Almost Perfect!

Despite or in spite my title I highly recommend this book. I think the ending was a bit of a stretch. That big scene was too much to believe in a true HEA. However, the book was funny, sexy, and a tear jerker at times. Definitely a good listen to

Opposites Do Attract

Every time I read this story it gets better. There’s part of a poem I think that says if you love something set it free, if it comes back it’s yours. If it doesn’t it never was. Juvenile? Maybe, but fitting in this case. Eli and Gwen were searching and could have ended up settling for lives with partners that would not have been as great as the life they have together, with the love they share. In the end, Eli learns Gwen’s the love of his life. Gwen sets out on a journey that can only lead one place, to Eli. Good read. Worth a sequel!
JJ’s flair for romance is unmatched.

Would you consider the audio edition of That Thing Between Eli and Gwen to be better than the print version?

I love audiobooks can compare it to the printed

What other book might you compare That Thing Between Eli and Gwen to and why?

Sugarbaby Beautiful

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

She came back I didn't like the baby part I didn't like the person that died in the book very sad very moving though show that the doctors can do both so much sorry for the all of his lost very heartbreaking. If there's a two I hope at some kind of twist and changes the baby part.

Great Story

A beautiful love story with well developed characters who have complicated pasts. Modern love story - I didn’t think I would enjoy it but I did very much.

Discovered a new favorite

This is a story based on a theme seen often before. A couple thrown together over a mutual heartache, then the enemies to lovers theme takes over, followed by several hurdles they overcame toward their own ending.

However J. J. McAvoy has a writing style that lifts the story from normal to extraordinary. This is not just a tale, with all of the other Romance / steamy sex themes, but actual thought provoking prose that gives you “ all the feels”.

The narration was excellent which just makes it an even better experience well worth a credit.
