The Love Is a Privilege Series

By: Abigail Wild

Narrated by: Carmen Seantel

The Love is a Privilege Series does not need to be listened to in order.

Heartache, betrayal, and abuse: These are Mia’s lifelong companions, inflicted upon her by parents who wish she’d never been born. The night she was kicked out of the house, Mia would have frozen to death—if not literally, then emotionally—were it not for the love of her best friend’s family.

Intuition, love, and wonder: These are Sophie’s gifts, unleashed by her struggle with Cystic Fibrosis and her determination to live fully. When Mia tells Sophie about the long walk down the mountain in the snow, Sophie instinctively knows there is more to the story of Mia’s survival.. . . .

Critic reviews

"An amazing, brilliant, emotional roller coaster of a novel. From the very first page, I was catapulted into Mia's chaotic life. Wild masterfully describes the fear, pain, and upheaval of living with an abusive, alcoholic mother; the excitement and uncertainty of first love; and the precarious alliances that are part of adolescent friendships. But through it all is the best-friend-who-is-closer-than-a-sister who reminds her to be open to the magic that is all around her waiting to be discovered."—Leta Hawk, author of the Kyrie Carter: Supernatural Sleuth series

Important story, beautifully told

This story of teen girls dealing with various trials in life is masterfully written. The narrator missed the mark for me with Mia’s mom sounding like a cartoon villain, otherwise great.
