I have a couple but as of yet, haven’t listened to them. This is the first Jessica Hawkins book I’ve read/ listened to. I can't wait to listen to the rest of the books when they're available! Please keep in mind that this is book 1 in the Something in the Way series. The audiobook really took this story to the next level.


Every emotion, touch, and feeling is amplified and electric. Even if you've read the book, I HIGHLY recommend listening to the audio. Honestly, all the characters were so genuinely imperfect that you couldn't help but relate to them and root for them to overcome the odds. Manning was brooding and dark, but behind the walls and hurt was a man trying to rise above the circumstances of his life.

Lake was such an intelligent and mature heroine, but at the same time she was vulnerable and girlish, teetering on the cusp of adulthood. Arndt narrates the majority of the book phenomenally, but Webber's heart wrenching performance really stole the show for me. They are my favorite narrating duo and their voices complement each other so well. Andi Arndt and Zachary Webber couldn't have been more perfect to narrate Lake and Manning. This slow burn, coming of age story will captivate you right from the start. Jessica Hawkins captured the excitement, anxiety, confusion, and butterflies of falling in love so perfectly. My older sister saw him next.īook one in the completed Something in the Way series, a USA Today best-selling love saga. Because even though I saw Manning first, that didn't matter. But I'd learn that no matter what you achieve in life, it means nothing if you suffer the heartbreak that comes with falling for someone you can never have. Through all the carefully-chosen words hiding what we knew to be true, his struggle to keep me innocent, and infinitely starry nights - I would wait. I loved Manning before I knew the meaning of the word. Yet, we saw something in each other that would link us in ways that couldn't be broken.no matter how hard we tried. I wore a smiley-face t-shirt and had never even been kissed. Under the sweat and dirt, Manning Sutter was as handsome as the sun was bright. It was a hot summer day when I met him on the construction site next to my parents' house. "Jessica Hawkins weaves a tale of forbidden love in epic proportion." (Corinne Michaels, New York Times best-selling author)
