Publisher Description
★★★★★ "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, looking for a lost dog, watching sea turtles hatch, and dealing with 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.
★★★★★ "I'll Stand By You introduces us to a new group of friends in the Carolina Classics series while wrapping up the stories for the gang from the Boston Classics series. I was so glad to get a final glimpse of the Boston Classics gang and to see what happens at Henry and Bella's wedding. This short novella seamlessly transitions between the two groups of friends and I was instantly hooked." - Amy, Goodreads
★★★★★ "Karen Grey has written a fun and emotional novella that serves as a "bonus epilogue" for her Boston Classics series as well as a prequel launching her new Carolina Classics series." - Rellim Reads
★★★★★ "This novella is a farewell of sorts to the Boston Classics family and ushers in the Carolina Classic crew. This was a bittersweet read for me. Saying goodbye to Will, Cal, Jess, Bella, Ben, Lucy, Lilah and Ribsy tugs on the heartstrings. The Carolina Classics crew is wonderfully dynamic, genuine, and intriguing. I can't wait to read their stories. Karen intertwined the groups beautifully and gave each character a special moment to shine. I'll Stand By You is witty, fun, and so sweet." - Elizabeth, Goodreads
★★★★★ "Karen does a brilliant job of weaving so many character storylines together, and my favourite part of this one was having the previous series brought in and their storyline closed out, while the new crew was brought in and introduced, with so many plot points for each character given a sneak-peak and just a taste for their upcoming books." - Anni, Goodreads
Customer Reviews
Fun quick novella
Ryan Lee Dunlap, JF Harding, Amy McFadden, Maxine Mitchell, and Amanda Stribling deliver an amazing performance. They gave the characters perfect voice, personality and emotion. I enjoy audiobooks because the narrators bring the authors words to life and give readers/listeners a whole new experience. I loved the ocean/dog barking between chapters. I’ll Stand By You is a quick, fun and heartwarming story about friends who are spending their last summer working together before heading off to new adventures. What started out as a chaotic evening turned into an unexpected and entertaining adventure that the crew will never forget. I enjoyed how Karen had each character take on a chapter to tell the story from their point of view. This was a great wrap up to her characters from other books and a great introduction to the characters in the new series. These characters are going to take us on a wild ride!
