The Art of Us

Publisher's summary

Eighteen-year-old Charlee Parker met the love of her life in a parking lot-a leggy brunette with a valedictorian medal hanging from her rear-view mirror and an attitude as biting as a Boston winter. Alexandra Woodson was guarded, a 19-year-old orphan set on a bright future in hospitality administration. She never imagined an art student with a penchant for cheesy pick-up lines and stealing parking spaces would crack her rigid exterior and claim her heart.

For four years, theirs was an enviable love - evergreen and growing. Unbreakable... until it broke.

Alex's job now brings her back to Boston, after five years working on the opposite side of the country. When, by chance, they meet again, Charlee and Alex are swept up in a whirlwind of heart-rending history, tossed between past and present, and lovers old and new. Will their lingering connection be enough to convince them that some loves are meant to last? Or should the past remain in the past?

Contains mature themes.

Try it.

A beautiful book from the voice of a narrator I adore. It's a very solid story with a lot of patterns and payoffs that just feel right.

I know 5/5 is a lot, but I'm a sucker for art and patterns and crying occasionally. I knew I would like it 1 chapter in. You can see the scenes so vividly, with your own little tastes to it. I'd definitely recommend it.

No F-in Way!

This book was right in my ball park. It was to the point and stayed there to the end. Really enjoyed it. Off to my next adventure.

Great book

I loved the story, but I had some difficulties with the jumping back and forth with the storyline.
As usual, abby Craden’s narration was wonderful her voice and the range of voices she creates make any story come to life.

Lovely story

A love like this. You be lucky enough to feel it just once in your lifetime.. a love too strong, forever. Oh my heart!!!

Emotional but amazingly told love story

This one definitely tugged at my heart strings and broke the damn in my eyes! I don’t think I had a dry eye the entire time. Tears of heart ache… tears of joy… very well written.

Great book

Such a good love story from beginning to end. Good narration. I really enjoyed this book!

Deserve more stars than there are in the universe

This is not a book it’s a feeling wrapped in a world of just two people. I have never been so moved by a story as much as this. Abby Craden was the best narrator to portray the characters in this book. The characters are brought out in such detail that it is possible to touch them. The humor, the sadness, the love of a couple blended with the love of family. Once torn apart but gradually through the story brought back together again. Made whole from shattered parts.
As you might have guessed I do recommend this book and look forward to reading more from this talented author.
