Story
Nora Levine has everything she dreams of: a leading role on a successful tv show and a quiet life with her best friends, away from the spotlight. When the new production company CEO takes an unusually hands-on approach to her job, Nora’s hackles go all the way up. Mimi St James just wants the best for everyone: her large family, her colleagues, and employees; even the aloof star of her company’s hit show. And she’ll go the extra mile to make all of them happy. Nora can’t help but warm to Mimi’s kind nature—and what she first saw as meddling.

Devon Douglas can’t believe it when she comes face-to-face with Sadie again. They were inseparable in high school until Devon did something she ruined their friendship on a lovestruck whim. Sadie is as dazzling as Devon remembers—and she can still hold her own surfing the wild waves of Clearwater Bay. Devon’s first priority is her five-year-old son, but getting to know Sadie all over again is taking up more and more of her headspace. Sadie is inexplicably drawn to Devon. It could be nostalgia. Or remnants of their old friendship flaring. But what if it’s more than that?

Intense & Real & Beautiful
As an adult child of an alcoholic father, this beautiful and haunting story hit home - at times being so real I needed to take long breaks and revisit after. A triumph of the human spirit w the support of loved ones is always a compelling story. It’s a fabulous prequel of sorts to the series. Looking forward to the rest 🫶

Well written. Substance abuse flash backs
Enjoyed the story. Spoiler****It brought up old memories of my wife struggling with alcoholism ( she has been sober now and we are expecting!). It was nice to see how her partner choose the relationship when faced with an ultimatum and showed her support in the end. A lot of self discovery on both main characters and felt the realism in the characters development.

If You Come from an Alcoholic Family...
This book might be tough if you come from an alcoholic family. I wanted to shut it off numerous times but didn't, and I wondered if, by making myself listen to this, it was freeing me somehow. Anyway, I made it to the end and I'm glad I did. I know this is a book, but I'm pulling for Cheryl to make it. (Sorry, spoiler alert!)
I understand that the book is also a testament to what true love can do and how deep a person will go to help the one they love. I started to give the book more stars but just couldn't. I'm sorry, Harper.
