Back to the Start

De: Monica McCallan

Narrado por: Lori Prince

When Remy's grandmother dies, it means leaving her life in San Francisco and returning to a town she swore she'd never revisit, forced to confront a world she'd worked hard to put behind her over the last twelve years.

She's not expecting that the first girl to ever steal her heart, the pretty, popular Fallon Lewis, is still around, and in a town this small, their paths continue to cross, much to Remy's dismay. It's hard enough seeing her first love, but it's exponentially more difficult when she can barely stand to look at the woman.

Remy's trip back has the possibility to open up doors she believed were shut long ago, but she's never planned on staying, and she definitely never planned on letting Fallon back into her life.

If she thought being a teenager in a small town was hard, she's about to find out how much harder life is when there's no one but herself to blame for her problems.

Contains mature themes.

Brilliant

Per usual, this story is amazing! This author is one of the best I've come across. This is the 5th book of hers that I've read and it's just incredible. I love it!!

Good but…

I’ve really started to love Monica McCallans’ books, but this one was a struggle. The constant mentioning of hair color was honestly annoying. There are a myriad of ways to describe characters especially when the hair color means nothing in the grand scheme of things.

Great audiobook

This was a very cute story about second chances at first love. Lori Prince did an amazing job now narrating this book. She really brought those feelings to life when listening to the book. My only struggle through this book was the constant saying of the brunette, and the blonde, why would you not just say Remi and Fallon. Other than that it was a great book.

Loved it

This was a cute story, it was well written, excellent MC narration was as always excellent and it well supported the book.

loved it

it's an awesome book love it and can't wait to listen to more of Monica's books

Life Decisions

Monica McCallan is good on how life decisions evolve from high school to a comfortable middle age. Fallon is a fascinating character who draws Remy out of her comfortable but shallow and empty Bay Area success. Sister Claire is an additional sweet treat. It begins slowly and with some confusion over events but credibly stumbles toward resolution with some great dialogue brought vividly to life by Lori Prince. A powerful but soothing read (listen in this case). Enjoy.

Blonde and Brunette!!!

The book was pretty good besides the author constantly referring to the main characters and the blonde or the brunette. It was really weird and I’ve never read anything like it. As much as she said it, I couldn’t always remember which was which. By the end of it I was just laughing but it was very strange. If the reviews worry you I wouldn’t recommend it, because it’s literally in 85% of the book.

This is my second time listening to this story!

Love the individual characters as well as how dynamic their relationship is over the period of time in the story. Lori Prince narration is great as always!
