    About this audiobook

    I am that gash in her soul.

    Once I loved her, really loved her. And she loved me, and it was so fucking beautiful.

    Once. That pendulum swings to and fro. We're here, and then we're-

    No.

    How can that rare beauty be rendered irrelevant, intangible when I still feel so damn much?

    Does all that energy, that glory, that significance simply dissolve? Turn to smoke? To nothing?

    It can't. It just can't.

    Are the moments that shape us absolutely random? Is time not fluid?

    I made promises to them, to her. Especially to her. Promises I still burn to keep.

    Cat Porter

    CAT PORTER was born and raised in New York City, but also spent a few years in Europe, Texas and the suburbs along the way. As an introverted, only child, she had very big, but very secret dreams for herself. She graduated from Vassar College, was a struggling actress, a SoHo art gallery girl, special events planner, freelance writer, and had all sorts of other crazy jobs all hours of the day and night to help make those dreams come true. She has two children's books traditionally published under her maiden name. She now lives on a beach in Greece with her husband, three children, and huge Cane Corso, and freaks out regularly and still daydreams way too much and now doesn't give AF. She is addicted to old movies, the History Channel, her iPad, her husband's homemade red wine, really dark chocolate, and her Nespresso coffee machine. Writing keeps her somewhat sane, extremely happy, and a productive member of society. If you enjoy emotional, character driven epic tales, her books are for you.

      I have no words. This story was amazing my heart broke for Dig.
    • 4/5
      4.5 stars

      This is a truly beautiful tale of pain, sacrifice and everlasting love. Hearing from Dig while knowing his fate is so moving. The epilogue is pure poetry. Although Grace has endured tragic lows, she is beyond blessed for having two epic loves in one lifetime. Random & Rare is definitely an emotional win for me as a reader.
    • 4/5
      This story went to a place that we wouldn't expect it to go... It took us back. Back to Dig's story. Usually with these kinds of series, we go from living character to living character. In this book we meet Dig, Grace's first husband. But he isn't her husband just yet. We get a better understanding of not just Grace, but the whole dynamic of the club.

      Then we switch back to the future/present... Grace and Miller. After seeing everything that happened with Dig, we are more appreciative of his love for Grace and now Miller's love for her.

      There is always two sides to a story. Both sides in this story will rip you apart from the inside-out! This book is the missing link in Grace's story we didn't realize existed. Now that the chain is complete, we can site back and wonder what more is to come of this club.
