I love Caleb and Adam even more now!

Revisado: 09-30-19

Ever since I first started listening to The Bright Sessions podcast, I have felt moved by the characters of Caleb and Adam, being a member of the LGBT community myself. Lauren Shippen just has a writing style by which she can masterfully articulate the complexity of thoughts and feelings in a way that makes them easier to understand. Also, James Fouhey and Briggon Snow added to the unforgettable experience of listening to this audiobook with their brilliant narration.

I never realized how much I relate to Adam until listening to this audiobook because his character and background wasn't able to be explained in detail throughout the podcast. Hearing his thoughts and emotions described, including his struggle with depression, made me feel validated and seen for the first time, which is such a beautiful feeling.

I have waited for this book ever since Lauren announced that there would be a book series based on the podcast. From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank her, Briggon, James, and all the other people responsible for bringing this novel to life. I love these boys, and this is another story that I will carry in my heart always.

An unforgettable sequel!

Revisado: 06-26-17

This story is about love and the determination to fight for those who are most vulnerable. It is so well crafted that I teared up several times from the beautiful words. I loved this book just as much as Carry the Ocean. Thank you Heidi Cullinan and Iggy Toma for bringing this continuation of Emmet and Jeremey's story to life. As I stated in my review of Carry the Ocean, this series and its characters will always hold a special place in my heart. I highly recommend it!

Such a heart-warming, beautifully written story

Revisado: 06-15-17

Thank you so much to Heidi Cullinan for writing this book and Iggy Toma for the narration that brought these characters to life! I knew from the minute I started listening to the first chapter that I was going to love this series so much.

It's close to my heart because I also live with a permanent disability, cerebral palsy, which I have to learn to manage and adapt to my surroundings every day. Even though Emmet has autism and Jeremey struugles with severe depression, I relate to the types of daily challenges they face. I also have a strong desire to be as independent as possible and one day be in a romantic relationship.

I appreciate that Heidi writes so kindly and thoughtfully about Emmet and Jeremey. She makes a point of saying that they're normal but differently-abled people. I also love how descriptive she is about their inner thoughts so I can understand a bit more about these mental disorders, even though they are different for each person. I especially enjoy the logical way Emmet mind works and that he finds no problem with speaking so matter-of-factly to everyone. It's very funny sometimes while still being a great learning experience; this serves to bring levity into a story about such a serious and important topic.

The Roosevelt series will always be dear to me and forever one of my favorites. Thank you Audible for introducing me to this book! I can't wait to listen to the sequel!

Good story with bad narration

Revisado: 06-24-16

This interesting story was messed up by the cadence of the narrator's voice. Although the moments of dialogue were okay, everything else about the narration could have been improved. If there's a sequel to this story, please choose a different narrator.

Perfect Sequel!

Revisado: 06-23-16

I really enjoyed this new journey that Jojo Motes took me on with the characters of Me Before You. Thank you for introducing Lilly as a piece of Will Traynor because he was a great character. Also, I appreciated the character Sam and the choice of Anna Acton as the narrator of this novel. Her voice is just as I imagined Louisa's would be.

Wonderful story!

Revisado: 05-30-16

Charlotte Brontë's novel was well written in poetic prose. The excellent narration by Thandie Newton added another layer of depth to the story that made it so much better! Overall, it was very enjoyable to listen to and well worth the credit I used to purchase it.

Nicholas Sparks does it again!

I loved every moment of this novel. It was both funny and heartwarming. Holter Graham's narration kept me engaged the entire time.
