    About this audiobook

    ★★★★★ "Oh my stars, I loved this novella! This book has a late 80s/early 90s movie feel a la St. Elmo's Fire mixed with a dash of Mystic Pizza." - Laurie Anne, Goodreads 

    Can five friends grow up without growing apart?

    Summer, 1991: Working at a beachfront hotel in their sleepy southern coastal town gives life-long friends Violet, Danielle, Whitney, Ford and Sully the chance to spend as much time as possible together after college graduation—and before real life begins.

    One exceptionally busy night, each of them wrestles with potentially life-changing choices, all while serving guests at a wedding, searching for a lost dog, protecting hatching sea turtles, and managing a love triangle.

    Don't miss this combo sequel to Grey's Boston Classics series and prequel to her new Carolina Classics series. It'll take you from the neon, big-haired 1980's into the boho, laidback 1990's.

      Sooooooo, IYKYK, obviously I went back to the beginning with the Boston Classics series as soon as the ALC for this title was announced! WHY AM I LIKE THIS? No, seriously, why? *shakes head* LOL I had to stop and listen to Stand by You before I finished all 40ish hours of Boston Classic goodness, but I’ll be returning ASAP! Thanks to Everand, not only was this series possible but I will also be able to jump straight into the Carolina Classics series!! #winning ??

      I’ll Stand by You was a fun party in my ears! It is exactly what it says it is, a bridge between the two series, Boston Classics and Carolina Classics. I’m glad that I got thru most of the stories in the Boston series before I had to stop and listen to this ”extended epilogue” because it made the story that much more endearing to me. I teared up a few times and laughed a few but mostly I just had a huge smile on my face!

      Obviously, the performance by Maxine Mitchell, JF Harding, Amy McFadden, Ryan Lee Dunlap & Amanda Stribling was great or I wouldn’t have enjoyed this quickie as much as I did! *huge smile* Thank you Home Cooked Books for providing me with this ALC and intro to what is a great author and some narrators I hadn’t heard in a while! #winning
