In Score we meet Bee Mitchell a physical sports therapist and Callum Samskevitch a football player. Both characters broke the stereotypical mold of the insensitive jock and the wild sorority girl. Bee is focused on her academics while Cal is focused on his football scholarship.
Cal is the popular guy who every sorority girl wants to hook up with. Bee is the underdog who doesn’t draw attention to herself like typical sorority girls.
There were bits of pieces of a good story, but the constant harrumphing about Bee’s appearance annoyed me. Cal’s character wasn’t any better with the constant comments about his sexy good looks and popularity.
In the beginning, I liked Bee’s character she started off strong and fierce until she met Cal. Cal had her questioning herself causing doubt and insecurity. I lost interest in her character after that.
I felt the story was a bit cliche with the popular guy dating the underdog and the underdog getting backlash from everyone. There were too many themes being tackled at once. This story continued to spiral downhill with unnecessary obstacles. I didn’t like the direction this story went.
Sarah Puckett narrates both main characters. After listening to a few of her audiobooks I notice the same tone in all her narrations. Not much variety in acting out the characters voices. The words are read robotically. I’m looking for a narrator who brings these characters to life with animation to their voice and she doesn’t do that.
