À propos de cet audio

In this sparkling romance, two professors with a complicated past get a second chance to prove history won't repeat itself.

Assistant professor Clara Fernsby is nothing if not driven. She’s wanted to teach history since she was fourteen, and she hasn’t let anything stand in her way―not even the love of her life. And it all paid off in the end, because she landed a well-paid position at a private liberal arts college fresh out of grad school, and this year, she’s finally up for tenure.

When Theodore Harrison is brought on for the fall semester as a visiting scholar, it’s an unexpected blast from Clara’s past. She hasn’t spoken to Teddy since rejecting him over a phone call ten years ago. Now that he’s here, she’s reminded of their time together at every turn: autumns spent at a sleepaway camp in the Blue Ridge Mountains, trading battered history books and burned CDs with the quiet, dark-haired boy she once fell in love with.

That boy might’ve been her best friend, but the man teaching HIST-322 is a total stranger―or so she thinks. As they spend evenings working on a shared project and brainstorming over drinks at a college bar, Clara realizes she’s at risk of falling all over again. Given their history, she knows there’s every chance he’s not interested. But history’s all down to interpretation, and this time around, she’s got no intentions of repeating it.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Second chance romance... at its most heartwarming." -- Trish Doller, bestselling author of Float Plan

"A masterclass in nostalgia and second chances." -- Emily Wibberley and Austin Siegmund-Broka, authors of The Roughest Draft

“This book was designed in a lab for me - or, more accurately, a musty History department in an ivy-covered building: competent grown-up protagonists, second-chance-friends-to-lovers story, tweed and elbow patches atmosphere. Miller has created a world I’ve never read before populated with fully-realized, completely original characters to root for. A beyond satisfying read. My heart is happy. A+. With honors. Summa cum Laude.” -- Julia Whelan, internationally bestselling author of My Oxford Year and Thank You for Listening

liked this one!

I really liked Given Our History. It was a right person, wrong time type of second chance romance with a dual timeline. It gave academia in the fall vibes that I was living for (even though I am very much a summer girlie).

It was single POV, and while I typically prefer dual POV, I find in dual timeline it is easier to keep track of what's going on and when if its from only one POV. So, single POV worked well for me here.

I loved getting to see the relationship develop over the years from friends to lovers to it just not working out. There was no major blow out that caused them to hate each other. However, there were some hurt feelings because of the love they had and the timing being wrong in the past.

I adored the shared interests and the way they kept in touch with one another while they were apart in their youth.

I adored Teddy, but I felt like I would have loved him even more if we could have got to know him better. (I suppose that comes from not getting his POV.) I also would have liked a little more showing rather than telling, buy giving us more communication between Clara and Teddy - particularly, more dialogue in the present tense.

Clara was relatable in some senses, however I did find her chronic need to be the martyr grating at times.
