Five Things

By: Violet Paine

Narrated by: Shiloh James, Christian Leatherman

After two years of living in the shadows, I force myself to leave my protective bubble and move to college. When I get there, though, and come face to face with the casualty of the greatest mistake of my life, I have to wonder whether I’ve made the right decision. But then, as time moves on, I learn how to breathe again, and that’s not something I’m willing to give up on.

Maverick may be determined to push me away—something I deserve—but all I want is to hold on to my freedom, and him, tighter. Will we find happiness with each other again, or are we destined to a lifetime of hurting one another?

Five Things is a standalone college contemporary romance, which contains heavier themes and situations that some may find triggering.

That female lead 😍

I haven’t read a romance book in a LONG time.
I can fully admit that I picked up this book to support my friend, Shiloh, who narrates the part of B(Beatrice). I never in a million years thought I would actually DEVOUR this book. I listened to the audiobook and the female lead on this was absolute perfection. I didn’t love the male lead, but he grew on me.
This book absolutely had me feeling as if they were MY friends and I was going through things WITH them. That is very important to me.

I’m very glad I gave this a try. I was pleasantly surprised for sure.

One of my favorite stories

This is one of my favorite books ever! I have read it many times! I love the narration, it brings the story I love so much to life! I feel this story in my bones! It may not be the same trauma, but I feel Bee’s pain!
