Wow, this is a powerful story, it grabbed my attention immediately and not only captivated my attention the entire book but pulled on my heartstrings too. Siobhan Davis is a gifted author and a master at creating stories that are multi-layered with complex characters and storylines that are realistic. To keep it spoiler free I will not say much about the story other than it was brilliantly plotted, just enough info was held back and revealed at perfect times, making you wonder what exactly happened in Amber Springs. This is a YA/NA reverse harem romance and I adored all four characters, Blaire a new comer to town starting HS at the start of the second term of the year. Good friends Axel, Heath and Skeet took liking to her and they took her under their wing. This did not go over well with the mean girls who then started to stir things up for Blaire. But she stuck with the guys and did not bow down to the bullies. I admired her strength and determination. The friendship with the guys moves to another level and but when the thing she is trying to get away from comes back into her life it all goes down hill for her. I admired the guys for wanting to stick by her side but she she feared her toxicity would ruin them. I loved how this book was broken down into two parts, the before and the after, which is the future and a second chance at life. Siobhan Davis thank you for the emotional rollercoaster ride and the amazing story.
??? And for the wonderful narration, Ms. Davis cast the perfect narrators to bring her characters and their story to life. Sarah Puckett and Paul Stefano did an awesome job portraying the characters, humanizing them, giving each their own distinct voice which made it easy to follow along and tell who was who. Sarah Puckett took Blaire role and made it her own, she sounded just as I pictured her to sound, she was awesome performing the roles of the other characters too. It was same for Paul Stefano, he grasped the persona of each of his characters and played the roles with perfection. You can hear how much heart they put into their work as they capture the characters emotions and project them into their performance. They are entertaining storytellers and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for the fantastic listen?
