About this listen

Two neighbors - strangers - with one thing in common: they share a fence. But is that the only thing they share? Nathan Fraser lives a solitary life, never letting anyone get too close. It's safer that way. Kourtney Whyte hides from the world and behind her work, too afraid to really live her life to the fullest. Rejection is what she knows best. But one night, the sound of her soft voice and the tantalizing aroma of her evening meal prove too enticing for Nathan to ignore. So begins their unconventional relationship - talking, learning, texting, and gradually opening up to one another, all over the fence. That is, until the day Nathan braves the high fence to protect Kourtney from her past, and changes everything forever. Can they move forward together, without the buffer of the fence? Or will their pasts prove to be too much of a barrier? Contains mature themes.

I loved the way the author captured the essence of human connection and the healing power of mutual support

What stood out the most to me in this book was the way the characters overcame their fears by supporting each other.

In a story full of healing, hope, and second chances, Nathan and Kourtney must decide if love is strong enough to break down the walls they've built—or if the fence between them was the only thing truly holding them together.

To be honest, I didn’t expect the emotional depth this book delivered. I went in thinking it would be a light, sweet romance—but what I got was so much more. Nathan and Kourtney are beautifully written, flawed, and deeply human. Their journey pulled me in from the very beginning.

The narrative is rich with past trauma, vulnerability, and the gradual process of healing. Despite their unconventional start—talking through a fence, never seeing each other—their connection felt authentic and unforced. I especially loved how the story never leaned on physical attraction to build intimacy; instead, it focused on emotional depth and genuine communication.

In fact, it reminded me of the Malayalam classic Mathilukal by Vaikom Muhammad Basheer, where the bond between characters grows through voice alone. That subtle parallel really hit home for me.

Now, while I thoroughly enjoyed the story and narration, I did have one minor issue: the second half leaned heavily into the spice. While not overly graphic, the frequency of the steamy scenes felt a bit much for me—especially when the story was already standing strong on its emotional legs. I couldn’t help but feel that the romance would have been just as impactful (if not more) with a bit more restraint.

Overall though, Over the Fence is a charming, emotionally grounded listen. If you love heartfelt romance with a slow build, meaningful character arcs, and a dash of vulnerability—this one's definitely worth a listen.

Not much of a story frankly. There's nothing of substance at all in this rather long book. was tempted to just leave it unfinished but struggled on.

Too long with repetitive conversation
