This was my first book by A.C. Arthur and sadly it just wasn't for me. Not a straight up romance or women's fiction story, it revolves around Savannah (Vanna), a Southern Black woman charged with burying her estranged dead husband.

While home she also gets a second chance with Aiden, a college crush who helps her with a court case she's involved in. It was all way too dramatic with a lot going on and though the narration by Wesleigh Siobhan (a new to me narrator) was really strong, it didn't make up for the chaos of the story. Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an early audio copy in exchange for my honest review.

I love the idea of the book. However, i was not a fan of the narrator. I had a hard time listening to the acent of the narrator. I will give this title another go with a physical book instead of audio.

This is a super approachable well written book that I enjoyed just didn’t quite relate to. I really appreciate the raw emotion and honesty through some tragedies that happen to Vanna. I really enjoyed the audio version the narrator does a great job with tone and expressing some humor. I Was getting a similar vibe to when Stella got her groove back. Which again I may be just too young to relate. Would recommend and certainly read more from this author.

Just when I thought reading this story was great. Listening to it took my enjoyment to the next level. Wesleigh Siobhan gave everything that was supposed to be given with this narration. She really brought these characters to life. Hearing her act of these characters showed the genius behind Arthur pen. It was a match in literary heaven. This is a definite audiobook buy and recommendation. 10/10

Thank you to NetGalley, Brilliance Publishing, and A.C. Arthur for the chance to read this book in exchange for my honest review.

This book kept me guessing all the way until the end. In fact, I couldn't tell if the love interest/MMC WAS the love interest/MMC until the end. (Anyone else? He was giving red flag/red herring vibes and he still doesn't sit right with me.. but if that's our FMC's type- then good for her!)

Narration was really well done! I would absolutely listen to this narrator again!
