    About this audiobook

    A sweet story of second chances and renewed hope, Holly Glass’s On the Way Home is a wry and tender look at the good things we sometimes leave behind us as we blindly chase our dreams.

    When Reese Harding turned eighteen, she left small-town Waning Ridge and her high school sweetheart Lucy to chase her dream of acting in LA. She was determined not to repeat her mom’s mistakes and wind up stuck in her dull hometown raising a family.

    But now, more than a decade later, Reese is paying the bills with cheesy insurance commercials and has mostly given up on love, too. When Reese’s little sister gets engaged, however, Reese is forced to spend a week back home with all the things she’d rather not think about: her mom’s unrealized dreams, the girls who tormented her in high school, and the woman whose heart she broke in her quest for freedom.

    Lucy’s successful cinematography career makes Reese burn with envy, but her charm and kindness still make Reese burn with passion. To earn Lucy’s forgiveness and a second chance, Reese will have to face everything she’s been avoiding and come to terms with her mom’s past choices... and her own.

      I really enjoyed the narrator. A nice short story for a car trip.
    • 1/5
      One of the most boring books ever read. Makes zero sense, has no point to it.

      As much as I wanted to like this, given that some parts are quite interesting, by the end of the book, I just can’t.
      I get the skepticism in marriage and love. I get wanting to leave a place to go for your dreams. I get being unforgiving to those who’ve wronged you in the past. I get being hateful for failing…
      What I don’t get is, the unwarranted resentment of the MC to her mother, whom technically didn’t do anything wrong to their family. It was a whim. A blipped. A drunk confession of lost dreams! One whom had chosen to return and work it out. The dad knows! And yet the MC was painting it as if it’s an absolutely deep betrayal, and use it as an excuse to shun her entire family.

      Honestly, having critical thinking and an iota of care to your parents no matter how much you’ve been angry at them, will make you think that her mother returning means that what happened was totally unintended and can be resolved.

      Really enjoyable story about family love and romantic love. Beautifully narrated and not too short. Good character development.

      Cute! I very much enjoyed listening to this short book!
    • 5/5
      A good story and a great narrator. Returning to the snobby girls from high school aftr a decade was interesting and quite funny.
