Publisher's summary

Unreliable, irresponsible, unpredictable, unaccountable—Yaz knows how her family views her.

She was never like them, though. Never academic enough, never serious enough, never really good enough.

He was different. Heath was the one who stuck up for Yaz when she was a child. As her brother's best friend and ten years older, he had been her hero—always defending her to her family, always seeing the best in her—he made her feel worthy of approval.

As her childhood adoration morphed into full-blown teenage love for her idol, and Heath grew from the good-looking boy she knew to the devastatingly handsome emergency department doctor he is today, his attitude seemed to change. For some reason, her quirks went from charming to annoying—her alternative worldview from refreshing to ridiculous. In fact, there are a lot of things about her that Heath seems to now find ridiculous:

"You look ridiculous, Midge."

"All this alternative therapy crap is a ridiculous waste of time."

"Your obsession with windsurfing is getting ridiculous."

"That ridiculous bike of yours is a bloody health hazard. When are you going to grow up and get a car?"

Having gone from worthy to unworthy in Heath's eyes, Yaz convinces herself that his cruelty has killed her childhood crush. After one humiliation too many, she finally cuts ties altogether. By the time Heath starts to see all that he could lose, it might be too late. Maybe it's not Yaz who's the unworthy one after all?

Unworthy is a full-length brother's best friend, secret crush, unrequited love, enemies-to-lovers contemporary romance.

Amazing story & performance

I’ve absolutely fell in love with this series! Shane East is definitely one of my favorite narrators!!!

Yaz and Heath!

Love Susie Tate’s books! Been waiting months for this one to come out. So worth it. The narrators bring it to life.

emotional and beautiful

This series is fantastic. Deeply emotional stories. Beautiful character development. Excellent narration. Can't wait to listen to book 3.

This one might be my favorite in the series

Yaz and Heath story is beautiful which we knew was coming from book 1. I was so proud of Yaz standing up for herself especially to her family, how she didn't do it before is beyond me. I am so proud of her not just giving in and forgiving Heath right away. I understood why Heath was the way he was, but it was still no excuse to treating Yaz the way he did. I cried more in this story understanding how Yaz emotions and being torn down. It was also great to understand how much healing Heath needed. Amazing writing, Amazing Narration. 👏🏾

Great premise but irritating FMC

I so wanted to love this book. The MMC was perfection but I wish he had just thrown in the towel and found someone else. The FMC was one of the most annoyingly stubborn characters I have EVER read. Immature, selfish, and a huge whiner.

Touching, Well written

I really loved Yaz. She is a great character in this book and the one before. I wasn't sure about the hero, but Tate keeps him from being a total tosser as secrets come out.

Irritating FMC

This is solely my personal opinion: I strongly dislike the FMC due to her overbearing insecurities. I understand creating a dynamic character and how her insecurities contribute to the storyline, but I was getting so aggravated by her lack of communication with literally everyone. I also think many parts of the story were unnecessarily rushed and or felt unfinished. I think there was a lack of depth to the storyline that created so many questions and contributed to my irritation with the FMC. The scenes regarding her family felt so unrealistic and it made me want to scream at her to speak the F**k up! She gave “poor me” I want a pity party vibes. Then when the MMC finally shows genuine interest, it feels forced because he was quite literally berating her shortly before. It felt like she was being lightly bullied by the entire set of characters and she was wallowing and pouting. I also hated the constant back and forth between the two when she was “injured”. It wasn’t like a sexy and exciting back and forth, it was a redundant kind of back and forth and it occurs multiple times throughout the story. The story is underdeveloped. It needs more story building and character building. I still have a tiny bit of the book left to read, but i honestly don’t feel I can finish it because I just get so frustrated. I think my cup of tea includes a more interesting and stronger female main character. I also hated the fact that she is supposedly ms. Independent with some success, yet no one has noticed literally at all??? It’s so unrealistic and this story is not a fantasy story. I also hate that her character behaves like an immature child regarding her emotions when she’s supposedly this “strong, independent, and successful” woman, but on the other hand she’s being taken advantage of by some 2nd class surfer boy??? No one builds a successful business and gains all these certifications only for that person to suddenly forget how the business side of things work and becomes an easy target to take advantage of by someone who she works so closely with. Ugh, there are just so many unrealistic issues with this story. I’m annoyed just writing this review.
