Captivating and Emotional

Fans of complex characters will find an auditory treat in this beautiful story! Adam and Jolene’s contrasting situations and compelling feelings are artfully described in alternating chapters. The drama and emotions depicted are real, not the typical frustrating teenage manufactured spats. Each character is expressively deep and you will be unable to put this one down (or push pause).

Really Enjoyable

Reminded me of a John Green book in a good way. I really like Jolene as a character, she felt more realistic compared to other written “manic pixie dream girls”.

Listened to the entire book and glad I did.

Bittersweet story with great narration. The story kept me listening and I could easily imagine the scenes and imagine the development of the relationship between characters. Enjoyed the time spent listening to this audio book.

Heartfelt

I enjoyed this story, it pulled on my heartstrings. It really spoke to the boy in me who sought escape from his home life through intimate friendships.

Surprising!

This is the first time I’ve left a review on Audible, but I have to! I originally added it randomly since it was included in my membership and I didn’t read the description, so I went into it blind. I’m so glad I did. This has got to be one of the most wholesome stories I’ve ever come across. I’m only 24, but Adam’s and Jo’s crushes and their feelings really brought me back to when I was 15/16. They were so sweet in everything they thought about each other. It was so heartwarming to see their story play out. I loved how each of their voices shone through in their respective sections. Jo being a film director and seeing the world in so much color yet being so cynical in contrast to Adam’s rather mundane (I’m not sure if that’s the right word I’m looking for) outlook on life but being so tender. It was amazing to see them grow together and they both got what they needed and deserved. I won’t speak on a certain part in the book too much, but I’m glad it was made a point to be addressed in a relatively short time. Ahh, this book was just so cute! And so emotional. It’s been a long while since a book made me cry, but this one did and it was mostly happy tears. I didn’t give the performance a 5 stars bc I felt for a majority of the book I preferred Taylor’s voice to Kirby’s, but he did eventually grow on me and when we were getting to the climax of the book I did get choked up on his scenes. All in all, I adored this book. I really can’t wait to see what else this author has to offer! And I will be listening to whatever else the voice actors are in!

So much here

Listen. It’s good. There’s a lot going on in this story… the bottom line for me is that you don’t see or know anyone completely unless they want you too. Keeping that in mind will make us - and the world ~ better.
