So much love for this book!

Revisado: 05-05-21

I loved this one - the two main characters were so unique and endearing. The storyline was super unique, too, both bittersweet and humorous, and still so believable!

The performances were spot on, too, especially Lidia’s portrayal of the male characters in JD’s family. Lots of delicious, delightful romantic tension without the use of sex scenes - just brilliant!

I’m off to find more Cara Bastone audiobooks now!

A wonderful start to a great YA adventure!

Revisado: 11-29-15

If you liked Hunger Games, this book will also win your heart. Loved watching these characters begin the journey toward discovering their true selves, their true worth in their own eyes and in the eyes of those around them. Considerably clean, so I'm thrilled to be able to highly recommend this to readers of Young adult fiction. Can't wait to dig into Book 2.

Narration was great - only added to the experience in a positive way.

Beautiful Blue.

Revisado: 09-17-15

Amy Harmon is a master at telling stories of people rising up out of hopelessness and finding courage to face the world around them. A beautiful story of identity and self worth, of the real kind of love and what happens when we open our hearts to grace.

Wonderful story, but...

Revisado: 09-14-15

A brilliant novel that requires a whole lot of tissue. I'm giving this 5 stars because I loved it. But I have such a hard time with the language - the f-bomb is not in everyone's every day vocabulary in real life and although I'm not against it being used here or there as needed, the frequency in this novel was a real negative for me. It seemed to replace the word "very" or "really" way too often. Just my opinion - please don't judge me for saying so. Clearly by my rating, I did not judge the book/author for it. This is just a heads up for others who might feel the same about that word.

Narration was wonderful!

Delightful!

Revisado: 09-09-15

This is my first book by this author, though I have several of hers in my TBR pile. I really enjoyed the story, the blending of family love and pain, the "breaking free" process Rose went through. The narrator did a great job of capturing the characters' voices and keeping everyone separate for the listener. Will definitely be reading/listening to more in this series!

Wonderful story, wonderful narrator.

Revisado: 07-13-15

Ms. Whelan narrates another winner. Love her expression and style and she can make any book come to life. However, when a story is already excellent, it's a win-win-win for author, narrator, and listener! Worth every minute!

A great story!

Revisado: 07-06-15

Great book - Ficklin knows her audience well. Enjoyed the narrator's performance, but lots of mouth noise and/or background pops and clicks in some places that were a bit distracting at times.

All in all, a wonderful weekend listen!

Beautiful story of redemption.

Revisado: 07-01-15

This is my first book by this author and I think she's wonderful. A story of redemption and truth and hope. I have mixed feelings about multiple narrators - so often I find books where one is wonderful and the other is meh - but in this case, both narrators were a real pleasure to listen to.

Honor and Angst

Revisado: 06-12-15

Loved these two characters who discover love like they've never understood it before. Great performance by narrators - could listen to both of them without reservation.

Loved it!

Revisado: 06-08-15

Great story about a girl who discovers that what she's hiding from the world, what she's most ashamed of, is in fact, the very thing that makes her special and important and unique.

I thought Ms. Eyre did a fantastic job at narrating this story, except that the quavery voice she used for the main character (I didn't hear it in other voices so I'm assuming the tremble was an intentional nuance - if not, forgive me) made the character sound old and frail, and took me a while to get used to. But once I did, I thoroughly enjoyed it! Her rhythm and timing and expression was wonderful, otherwise.

Thank you for a great audiobook experience!
