Thank you to NetGalley and Hachette Audio UK for providing me with an advance reader copy of the Dear Emmie Blue audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

Dear Emmie Blue is such a sweet tale of growth, self-discovery, love and friendship. This book was unlike any other romance I've read before - the unique story of two long distance best friends finding one another when they were needed the most. This book contains a sort of 'love triangle' which I don't usually enjoy in books, but this one worked so well, and I felt like I was rooting for Emmie the whole way through the book and just wanted her to end up with someone that made her happy.

This book also touches on grief, abuse, the loss of a close friend and terminal illness which was a really interesting addition to a love story. Whilst listening to the audiobook I felt so many emotions, I was happy, I was hurt, it was so bittersweet to read.

I felt like the narrator for the audiobook really suited the tone of this book, and I could feel as though the narrator could actually have been the main character, Emmie. Although, with most audiobooks I did feel as though the speech was a little slow, and so listened to this audiobook on 2x speed.
