Honesty

i really enjoy this read i have been a fan of thiers for years i have cp so i have been though similar issues itfelt so good hear al the other stories as well i would love to spend five with the the writers i do watch thier youtube channel i hope they continue in life and love

Enjoyable, hopeful & informative stories

I’m a huge fan of Shane and Hannah Burcaw, and have been waiting for this book for a while. It was good to hear all the couple’s love stories. I would’ve even loved to hear more stories and statistics. I didn’t care for all the voice actors as some of the original couple’s playful dialogue & humor was lost in translation. It would’ve been great to hear the actual couple’s voices, but that probably would’ve been a much more difficult thing to acquire. It was a good audible read overall. Shane & Hannah are always hilarious and wonderful. I’m so glad that they are teaching the world so much about love, accessibility, ableism and being Interabled. Hannah’s last line during the acknowledgments, had me roaring with laughter. Great way to end my listening adventure with Interabled.

A full spectrum of love stories

I loved this book by the Burcaw’s. I have listened to Shane Burcaw’s other books and I enjoyed this one even more with the telling of other couples stories and the narration of this book done by both Shane and Hannah. It gives a cheerful insight with the continual reminder that having a disability does not somehow interfere with being “normal”. All of these couples are in love. The same kind of love as any other couple. Perhaps even more caring, compassionate and communicative. I highly recommend this title.

Much needed and LONG overdue

These are the love stories that I’m thankful we can hear about — raw, real, and honest. Amazing collection of stories!

Baby dearest...hilarious hannah, love your break into the book there!

I think Shane and Hannah did a great job with this book! Especially since it's there voices narrating with a few other people.

Delightful!

This is a book for when you need a smile or a lift to your day. It’s wonderfully needed and well done.

Another fantastic Burcaw book

I loved Shane’s first few books and was super excited when Interabled was announced with him and Hannah. This one is distinctly unique and important as it’s accounts not only of their own interabled relationship, but of many other couples of all backgrounds, ages, gender identities, etc.. which are such important stories to document and tell. I can say listening to the unique strengths these couples have due to their disabilities or situations unique to them made me reflect on my own, non-interabled, relationship and how I can do better. Also, Shane and Hannah are hilarious and I loved listening to their familiar banter through this book.
