About this audiobook
“Bravely sheds light on sexual assault and consent. In alternating perspectives friends Tyler and Amber recount an alcohol-fueled night that changed the course of their lives.” –Us Weekly
From master storyteller Amy Hatvany—whose writing has been hailed as “gripping and emotionally honest” (Stephanie Evanovich, New York Times betselling author)— comes a compelling story about friendship and consent, perfect for “fans of Jodi Picoult or Diane Chamberlain” (Library Journal).
I want to rewind the clock, take back the night when the world shattered. I want to erase everything that went wrong.
Amber Bryant and Tyler Hicks have been best friends since they were teenagers—trusting and depending on each other through some of the darkest periods of their young lives. And while Amber has always felt that their relationship is strictly platonic, Tyler has long harbored the secret desire that they might one day become more than friends.
Returning home for the summer after her college graduation, Amber begins spending more time with Tyler than she has in years. Despite the fact that Amber is engaged to her college sweetheart, a flirtation begins to grow between them. One night, fueled by alcohol and concerns about whether she’s getting married too young, Amber kisses Tyler.
What happens next will change them forever.
Told “with nuance and compassion” (Kirkus Reviews) in alternating points of view, It Happens All the Time is “a compulsory read for men and women” (Redbook) that will “consume you, drawing you into the very real plight of the main characters and leaving you hoping for a better future for us all” (Buzzfeed).

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Sweet Jesus what a train wreck of red flags. Unsure what this book was going for but I seriously did not sympathize with the “victim” for one minute. You sympathize with the guy for 98% of this book but it looks like the author really was trying to make it a “women’s empowerment” story. Author seems to be trying to capitalize on the “me too” movement. Annoying.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I really enjoyed her previous book, started this one but Didn’t like the subject and couldn’t keep listening
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5No accountability for her actions yet his actions are punishable. Very one sided. I liked him a lot better than her and it’s a shame his life was destroyed. I guess the author was saying it’s okay to shoot someone if you have a good reason.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I wish she would have more audiobooks since I have AMD I really enjoy listening to this author’s books.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Disturbing - moving- educating- shattering- healing. This book is all of those things, and sadly, painfully “close to home.”
