I loved L.J Evans first book in “My Life as an Album” series, her “my life as a country album” book, it is such a beautiful and moving story and I was so glad to hear she was releasing an audio for this one. Sure I was a bit worried she would not be able to keep the momentum up, maintain the same level of greatness she achieved in the first book, Jake and Cam’s story. Heck, it is hard story to follow-up on, yea it was that good. Well, consider me wowed, L.J Evans did it, she penned another beautiful and amazing story. It moves you like no other, it if filled with love, friendships, laughs, drama, finding oneself and most of all self forgiveness. This is Mia and Derek’s story, Mia is Jake’s younger sister, she carries the weight of the world on her, blames herself for kidney not saving his life. Derek, an up and coming musician, he and is band just signed signed to a record label and is touring the country. It is Jake’s Camaro that first brings them together and Derek sees something in her, something he wants more of. He wants her to come on tour with him for 3 weeks, help drive his car to California. Her parents convince her to go and it turns in to an adventure and the start to a great relationship. I thought his bandmates were so cool and accepting of her. I loved the camaraderie between them and how they all enjoyed the cave explorations. Most of all I love the chemistry between Mia and Derek, how easy they were with each other, how will they were to share their demons and be supportive to one another. L.J. Evans did it again, she sends you on an emotional rollercoaster ride, allows you to feel the pain her characters are going through, feel their emotions. Also, it was great to get a look in to Cam’s life and see she is doing well. L.J. Evans thanks for another great, heartfelt story.
I listened to the Audible edition, Sarah Puckett is a fantastic narrator and voice performer. She brings the characters to life, gives each their own distinct voice and personality. You can hear how much heart she puts into this, the projection of emotion in her performance is amazing, she makes it her own and makes you feel what the characters are feeling. Thank you for another great listen?
