amazing

Revisado: 06-13-24

this was a phenomenal read. i let it slip by twice on Libby and finally made myself get into it, and I'm glad I did. this story was a beautiful love note to sadness and joy. the writing is so good and so is the narration.

Great listen but...

Revisado: 06-28-22

The character and setting details in these stories are repetitive. I could understand if these were standalone but since they're in a series, by book 2, you already know so much about people. That being said, each storyline is really good! These are definitely books you listen to while doing something else, that way you can tune in to the juicy/funny/gaspy bits and tune out of the rewritten descriptions. Johanna Parker is a gem though. Phenomenal narrator!

so cute!

Revisado: 09-15-21

this was absolutely the cutest love story I've listened to in a while! there was no smut (which is unusual for me) but I forget how much I love a good meet-cute/getting-to-know-you story. read it. it was a palate cleanser for me but one that was extremely enjoyable! 5 stars all around.

Story was amazing Chris' voice not so much.

Revisado: 09-09-21

Read this one. Don't listen. I like this narrator but she made Chris' voice the same as it was when he was 17 in the first book and that was weird for me. Even his little brother Josh's voice had matured in this book, but not his and I'm not sure why. The story itself was really good but that's no surprise because R.L. is amazing. but like I said, read it, don't listen.

all good except...

Revisado: 09-06-21

everything was excellent and on par with these stories, but the ending was extremely abrupt. I did not like that.

Great concept, great story

Revisado: 06-18-21

Loved the concept of the game SLAY. I wish it was real. Definitely a YA read but a good one! There's a few pieces of character's stories that I had questions about in the end but overall I'm glad I listened to it.

so good!

Revisado: 06-10-21

if you've read children of blood and bone, and you were hooked - read this. we get more character development, an array of new and great side characters, and of course a chance to have your emotions running the gamut. i sighed, gasped, yelled, laughed, cried and everything in between. tomi did it again. the narrator was amazing as always (seriously how does she even?) and i finished this listen in two work shifts.

Amazing Stories!

Revisado: 11-11-20

I really liked this book. Levar Burton reads one of the stories in his current season and it made me come check it out. The narrator isn't at good as Levar (which wasn't necessarily my expectation) but she did a great job of telling each of the tales. Honestly, the stories are so well written that it'd be hard to mess up! Get into this book and enjoy the historical, fantastical and futuristic stories of these Black, Indigenous and Afro-Latin characters!

Excellent listen

Revisado: 10-21-20

This book was a thorough investigation into human social behavior all within the context of the arrest and death of Sandra Bland. The way all of these other stories are woven together give you the most context and explanation of all sides through the lens of our natural inclinations before circling back to Sandra Bland is a master's course in oral history.

The best ending for an amazing series..

Revisado: 10-14-20

Read about the Winstons. You'll love them all and you'll cry or tear up when it's over. Penny Reid did an amazing with them and their stories.
