An ambitious podcaster and her reclusive interviewee embark on a life-altering journey to uncover long-lost truths in this immersive story about love, travel, and family secrets.

Forty years ago, aspiring writer Ann Fawkes left the United States for a Mediterranean adventure that opened her heart to travel and love. After a chance encounter propelled her into the publishing world, she released her first novel, an instant bestseller—and the last book she ever wrote.

Now, Ann lives a reclusive life in the San Juan Islands, hiding from the public and its probing questions. But when podcaster Maggie Whitaker convinces Ann to sit for an interview, Ann agrees on one condition: Maggie must keep her story off the record.

Determined to change Ann’s mind before she loses her job, Maggie agrees. But as she learns about Ann’s life—particularly the love affair that inspired her novel and the decisions she made in its wake—Maggie realizes Ann’s story intersects with her own in shocking, life-changing ways.

A sweeping, heart-wrenching novel that spans decades and continents, Halfway to You explores the distances we create between ourselves and the ones we love most and what it takes to finally bridge them.

In the beginning, I didn’t know where it was going. The voices were interchanging seemingly without order at first. But I let it continue to play in the background and began to understand what was actually going on. Once I was in the “same page” with the story telling, I couldn’t get enough of it.

I enjoyed this story; it kept my interest, and I would recommend anyone who wants to relax, and listen to enjoy a story of a woman who had issues and had a lot of questions but eventually the questions were answered. This doesn’t always happen in life but when it happens, gratefulness should be one of a key emotion.

Great concept for retelling an epic love story. Filled with friendship, fun, disappointment, betrayal and tragedy. Character development was so well done. Scenes were incredibly descriptive for the travel. Heart wrenching at times with a wonderful ending.

Narration was excellent!!
