Publisher's summary

Bad boy football star. Innocent girl next door. Two different worlds. One small town. A million reasons why they should have stayed away from one another.

My name is Adelaide Edington, and my life was mapped out for me before I even entered the world: who I'd date, where I’d attend college, what I'd be when I grew up.

But there comes a time in everyone's life when they face a fork in the road. Should I go left, or should I go right? It didn't matter as long as I didn't remain stagnant any longer.

Jett Stone opened me up to a whole new world, reminding me that it was okay to find my own way. I could have roots in Willow Springs and still spread my wings and fly. What I didn't expect was to fall in love with the broody football player.

The boy I’d known since kindergarten. The boy who I wasn’t supposed to be with—but had somehow become my everything.

This is book one in the Willow Springs series, but it can be listened to as a complete standalone. HEA is guaranteed!

Laura Pavlov can do no wrong!

Normally I do not like high school romance books but this one is different. I actually listened to this series out of order and read this one last. The love story in this one is sweet and wholesome. But you will get angry at some parents in this book. Overall great book!

What a beautiful story!!

I'm a sucker for the under dog. The one that peope judge ,but know nothing about. They are always the sweetest and best people. I loved this story and the revelations for each character. The narrators did a spectacular job bringing the audiobook to life !

Young adult

I was surprised when I started this. It was Laura Pavlov, so I just one clicked and didn’t read the synopsis. I’m not usually into this genre but I was surprised I enjoyed it.

high-school romance you always wanted

beautiful story about making your own decisions as you grow up. ✨️ 💕 I loved it. I identified alot.

Enjoyable YA romance.

Frayed, book one in the Willow Creek series is a YA story with interesting characters trying to figure their way through their high school years. I normally don’t run to stories with younger characters but I love Laura Pavlov and her books, so I dove in. I was definitely not disappointed.
Adelaide and Jett are from completely different backgrounds even though they have grown up in the same small town. They have known each other for years and have always had a special connection, but navigating those younger years always comes with challenges whether it is from other kids or family or simply academic pressures but somehow these two find that it is their friendship that bonds them together as they deal with all that is thrown at them and now it’s their time to take the leap towards their futures together.
I also had the added benefit of listening to this book and the narrators did a wonderful job that definitely added to my enjoyment of this story.

Good Story

Good story of good girl and boy from the wrong side of the tracks...

I enjoyed these characters and their story. The friends to lovers is one of my favorites to read and this is spot on.

The audio is a good one to listen to!

Young Love

Great narration

Hello Laura’s Backlist😍

One thing I love about audiobooks is the fact that they give me the opportunity to dive into an author’s backlist when I may not have the time to eyeball read a story. This one was no different! I would definitely say Frayed is a different vibe than Laura’s most recent works, seeing as these characters are in high school, but I really enjoyed the message it was putting across (no matter how frustrating it was to get to the end result lol!). The narrators did a great job with this one and definitely kept me invested in the story! Can’t wait to read more!

Great book!

The first chapter was difficult to get through and I almost turned it off but so happy I held out and finished. Now I can’t wait to start book 2

Great book

Such a great series I love the author and all her series highly recommend, especially the last two chapters of the final book
