Forget What You Know in Green Shore

Written by Ada Stone

Narrated by Kai Tyler Pelton

James lives a relatively anonymous life and likes it that way. Having been burned in the past, they are wary of creating new connections—and besides, the isolation keeps their focus on their art. So when they find themselves bumping into too many acquaintances for comfort, they hightail it to nearby Green Shore, thinking a few months in a small, quiet town will be just the thing they need to concentrate on painting... until they bump into a stranger that they do want to get to know.

Zo is James's opposite — outgoing, friendly, and living with cousins on the small farm that they've made their life's mission. But Zo has struggles too — namely, their difficulty putting their own needs above the pressures of the farm and the expectations of their conservative family members.

Their attraction to each other is immediate, but their circumstances seem too difficult to overcome. Can they find the will, and a way, to finally make their personal lives as important to them as their careers?

Reviews for Forget What You Know in Green Shore

[Natale Michaud · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Pronouns of They/Them can be so confusing when listening, as one keeps thinking it is talking about more than 1 person instead of someone that is non-binary. I accept all being a CIS lesbian, but still find non-binary They/Them hard to understand and follow.

Zo doesn't identify as male but has male anatomy. James does not identify as female but has female anatomy. So they are in a way having heterosexual sex

Mutual attraction at the spot, a touch of drama ( why people assume you owe them to tell them every bit right away?), and life after that - sweet story and light reading for the evening but didn't engage me much.

[John Johnson · Rating: 1 out of 5 stars]

These ridiculous pronoun and identifying as nonsense make listening and following the story annoying at best. You can identity as anything you want, just keep it to yourself and personal circle.
