If for Any Reason

By: Courtney Walsh

Narrated by: Hannah Cabell

Emily Ackerman has traveled the world, her constant compass and companion a book of letters her mother left for her when she died. With no father in the picture, her mom's advice has been her only true north. But when professional failure leads Emily back to Nantucket to renovate and sell the family cottage she inherited, she wonders if her mom left advice to cover this . . . especially when her grandmother arrives to "supervise." And especially when her heart becomes entangled with Hollis McGuire, the boy next door-turned-baseball star who's back on the island after a career-ending injury.

As sparks fly between her and Hollis, Emily is drawn to island life, even as she uncovers shocking secrets about the tragic accident that led to her mother's death. With her world turned upside-down, Emily must choose between allowing the voices from her past to guide her future or forging her own path forward.

Wonderful love story

I absolutely loved this book . It was well written and I loved Emily and her whole story. It’s an easy listen and full of how Jesus is alway there for us. Courtney is my new favorite author and I love her style and how she goes back and forth from Isabel to Emily without being confused. Her characters are good people and full of love and compassion.

A fun and enjoyable listen…

A fun way to get through packing to move. A good story and a great narrator.

Fun predictable cliche

The story was fun. The story was predictable. And most importantly, the story hit all the cliches.

Hooked from the start!

I didn’t know if I’d be into a Nantucket-type story. I kind of expected prissy characters that would make me hate them….BUT. I was hooked from the start. The characters are relatable, and the story flowed perfectly. I can’t wait to read more!

Slow moving.

Good narrator. Story was very slow paced. Clean, religious references. Good character development and plot.
