About this audiobook
When Adam proposes to Sarah, the last thing he expects is to be single and heartbroken less than forty-eight hours later. But Sarah has a secret, and she's willing to sacrifice everything to keep it.
Going through a break-up is hard enough but having to live together afterwards is even worse, especially when it's a break-up neither person wants. For Adam, only ways to deal with it are drinking and partying. For Sarah, it’s keeping her distance and her secrets.
Against a backdrop of lies, betrayals and passion, the delicate threads holding Sarah's secret begin to unravel when her past and present collide.
Romantic, intense and heartbreaking, Together Apart explores what it really means to love and be loved.
Revised edition: This edition of Together Apart includes editorial revisions.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Loved the idea and style of writing but the 2 main characters drove me mad - Sarah was so irritating and Adam needs a backbone.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Natalie K. Martin, delivers her debut, TOGETHER APART, a contemporary chick-lit love story-- when the past collides with the present, for a heart-breaking story of modern relationships, miscommunication, and secrets. Adam and Sarah are living together, and in love. Except Sarah has a dark past and she is not sharing it with Adam. All is well until Adam, the young real estate professional proposes. Sarah turns down the proposal. She keeps those close to her at arm’s length. She is not ready to share her past and abruptly breaks off their relationship without an explanation. Adam attempts to move on with other women; however, cannot get past the non-reasons for the breakup. What is Sarah hiding or afraid of? As the book slowly moves on, we learn about Sarah’s life through diary entries, after Adam finds, in order to learn more about Sarah, since she is not very forthcoming. Prior to breaking up, they were in a lease of a flat, and financially the could not afford to break it. So they resume living together—filled with stress and tension.A rather slow-paced novel,I found myself fast forwarding through the audiobook, narrated by Justine Eyre, leading up to the secret reveal. I chose not to read an advanced reading copy, as after reading the summary and with a full editorial calendar, knew I could listen to the audiobook later, while in the car and running errands.Not particularly any likable characters; could have used more humor. Even though there were some good parts; overall, it was not for me. I am sure there is an audience for this type of drama with a character carrying past feelings into a modern day relationships with fallout. The other reviews seem to be at the extremes of low and high—keeping it in the middle of the road. Nice cover, though!
