Stephanie Sullivan: Review - How to Walk Away

February 09, 2024

TITLE: How to Walk Away (audiobook)

RATING: ★★★★★

Summary (from Goodreads): Margaret Jacobsen has a bright future ahead of her: a fiancé she adores, her dream job, and the promise of a picture-perfect life just around the corner. Then, suddenly, on what should have been one of the happiest days of her life, everything she worked for is taken away in one tumultuous moment.

In the hospital and forced to face the possibility that nothing will ever be the same again, Margaret must figure out how to move forward on her own terms while facing long-held family secrets, devastating heartbreak, and the idea that love might find her in the last place she would ever expect.

REVIEW: I absolutely love Katherine Center’s work, and How to Walk Away jumped right into the #2 spot on my list of favorites (right under What You Wish For). This is such an amazing story, and I’m SO glad I chose to listen to the audiobook version because Therese Plummer is an incredible narrator. This was my first time listening to her, and she truly made the story come to life. Between Katherine’s writing and Therese’s narrating, I was totally immersed in this story from beginning to end. I laughed out loud more times than I can count. I gasped. I cried. I was heartbroken when it ended. I loved every character. (Okay, maybe not Chip. He was a douchebag). Margaret is such a strong and admirable heroine, Kit is the sister I wanted but never had, and Ian’s tough and tender sides just melted my heart. I would highly recommend this book to everyone.
