When Sparks Fly

An Absolutely Addictive Lesbian Romance Novel

By: Kristen Zimmer

Narrated by: Lynn Norris

The room is dark, except for the streetlights coming through the blinds. I can barely see her, but I feel her. She pushes me up against the wall, and we kiss harder than we ever have before. I’ve been waiting so long for it to happen, and finally, it’s going to. Then the bedroom door flies open, and someone screams her name....

Britton Walsh has never had a home. After a lifetime in the care system, she doesn't expect she’ll ever find one. But beginning her senior year with new foster parents, in a new city, means starting over - yet again. Tom and Cate Cahill seem okay. The hitch? Their daughter, Avery.

Beautiful, popular, and cool, Avery is everything Britton is not. She’s all Britton could ever ask for in a sister, or even a friend - but having survived without either for so long, Britton knows the way her heart races whenever Avery enters the room can only mean one thing....

But Avery has a secret. Something that is eating away at her and stopping her from letting anyone in, least of all Britton. Will Avery’s insistence on punishing herself for a mistake in her past make Britton's last year of high school, and finding a place to call home, impossible? Can two people so different ever find common ground, friendship, or maybe even something more?

An unforgettable new adult lesbian romance for fans of Keeping You a Secret by Julie Anne Peters, Her Name in the Sky by Kelly Quindlen, or Nancy Garden’s classic young adult coming-out novel, Annie on My Mind.

New adult novel: recommended for 17+ due to mature themes and sexual content.

Too young for my taste.

The book was okay, I can’t believe I finished it, it was not my thing whatsoever. Big thing is it reads like the author is in high school. Not only is the story about high schoolers it sounds like it’s written by one. The words lulz and jelly as in jealous, and “wheels” are spoken. Very YA. I don’t mind YA, but I suppose I prefer a more mature tone? This book was too sunshine and rainbows. Nothing heavy, no angst, just so very cheesy.

I’m 35 if that helps. :/

Beautiful Love Story

While a bit wordy, this story benefits from the first person narrative of Britton and her finally having good things happen to her. Avery and her parents are almost too good to be true…yet believable in the end.

Really really captivating

I’m usually not a fan of fiction but this story is amazing. I couldn’t put it down- really heartwarming

Absolutely wonderful!

Very well written, storyline was easy enough to follow, great story, especially loved how you could really hear the emotion. Terrific narrator, Absolutely loved the little bit of Boston accent! I really hope you continue with this series or start another, because I would definitely buy it again.

Great storyline, fun characters, Netflix movie!

I enjoyed this story. it was entertaining. i loved the characters and the storyline. this should be a Netflix movie.
