“This author is truly a master at creating likeable, three-dimensional characters.” Laurie Reads Romance Some scars go further than skin deep… 1988 doesn’t end well for Jessica Abraham. In just one week she turns thirty, loses her day job, and loses the role of Ophelia to a younger actress. Rallying, she goes after a part at a theater outside of the city, but the director’s plan to hide her beauty behind hair, makeup and wardrobe from Cosmo’s “Don't'' column shakes her confidence to the core. For the first time in her acting career, she won’t be able to rely on her carefully managed physical charms. Only her craft will count. On a snowy night in January of 1989, a woman calls into DJ Callihan Alonso’s alt-rock radio show at the end of her commute. He asks her to call back the next night, and the next, just so he'll know she’s home safe. There's something about her voice that has him wanting more*,* but the longer they talk, the closer she gets. Compromising each and every wall he's built around his heart. If two lonely people fall in love over late-night phone calls, will meeting face-to-face make them, or break them? In this heartfelt, slow-burn retro romcom, it may be the end of a decade, but it’s the beginning of a love story. ?????I'm always happy to read Karen's books that transport me back to the 80s and 90s. I love her snippets of music, TV, current events of that time period sprinkled throughout the book for that hit of nostalgia.” Pixiedustreads ?????“I super, highly, and absolutely love and recommend this series! Readers who love the 80s/90s nostalgic era and maturing "broken" characters will be captivated with the characters, the plot, and the unforgettable era of the 80s/90s - the good, the bad, and even the ugly side of things.” - Currant7recommends ?????“I am loving this series, each book is entertaining and contains plenty of laugh out loud moments and heartfelt ones. ” Bette, Bookbub ?????“Karen Grey has a lovely, deft touch with her characters, the plot, and with the world she's created.” Jen, Bookbub ????? “This author is truly a master at creating likeable, three-dimensional characters.” Laurie Reads Romance ????? “Add this to your must read list.” ymcqueeney, Bookbub ????? “I just sat and felt this one long after I finished. Not many books move me that way.” Kerri, Goodreads ????? “Jess and Cal's story is an indelible ink that seeped into my subconsciousness. I felt every cheer in their triumphs and shed every tear in their disappointments.” Currant 7 Recommends ????? “No one has to be perfect. Being enough for each other comes pretty close, though.” Emily, Goodreads ????? “I was hooked from page one.” Jodi, Goodreads ????? “Like the first two books in the Boston Classics series, this book takes you on a journey. There’s great music (that I’m now listening to), a host of interesting characters, a world that some of us lived in and storytelling that is absolutely wonderful.” Anna Reads Here ?????“A well-crafted story, a story full of heart and soul as two people show themselves to be perfectly imperfect.” Words of Wisdom from the Scarf Princess ????? “Fresh, bright, original, laugh-out-loud funny yet serious and thought-provoking.” Sally, Goodreads ????? “This book doesn’t gloss over difficult subjects, but there’s also a lot of humor, and the love story itself is great. It’s a slow burn, sure, but there’s a real and deep connection between Jess and Cal right at the beginning. Absolutely beautiful.” Claire, Goodreads ????? “I love when a story takes me by surprise, and this one definitely did—relatable characters with real issues. Their imperfections and ability to see one another's true hearts was beautiful to watch unfold- overall feel-good.” Vida Loca, Bookbub ????? “Grey's characters, Jess and Cal, enamored themselves to me and made this one of my favorite books this year.” Once Upon a Page ????? “I'm always happy to read
