Book description
Simone's cart hits Risda III's market square. Fresh bread. Bad crusts. Perfect hustle.
Ruth-Ann watches. Sees the soggy biscuits. The pancake-flat cookies.
She says it. Daily.
Simone hates her. Know-it-all. Annoying.
Ruth-Ann? Just as annoyed.
Then... silence.
Simone's cart doesn't arrive.
That's when Ruth-Ann realizes: she cares.
More than she should.
This isn't just about baked goods.
It's about the space between words. The pause before an apology. The way resentment turns to something softer.
Ruby Dixon's voice brings it all to life.
You hear the crunch of a bad cookie. The sigh of frustration. The quiet shift when dislike cracks.
The audiobook makes the banter real. Sharp. Funny.
You're right there, in the market square. Feeling the tension.
Simone's confidence. Ruth-Ann's hidden worry.
It's a slow burn. Not loud. Just... real.
The kind of story where you lean in, wanting to hear the next word.
Where the smallest moment-like a missing cart-changes everything.
Dixon writes with warmth. And the audiobook? It's perfect. Clear. Alive.
You don't just read this. You feel it. Taste the bad bread. Feel the sudden quiet when the cart is gone.
It's a small story. But it's packed with heart.
You'll want to hear it again. To catch every nuance.
That's the mark of a good audiobook. When you forget it's a book. When you're just listening.
To two women learning they see the world differently.
And maybe, just maybe, they see each other too.
