It’s a cute story, that touches upon some difficult topics without being too much or too light - just balanced. The narrator definitely won me over with this listen. I’m not sure if I had been reading an actual book that I would have that rhythm and read the punctuations with the right effects. The narrator brought just as much depth and feeing into the story as the story itself.

And to have a supporting character that was a child and key element but not being annoying - wow. Yes, obviously there were some predictable moments but the way they developed - I couldn’t help but smile here and there. To take these things and write them so well, to give depth to the characters and have a plot that has its ups and downs without being overdone is refreshing. There’s something to be said about a book that takes the mundane, the overdone cliches, the things I’m not really interested it (like the holidays, kids, and etc.), and pleasantly surprises me. But boredom hit and I decided to try giving it a listen. I hadn’t read anything previously from the author and was honestly on the fence about the narrator after two other titles. Looking at the cover art and reading over the description, I didn’t think I would have chosen this title. I didn’t remember preordering it, and was confused when I got the notification on my phone that my preorder was ready. I think I preordered this audible half asleep after a long time of aimlessly scrolling for books to discover. The extraordinary author, Haley Cass, wrote the page-turner “Those Who Wait”, a romance novel published in 2020.A fitting title for my thoughts on the book I think I will need a few days to process this book. With almost 630 pages or 21 hours of listening, the author draws you into the world of 2 extraordinary characters. It was a rollercoaster ride to the end, and I had to shed a tear or two – no, to be honest, I was even a bit devastated because it gave me so many feelings.īut first things first. The focus is on 25-year-old Sutton Spencer, a literature student at NYU, and 28-year-old Charlotte Thompson, deputy mayor of New York, running for the House of Representatives.

Sutton is naïve, sometimes awkward and shy, but incredibly likeable. I didn’t like her that much at first, but eventually, I fell in love with her. Her character develops the most throughout the story. Charlotte is in the middle of her life and knows exactly what she wants. Still, when Sutton enters her life, she questions her ideas about the future. I just loved the two of them in combination. I think they fit so well together precisely because of their differences – they complement each other.
