Synopsis

Moving back to her hometown was never at the top of Joy Henderson's to-do list. With a successful career in San Francisco and plenty of opportunity for casual relationships, the last thing Joy wants is to return to the small town she'd planned her whole life to escape. But family obligations pull her back home and it isn't long before Joy runs into someone she's always dreamed of seeing again—the first girl she ever imagined kissing. Kelsey West.

Olympic dreams are a thing of the past for Kelsey. Now an out of work swim coach recovering from a bad relationship, she's back home only long enough to get her life together. When she learns that Joy Henderson, the high school crush she never forgot, is also back in town, she can't help but wonder if there's a chance to rewrite the past.

Time has changed their hometown. Time has changed Kelsey and Joy. But when it comes to two women who have never trusted love—has time changed them enough?

Goodreads review by Ayse on May 21, 2018

These were among the most messed up people I've read about in a romance in a while. the obstacles between them though a little cliche felt realistic because of how real the problems felt. the writing really made it feel like a real description rather than fiction -- growing up biracial in a small to......more

Goodreads review by Christina on August 07, 2021

2 stars. Because I did finish it. But do I feel fulfilled or satisfied or happy at all that I did so? Not really. This came up as a recommendation on Hoopla because I've listened to a handful of other novels narrated by Lori Prince. Unfortunately, not even Lori Prince could save this one. An optometri......more
