All the Way Home

De: Nancy Ann Healy

Narrado por: Jill Smith

When two bicycles collide at the end of a driveway in 1993, three lives are changed forever.

Katelyn (Kat) Summers’ family has just moved to Webster, Massachusetts. It’s the day before her 12th birthday, and all Katelyn wants to do is go back home to Pennsylvania. That is until a 10-year-old boy named Neil Masters crashes into her bicycle. When Katelyn looks up from her position on the ground, she finds a hand stretched out to greet her. As she’s pulled to her feet, Katelyn meets with the inquisitive gaze of Sarah Masters. Within minutes, Katelyn will never think of any other place as home again.

Best friends from the moment they meet, Katelyn and Sarah are inseparable. Looking in, they have an idyllic life in a quaint New England community. But, life is not always as simple and charming as it seems. It’s messy. As the pair of friends grow, so do their feelings - Sarah’s for Katelyn, and Katelyn’s for Sarah’s brother, Neil.

Sarah has spent her life loving Kat at a distance. Once her best friend, Kat has now become Sarah’s sister-in-law. While Sarah struggles to let go of Kat, Kat yearns to hold onto Sarah’s presence in her life. Through ups and downs, hopes and dreams, celebrations and disappointments, Katelyn and Sarah struggle to maintain the bond they formed in childhood.

There are lessons in everything; in the paths taken, and the paths left behind. An unexpected fork in Kat’s road will challenge their entire family. Time has a way of revealing the truth. If you are willing to listen, and to speak it, life has a way of leading you All the Way Home.

One of the best lesbian books I’ve read

The book was so well written. Nancy Ann Healy is rapidly becoming one of my favorite authors. It’s believable and heartfelt and you feel the characters pain. I love this book.

This story reminds us,

if you love someone, tell them. Not once, not twice, every day. You’re heart will tell you who to say it to. That one special person, that lives in your heart ♥️
Tell them. Nancy’s characters will show you how in this love story. I love this book, these characters and Jill does a wonderful job bringing all of them to life in her narration!

eh

the story feels like it goes on and on. would've been great to shave a few hours from it. so much heart aches, I get that, and it's needed. but after so much pain the ending feels anti climactic. my first of this author and I'll be exploring more

Its Ok...Narrater is great

This book was ok. Just a little too slow for me. A lot of repeating & a story that's a bit unrealistic in my opinion. Love the narrater & I have listen to some of her other books that I enjoyed also. This book is not bad, it just doesn't top my list.

Decepción

Narrado como si leyera el diario………la historia insípida, la narracion mas aun….. como los comentarios deben ser de al menos 15 palabras voy a tener que rellenar para poder postear .

Can listen/read over and over again

I first read the book when it came out. I couldn’t put it down. Stepping into the lives of Sarah, Cat, and Neal had me laughing, crying, happy, sad, and mad. When I heard it was in Audio, I had to get it. I am happy I did. Jill Smith brings life to these characters, making you feel that you are in the story.
I highly recommend all readers/listeners to get All the Way Home. Just beware that you may lose sleep because you had to read/listen to one more chapter.

Overall, a cute story. Pace needs editing.

The dialogue felt forced at times, as though its not a natural conversion between people. Still, it remained a cute story. The major negative is that the sound editor needed to place longer pauses during the change in the narrative. During one chapter, the story line changed 3 times in under a minute, and I had to re-listen to understand that if I were reading the book, it would have been new paragraphs. The way its strung together is as though the narrator was reading one long, confusing chapter.

Beautiful story

A beautiful love story filled with many ups and downs, and twists, and turns before arriving at a beautiful destination

Loved it!

Loved everything about this! Listen to it. You won’t regret spending the credit! I definitely didn’t!

This was my first..

This was my first LGBTQ+ novel, and I was not disappointed. It was adorable, though the reading threw me off a little at first, and eventually I was into it!
