Wren

By: Ashley James

Narrated by: Quinn Riley

Penelope Boswell is my best friend.

She’s my person.

She’s who I call when I have good news and bad.

She’s my comfort. My solace.

But in the same breath, she’s my want, my longing, my ache.

She isn’t mine.

She never will be.

It’s a special kind of cruel to be in love with someone you shouldn’t.

To know your heart beats for someone you can never have.

One phone call in the middle of the night, two thousand miles between us, and everything changes.

She’s hurt.

Sad.

Broken.

She needs me.

He broke her, and now it’s my responsibility to step in and pick up the pieces…But what will be left of me when all is said and done?

*Wren is a sapphic best friends to lovers novella that was originally published in the Worthy Pride Anthology.

I friggin loved it

Excellent writing and honestly I'd love to read a full-length novel about Wren and Nelly or other sapphic books by this author!!!!

The narrator’s voice was beautiful

So much story was written in this short novella. Beautiful story. The narrator brought the characters to life right from the beginning.

way to short but so good

Way to short but so good. The ending is not a bad ending nor is it a HEA but it will do. Narrator is the wonderful Quinn Riley.

Tenderness!

This was a short, sweet and tender story between best friends Wren and Nelly. It was much more than a cross country trip, but a very special journey as well. I would have enjoyed a full length novel. The narration by Quinn Riley was wonderful and filled with affection!

book 2

The story was such a good story. even though it was a short story. we need to know the ending. we need a book too. we need to know if she does go through with the divorce do they get together? what happens please book to

Short but so so sweet

A quick little listen but packed with so much. The character building was impressive in such a short story. I want more of them.

I love the story of 2 best friends falling in love

I needed a little more of the ending, but I loved it anyways it’s an amazing book

Heartfelt

This book was excellent. Loved the chemistry between MC’s and the way the tension built. The story was sad wistful and beautiful. Highly recommend you give this one a listen. Quin Riley was phenomenal as always doing the narration.
