If you want to be swept off your feet and be submerged in a swoony romance, this is the book for you.

Top notch romance, top notch narration

SWOON

Revisado: 05-28-23

For some reason, maybe my mood, i had a hard time getting into this book, but then, BAM, I was hooked. The characters, the romance, the world, the mystery - so good. Plus the cover is gorgeous.

You must read this!

Revisado: 05-30-22

Fundamental text about AIDS, government failure and indifference, and the people who car. Highly recommend.

Audio narrator does a wonderful job. Very listenable.

Fabulous

Revisado: 05-20-21

Rosaline is such an understandable character. The “bad” guy is insidiously creepy. The “good” guy is sweetly amazing. And the important information about life and bisexuality, sex and negotiation is integrated beautifully into the sex.

Alexis is an amazing author. You can’t go wrong with him. You should totally listen if you are into beautiful romances with baking.

And in addition to a marvelous story, the narrator and her narration, brings the story to life.

I loved it...

...and it made me sympathy-cry.

A lovely story with good messages about a sweet boy told in the best possible way.

(Not saccharin or condescending)

I wish i was part of Darius’s family.

And the narration was great.

Wonderful

Revisado: 07-11-20

Alexis Hall is a wonderful writer whose characters are full of life and joy. You can feel the fun he has playing with language and the thoughtfulness put into it.

Joe Jameson did a fabulous performance. He was a full cast of characters himself. I particularly liked his upper class nitwit performance.

I highly recommend this book.

All the heart eyes emojis.

Fascinating and horrifying

Revisado: 06-17-20

This is a book of stories that pull you in. About baboons, about the author, about the Masai, about how difficult life can be in Africa. Wonderful and horrifying. Love and corruption.

The narration was fine but his voice comes off as slightly, how to describe it, flat and slightly yelly-y. Distant, maybe. Like a person recounting a story from long ago so the emotions are slightly worn away. Maybe that is appropriate. It fits the narrative.

2nd time’s a charm

Revisado: 03-08-20

I just finished my second listen of this book. The first time was several years back so I only vaguely remembered a few plot points. The first time through I remember being vaguely disappointed, like the books’s high notes were flat. (Maybe in combination with the second book which I haven’t relistened to yet and don’t remember off hand.) Anyway, the first time I was all about the romance which this book has but it isn’t about. This time I was able to appreciate the morals of the story - be yourself, the world isn’t judging you quite as much as you think, listen to the people around you.

I did appreciate that in the very last sentences (no spoilers) that he did mention it was ok to be still and not take part in the dancing and whirling that others may do.

(I still cringe about how loud and in your face Rafe’s parents are in public.)

Dull

Revisado: 03-05-20

First, Joel does a fabulous narration as always.

The story and characters have massive potential but the conflict was just the MCs being oblivious which works sometimes but not here. I also never got a handle on who Ivo was. Like he read one way but then acted in ways that seemed out of the character established for him. Even hair color. I was surprised every time his blondness was mentioned.

I ended up skipping the last hour or so except the final 10 minutes.

I much preferred the second book (which still has an oblivious MC as the conflict). The first book - I don’t appreciate employer-employee “snarky” and oblivious romances.

Fantastic

Revisado: 02-25-20

This book, the words and narration, is fantastic. It is romantic and sigh-worthy, horrible and tear making. I love it.
