Equally hilarious, adventurous, heartfelt, and horrifying

Revisado: 07-28-24

It’s often difficult to follow up the first in a series with a story that’s equally as good but Alice Winters does so. All the elements from the first book can be found here but in a different way. I highly recommend reading/listening to them in order. I’ve listened to these books multiple times mainly due to Joel Leslie’s perfect narration. The way he uses his voice to add just the right amount of sarcasm, emotion, exasperation, or even a touch of whining really brings the characters to life.

Good story, awesome performance

Revisado: 03-03-24

I love the banter between Felix and Lane and Joel Leslie does an amazing job capturing Felix’s cheekiness and Lane’s dry humor. The story is just as action-packed as the previous two. A few things seemed a little less believable but it was still a good story.

Great story

Revisado: 02-17-24

I really enjoyed this second installment of the series, even more than I did the first one. Truman is an adorable, dorky character who is sweetly awkward. Sam is very much an alpha man but is gentle with Truman from the very beginning. I did figure out who was behind the troubles Truman had before the end of the book but it all unfolds nicely. I felt for Sam after the incident with his family.

Michael Dean does a great job narrating Truman. His version of Sam is a little over the top but I did enjoy how he read/performed the book. He adds all the emotions in certain scenes that would make those scenes come across as dull otherwise.

Great story

Revisado: 02-15-24

I’m a sucker for the nerd/jock trope and this story definitely delivers. It’s in turn sweet and spicy. Jeremy is socially awkward and that’s so relatable to me. Max was a sweet, kind guy and not at all the stereotypical jock. His friends kind of were, at least at first. They laugh at Jeremy and make fun of him when Jeremy falls on an icy sidewalk, which is how Max and Jeremy meet. They never apologize for having done so either. Ultimately, the friends seem okay though. The story is good enough for re-reads and the audio is performed well enough for repeated listening.

Beautiful story, wonderful performances

I love this story. The writing is incredibly well-done. I love how Royal and Camden came together slowly, drawn together, complementing each other like a perfect harmony. The narration of this book was also well-done. The narrators became the characters, their voices filled with emotion when warranted. Never flat and never a simple narration of the text. This is define I could listen to more than once.

Excellent. Very emotional.

Revisado: 12-23-23

Just reading the book brought me to tears but HEARING it really made me cry at certain points. The narration was perfect, with all the emotions that the particular subject matter and scenes should have. I can’t recommend this one enough if the subject matter of eating disorders isn’t a trigger.

Sweet story and great narration

Revisado: 11-17-23

There’s a soft spot in my heart for nerd/jock stories and this one delivers in the best of ways. Zach is socially awkward, doesn’t understand people, and wears superhero underwear. He’s also had a crush on his best friend’s brother for a while.

Foster is the captain of the college hockey team and has a bit of a reputation for sleeping around. His brother asks him to look out for Zach since Zach had just started attending Foster’s college. The more time he spends with Zach, the harder it is for him to hold back his attraction to him.

The narrators brought the characters to life well, capturing the personalities perfectly. A few times, the way the dialogue was said didn’t quite match how it was supposed to be but for the most part, they did a great job.

Great Story, Narrated wonderfully

Revisado: 11-16-23

I’d never heard of Judah’s disease before so that, combined with him having had a ballet career, piqued my interest. Judah’s struggles to come to terms with his life as it is rather than what it was, came across as very realistic. Add to that stress the brother tension and it makes you want to just hug the poor guy. Morgan was more than willing to give him all the hugs and love, despite dealing with his own loss. Their witty banter always made me smile, Morgan giving as good as he got.

The narration was masterfully done, proper inflections where they’re supposed to be. He made it sound as if each character was literally sitting with you and telling their parts of the story.

Good story

Revisado: 11-30-17

The story was heartbreaking and the narration was very well done. I teared up at certain times. The only thing I wish was that there was a resolution as far as the girl was concerned. That was left somewhat open ended.
