About this listen
A promise made:
When Ezra Green sits next to Monroe Friedman in their high school English class, friendship blooms into first love, and even Ezra moving to California won’t keep them apart. Ezra promises Roe that once he finishes college, he’ll come home and the two will be together. In the meantime they’ll write and keep in touch. Nothing has to change.
A promise broken:
After months of unanswered letters, Roe makes one final attempt to contact Ezra with disastrous results. Ezra will never be his and he needs to move on.
Now, more than 20 years later, Ezra has come home. He doesn’t know why Roe stopped writing, but he’s determined to find out. But Roe won’t talk to him and Ezra doesn’t understand why. After all, Roe is the one who cut off contact. Isn’t he?
The promise of what is meant to be:
When Roe’s beloved grandmother suffers a stroke, the past becomes the present, and Ezra comes up with a plan. Pretending to be together to make an old lady happy should be no big deal, but after an unexpected explosive night together, decades-old secrets and lies are exposed, shattering Roe’s control and Ezra’s heart. Is first love only a dream and a promise merely words, or are Ezra and Roe meant to last a lifetime?
This can be listened to as a stand alone but you'll revisit several characters from book one, as well as other series.

Really?
I have read the other reviews for this book and all I can think is “Really”? I pushed through the first book in the series (even though I wanted to quit) to see if the second would be any better but honest to goodness, these characters are emotionally stunted, immature, ridiculously long grudge-holding men (and I use that term loosely). Prime example, Roe in this book and the way he acts towards Ezra upon his return after 23 YEARS!! And really, you hold a 17 year old to “forever promise” standards and then resent it in a 40 year old man? And even go so far as to say you let it drag you down into bitterness for your whole life and prevent you from develop any other meaningful relationships? So puerile and beyond belief…and his internal monologue is so at odds with his juvenile behaviour. I get the author is trying to justify her plot line but the character motivation is really unbelievable. I guess there’s a need to create over the top drama - not even worthy of being called angst. The narrator is his usual amazing self and gives a stellar performance; he really is the best thing about this book and series really- but even he can’t save it! I will persist no longer with this series and maybe even this author - I want my money back. If only I could get my time back!
