Prove Me Wrong

By: Tessa Marie

Narrated by: Julia Farmer

A single secret changes everything.

With no college ambition - or desire to care - Luke Hannon's ready to bail on school before senior year even begins. But when he spots the hot new girl reading an upside-down map, he changes his mind.

Hailey Saldino desperately wants to start fresh at a school where she's free of the snide remarks and hurtful stares. A place where no one knows her past...or her son, Brady.

Luke wants a no-strings-attached physical relationship - until Hailey becomes more than a cute girl in a skirt. Usually his bad boy reputation hooks the ladies, but it won't be enough to land a girl like Hailey. Needing a lasting approach, Luke decides to be honest. No lies. No BS. As the connection between them deepens, Luke shares all his shameful secrets.

Afraid to lose one of the few people who's ever looked at her as something other than a slut, Hailey buries herself in compounding lies. And when her purposeful deceit blindsides Luke, he must decide if he'll walk away or accept Hailey and the little man she already loves.

3.5 Baby’tastic Star’s

This was a first for me by this author, I am glad I got the chance to listen. I even really enjoyed the narrator in this very believable for the age of the characters.

It’s been a while since I listened to a YA novel.
Luke, starting out his senior year in high school, he is pretty popular esp. with the girls. Only he is a little board. Enter in new girl Hailey he kind of sets his sights on her. So he puts himself in her path a lot.
Hailey just wants to have a normal senior year well as normal as it can be with a big secret. She isn't looking for a boyfriend and pretty much avoids all the boys but Luke makes it hard to do that.
I love both Luke and Hailey’s moms in this book there unwavering support is special not a lot of moms are like that esp. with some of the stuff your dealing with in this book.

Here is where I have an issue with Hailey, she knows what it’s like to be judged, yet her and her friends judged other girls. I didn't really like that but its High School so you kind of get that. I just thought Hailey was above that esp. from what she has already gone through.
Same with Luke when met with hard choices he says he doesn't want to be his dad yet he kind of did the same thing. Yes I know High School but I just wanted more understanding i guess.

Over all a great read one I would listen to again to be honest. Its YA and YA is meant to be young adults, know what you’re reading. 

Sweet YA Romance

Any additional comments?

Sweet & Nice coming of age YA book.

This story could be any teenage girl who finds herself in this situation. Its hard being a teenager. With all the normal and life changing awkward things teenagers are going through, it always has been and will always be a trying time for teenagers and adults alike.

While the story is nothing new, it is an emotional sweet story about Hailey and Luke two normal teenagers who are not what they seem at first glance. Even though you know how the story basically is going to unfold, it is an entertaining and emotional listen that keeps you cheering for Hailey and Luke. I liked how the real emotions and struggles of being a teen mom are not glossed over. It made the story that much more believable. The story also shows that not all teen boys are immature, some are willing to step up and take on this type of responsibility. Love that Hailey and Luke get a HEA.

Julia Farmer did a fantastic job narrating the story. Her voices for each character were great. She brought the characters to life.

This is the first time I have listened/read a book by Tessa Marie. This is the only book of hers on Audible at this time. Hopefully in the future there will more.

Prove Me Wrong

"This audiobook was provided by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review courtesy of Audiobook Blast."

A typical YA book with angst, romance, sluty girl, creepy guy, a guy that takes what he wants and moves on; and teen mom who flip flops between absolute adoration for her baby and denying he is her child. These are all believable of teens. Not a bad book.


The narration was well done. The characters were excellently portrayed.

Sweet Young Adult Romance

I received a free copy of the audiobook for an honest review.

Prove Me Wrong is a sweet romance about two high school seniors. Hailey is new in town. Her mom moved her here because Hailey had a baby and her mom wanted her to be able to experience being a "normal" teen without the stigma of being a teenage mom. The problem is that that means Hailey is lying to everyone she meets.

Luke is the typical good looking love 'em and leave 'em kind of guy. When he meets Hailey he falls head over heels. He is suddenly interested in only Hailey and making her happy. He doesn't even try to get her into bed, wanting to take it slow. It's hard to believe that a player could make such a complete change in such a short time but we can always dream.

Julia Farmer did a good job narrating. I was able to always tell who was talking and she had good timing.

I recommend Prove Me Wrong for anyone who enjoys sweet young adult romances.
