One of the things I love about listening to Joel Leslie narrate is the way he draws the emotions out and really makes the listener feel invested in what’s happening.
He provides clear and distinguishable character voices, and he performs the text in a way that had me completely sucked into the story and anxious for what happens next, which is a real gift because I’ve already read this book, but Joel made it seem like I was meeting Noah and CJ for the first time and the way he performed this made me fall even more in love with the characters and story.
The narration by Joel Leslie took a story I’d liked and transformed it into one I loved. Such a great job on this performance.
On Davis Row is a quiet, slower paced love story about second chances and finding your strength from within and from the people who support you. Told from both Noah and CJ’s first person points of view there’s a lovely thread of hurt/comfort throughout this story, both because of Noah’s past and CJ’s entire life.
On Davis Row is a quiet romance with medium angst, a bit of a slow burn, an absolutely wonderful happy ending, and great narration.
