About this listen

One wedding. One ex. And one week of chaos that might just lead to forever.

Emma Smith closed the door on New Orleans and the painful memories it held long ago. But when her best friend's wedding pulls her back to the vibrant city she swore she'd never revisit, a familiar voice on the plane sends a jolt through her. Suddenly, the memories of one unforgettable summer—and the woman who made it so special—flood back.

For Riley, life in New Orleans flows as smoothly as the Mississippi. The family business is her focus, and the dreams of her youth have settled into the past. Until Emma's unexpected return.

Thrown together for a week of wedding celebrations, the spark between them reignites, unsettling Riley's carefully constructed contentment. But as laughter and old feelings resurface, so do the reasons Emma left. Can they seize their second chance at love, or are some wounds too deep to heal?

I loved this when I read the book and I am amazed at how beautifully it has translated into an audiobook. It retains everything I enjoyed when reading it but with Abby Craden adding real voices and so much depth into the characters bringing the whole story to life. All the emotions had me flip-flopping all over the place. Smiling and laughing at all the pranks the friends got up to in the pre wedding week, crying and desperate at the situation Riley and Emma found themselves in and everything in between. The dynamics of the whole group getting to know each other and becoming friends was heartwarming and I really did not want it to end. Ally Mcguire has a wonderful way of bringing a story to life, she just makes you feel a part of what is going on, probably because she keeps her characters so real and true to life. Then, at the point when a lot of authors would end the book, she pushes it that bit further giving you a far more believable end to the book.

All the emotions had me flip-flopping all over the place.
