because of the aforementioned incase it's 'her thing' !

Quirky

All the people in this book are flawed characters with baggage, each of whom is demanding in their own way. Despite this, or perhaps because of this, they are likeable and engaging. It’s an enjoyable story of learning to recognise when and how you have succeeded.
