Story
Who says you can’t go home again? Philadelphia real estate broker Devyn Winters is at the peak of her career, closing multi-million dollar deals and relishing it. She’s pretty much blocked out her formative years in Dreamer’s Bay, where the most exciting thing to happen was the twice a year bake sale. Unfortunately, a distress call hauls her back home and away from the life she’s constructed. Now the question is just how long until she can leave again? And when did boring Elizabeth Draper get so beautiful?

Story
Her new job as an on-air reporter in sunny San Diego is a big break for Skyler Ruiz. No more covering small-town softball games or vegetable growing competitions. She’ll be working at the same station as her TV mega-crush and longtime idol, anchorwoman Carolyn McNamara, and that doesn’t hurt either. Unfortunately, people don’t always live up to expectations. Skyler’s hopes of impressing Carolyn are dashed when she discovers Carolyn has little time for newbie reporters and is downright unwelcoming.

He has staunch principles, strict routines, and a short fuse. People call him “the bitter neighbor from hell”. But must Ove be bitter just because he doesn’t walk around with a smile plastered to his face all the time? Fredrik Backman’s novel about the angry old man next door is a thoughtful exploration of the profound impact one life has on countless others.

By Far the Best Narrator of a Book I've Had
- By WanderLaw on 04-05-20
By: Fredrik Backman
Publisher's Summary
Sometimes the most imperfect match is the most perfect surprise.
Hadley Cooper believes in happily-ever-afters with her whole heart. Described by her friends as a wide-eyed, eternal optimist, she looks for the bright side in most any situation. However, when her job as the assistant manager of Silhouette, a posh boutique on Rodeo Drive, is on the line, she realizes it's time to pull her head out of the clouds and find a way to turn business around, and that just might mean partnering with the most stubborn up-and-coming fashion designer she's ever encountered.
Spencer Adair has a passion for fashion but hates the fact that it rhymes. She's serious about her designs, fiercely protective of her work, and is waiting patiently for her big break. What she didn't plan on, however, was the unsolicited opinions of that overly-friendly blond boutique manager. Or the way her heart beats faster every time she's around.

Seven Shores wraps up Beautifully.
First off, fist-bumps of praise to the audio performer, who gave each character such a definitive voice throughout the book series that a scene with zero dialog tags where each of the four main characters speak a quick line in turn was absolutely, 100% clear as to who was speaking. So much voice talent in the characters. So very much.
I've been waiting on Hadley's book since my first Seven Shores listen precisely because she's the sort of character I adore to read: she's happy, centred, optimistic, and kind. So often in queer romance we drown in angsty characters, and while Brayden does give every one of her lovers some stumbling blocks, and sometimes those stumbling blocks involve scars from hard-won battles, she also has a way with balancing her friend groups that feels just so perfectly in synch with my own experiences of queerness. We don't all drown in angst and pain—we often buoy each other up. No, not perfectly (and there's actually a great example of that within Love Like This where Hadley, who is the go-to caregiver of the four women, asks for help and none of her friends rise to the occasion), and certainly not equally, but a character like Hadley feels all the more refreshing because she's so rarely the character we get to read.
To be clear, I freaking adore Hadley, so I had high expectations of who she'd be partnered with, and—of course Brayden had my back—Spencer was a terrific match. Or mismatch, given how they had enough in common (especially an appreciation for fashion) and yet how different they were. Spencer guards her heart, doesn't believe in "the one," and is driven and confident. Hadley is a cinnamon roll. But together, the sparks flew (and toes wiggled) and more importantly, I bought the bumps on the road to their happiness.
And the scene in Newark had me growling in frustration, which certainly amused the other people on the bus, to whom I quickly explained I was listening to an audiobook. I'm not sure they believed me.
More, as the wrap-up to the quartet of books, Love Like This also delivered way, way more than I was expecting re: the other three pairs from earlier books, without taking much of the spotlight away from Hadley and Spencer. The Isabel scenes had me grinning, the new rankings for Gia and Elle were such a lovely little nod to how far they've gotten, and the twins (and Kate and Autumn) featured just enough to cement the deep friendship the four (now eight) women shared.
And the wee preçis at the end with glimpses of their futures? I was grinning as I walked from the bus stop. I loved these women, and while I'm sad to see them go, it was another perfect bundle from Brayden that reminded me, once again, how good we are when we come together in friendship.

a great ending to a great series
Melissa Brayden has a gift. she has a way of making you laugh, turning you on, and making you cry, all in a matter of minutes. and she does it very seamlessly.
Hadley was the linchpin throughout the entire series and finally her time in the spotlight when Spencer came around. you'll enjoy the book and the series

Great ending to series
I have loved this entire series. I'm glad to see all the updates during the epilogue as well. I couldn't wait to see how Hadley's story would play out, but have to say, its probably my least favorite. I cant put my finger on the issue, but this book seemed almost unMelissa Braydenish. It seemed different than her other books. Dont get me wrong, I enjoyed it, but it seems different. Like I said, its well worth the read, and I loved the tied up lose ends with everyone.

Couldn't connect with the story.
l've listened to all Melissa's novels and maybe that's a problem. I couldn't find anything new here and the dynamics and dramas didn't peak enough to keep my interest. The bubblie Hadley for me was rather predictable -- cute and querky didn't add a dimension to the narrative that made it stand out. The Spencer character was hard to distinguish from many of the other characters, I didn't feel enough work was done to bring out her ethic background. The story was like a Disney tale but without any of the dangerous moments. The narration is well done from an acting point of view, but I found Hadley's high pitch voice rather irksome. Sorry. But there are many high reviews, so ignore mine, unless like me you want more tragic characters who have a lot to lose or gain and somehow find salvation in each other. This is not that kinda of tale.

Great way to end this series
I waited for this book and finished it in one day. It’s a fantastic ending to a series! Melissa writes in such an amazing style it’s something that gets you sucked in within the first chapter!
This was a beautiful ending to this series which I wish would be made into a tv show!
Melissa sternenberg performance was fantastic!
