Before We Were Strangers

To the Green-Eyed Lovebird:

We met 15 years ago, almost to the day, when I moved my stuff into the NYU dorm room next to yours at Senior House.

You called us fast friends. I like to think it was more.

We lived on nothing but the excitement of finding ourselves through music (you were obsessed with Jeff Buckley), photography (I couldn’t stop taking pictures of you), hanging out in Washington Square Park, and all the weird things we did to make money. I learned more about myself that year than any other.

Yet, somehow, it all fell apart. We lost touch the summer after graduation when I went to South America to work for National Geographic. When I came back, you were gone. A part of me still wonders if I pushed you too hard after the wedding....

A sappy romance novel….and I LOVED it!!

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this book. I loved the story even though it was a little too saccharine but I didn’t care. I loved the characters and cared about what happened to them. The narration was excellent. Nothing deep just a story of love, loss, sadness and reconciliation. Light and enjoyable listening!

Loved this book!!

LOVE LOVE LOVED THIS STORY 😩. If love like this exists in real life I want it 😆

Heartbreakingly beautiful

This story is perfect. There is just enough tension in the story without it seeming too dramatic and overdone. A beautiful story of life pulling and pushing you in different directions.
Worth the read.

Voices

The story was so adorable, and I really enjoyed it! However, I didn’t quite get the vibe from the male character’s voice. It didn’t really match his personality at all. But once the female narrator started reading for him, I could totally tell he was supposed to be handsome and not super nerdy or hideous.

Love story

Sweet love story, this isn’t what I normally listen to but worth it. I can see the betrayal at the end but didn’t see it coming the way it did.

So beautiful

Thus love story i felt there connection! This is the first time I read anything by this author and I just felt in love with her writing on how she wrote on each character. I love the chemistry between them and how she described love.

Performance was goofy

Book may have been better to read than on audio. Character voices were child-like. The story was weak and holes in the logic.

So good!!!

Totally pulled me in. I couldn’t stop listening. Especially at the end. I could listen again right away. Such a great love story.

Amazing.

What a heartbreakingly, beautiful book. Grace and Matt always belong together they just had to take a few detours to get it right. They each had their struggles they each had their happiness, but they were never complete without the other. Learning you have a child 15 years after the fact would be hard on anybody. Matt handled it terrible to start with. When he finally decided to embrace, fatherhood, and be ashes father, he was amazing at it. Getting him and grace to reconcile and have the relationship they were always supposed to took a lot of hard work. Ash was the game changer in that and it was perfect. I love this Reed. I always like a good second chance, and this was an amazing one.

Just fair

I couldn’t connect to either of the main characters and the narrators didn’t help the cause. The premise of the story is decent but I couldn’t wait for it to end as I really didn’t like the characters.
