About this listen

Alice is in love with her best friend. Now all she needs to do is tell him.

Best buds Milo Manganiello and Alice Hooper have been the one constant in each other's lives for over 15 years. The charismatic and compassionate physics professor was there when Alice got married, and he was there 10 years later when she got divorced. Likewise, the candid and kind computer science professor has always been there for Milo. She babysits his apartment and plethora of houseplants when he's traveling, and they share breakfast together every day he's in town. Alice wasn't always in love with Milo, but the feeling has grown, and when Milo returns from his latest globe-trotting adventure, Alice decides it's time to spill the seeds.

Does Alice have the grit to confess? And will feelings take root? Or is hers a love destined never to bloom?

Live and Let Grow is a 14k-word (short) contemporary romance of long-suffering unrequited love and can be enjoyed as a stand-alone.

Short, sweet, nothing special

This is the miscommunication trope to the nth degree, and also “how could they be so smart and so dumb at the same time”. Story was so-so.

Falls well short of expectations.

This novella just did not work for me.

How can two grown adults whose close friendship has lasted 15 odd years really know each other so little?

I listened to the audio version that clocks in at just over 90 minutes. It's taken me nearly a week to finish it because it failed to hold my interest.
