She chose the wrong ride home
After a concert, Larissa needed a ride. She chose Mike, the friendly one. His quieter friend Chris offered too, and she said no. Six months later, Mike is her boyfriend, Chris is a constant presence in their shared life, and those two words keep looking different every time she replays them.
When Mike cannot take Larissa to her mother's early surgery, he sends Chris instead. They wait together in a hospital corridor for hours, and what they find out about each other in that time does not go away when morning comes. Chris knows how to talk to her. She knows how to make him laugh. The rescue Yorkie they co-parent between the two households already seems to prefer his place.
Chris would not act on any of it. Mike is his closest friend, and loyalty is not a complicated concept for him. But Mike is carrying something he has not told Larissa, and the full picture of their relationship looks different once that detail surfaces. Abby Jimenez runs the novel on a setup that looks simple from the outside: a girl, her boyfriend, his best friend, and one ride home that went the wrong way.
Teresa Palmer and Zachary Webber split the dual narration cleanly between Larissa and Chris. Both perspectives are sympathetic and fully rendered, which makes the central tension harder to sit with than a standard love triangle would. At 9 hours and 52 minutes, the audiobook does not waste time getting there.
Abby Jimenez builds the conflict around a character most romance novels would cast as an obstacle: Mike is not a villain. He is a good person with problems he has not shared with anyone, and that detail shifts the moral weight of everything happening around it. The novel holds the information in reserve long enough to do real work when it finally lands.
The forbidden dynamic between Chris and Larissa is handled with more restraint than the genre usually manages. Neither character makes the easy choice. Chris in particular is written with a specific kind of integrity that most books of this type would undercut in the second act. Webber's narration leans into his reserve without making him cold, which is a harder register to sustain across nearly ten hours than it sounds.
The humor in Jimenez's writing carries through well in audio. The Yorkie scenes land, the banter has timing, and the more serious turns hit harder because the lighter material earns them. Palmer and Webber calibrate the emotional shifts well enough that you do not need to work to track where each character stands at any given moment. A strong listen from start to finish.
