Lovefest

De: JA Armstrong

Narrado por: Xe Sands

Jordan Cullen is a nineteen-year-old sophomore at Smith College in Northampton, Massachusetts. She invites her grandmother and best friend, Ellie, to visit for Parents' Weekend and meet her favorite professor and adviser, Dr. Hay. Ellie never imagined that Dr. Hay is none other than Jean Hay, her former flame, and first love. Ellie left many things unsaid when they parted, leaving Jean to mend the pieces of a broken heart. Fifty-four years later, the two stand in front of each other, feeling mixed emotions.

Ellie has called California home for the last half-century, where she has worked as a painter and art teacher while raising two children with her late husband. After completing her doctorate in political science, Jean settled in Massachusetts, where she remains a respected professor. She has been single for the past twenty years after ending her thirty-year relationship with her best friend, Beth Davison.

No one in Ellie's family knows about Jean. Everyone in Jean's life has heard of Ellie. Is it possible to resurrect a love lost for many years? Ellie and Jean are about to discover that certain stories are still waiting to be written.

This gives hope to us older women

I truly liked the slow burning of the story, the language but also the description of everything.
I also really liked how the narrator could bring young and older voices to life.
Sometimes the quality of the recording wasn’t great but still well enough that I felt listening to this audiobook was better than reading it myself.

Finally! Something for the elders.

I love that this story is focused on elders in the queer community. Well done, JA Armstrong

A great story

Finally a book that talks about women “my age” in the autumn of their life. Well written, I loved the MC and the younger ones.well narrated, the voice matched the ages…

Love Later in Life

A beautiful romance where young love reconnects later in life. Perfectly narrated. I loved that these two enjoyed sex which many feel ends after a ‘certain’ age. The granddaughter accidentally reintroducing the two MC was a nice touch. I also enjoyed the flashbacks to the summer they met.. I hope I meet someone with this level of connection at this stage. Thanks for having the courage to write this romance. I hope you write others in this age group
