Before Us

By: Jewel E. Ann

Narrated by: Michael Gallagher, Charlotte North

I never saw him coming.

I didn’t know what would happen after my client found me sleeping in my car.

I’d been cleaning his house as his wife was dying.

I didn’t expect them to invite me to live with them.

I didn’t expect Suzie to become my lifeline—until she was gone.

I didn’t expect him to ask me to marry him when he found out I needed medical insurance.

I didn’t expect to fall in love with a grieving man.

There are so many reasons to keep my distance from Zach. Every tender moment secreted away.

When we’re not together, I miss the man I call husband.

Does he miss his wife? If so, which one?

Get your soul ready for this one

This story tore me up! There were lots of ups and downs, and laughs and tears. Although I did feel a little frustration with the main characters back-and-forth indecisive feelings that they did, and didn’t share. I’m sure this will be one of those books that I wish I could read for the first time over again 

Riding was wonderful

Some of the phrases in the book were really beautiful. They were well thawed out and full of emotion. I enjoyed the character development and thought Zack was awesome.

Loved it! If “it’s complicated” were a book.

Loved the complexity of the characters and their relationships. More than anything though, this book was philosophical in nature. #AllLove

Pulled at every heartstrings

This audiobook had a chokehold on me during every minute of listening to it!
It’s full of emotional angst. There was sadness of suffering, of loss, of long distance love and for caring for someone so deeply. But also full of inspiration, to follow your dreams, to be honest with what you want in life or in a relationships, to understand your self worth and to always go for a second chance at love.

Check your trigger warnings
And dive into this beautiful story.
