🎧 Narration: This book is narrated in single narration with only the mmc POV. Alex Kydd did a great job with the emotional range for the mmc, Luke, in this audio. The way he bled every emotion into his voice during the story felt very raw & kept me wrapped up in the storyline the whole time i was listening. I enjoyed his voice for Holland as well - it wasn’t too high or “fake” girly sounding. I did think it was strange that in the previous book Luke was described as having an accent & in this book it’s mentioned a few times but it wasn’t narrated with the british/south african accent described. I listened on 2.2 & Alex was very easy to understand & it did not interrupt the cadence of his voice. The production was very well done & i didn’t hear any flaws. Overall i felt like the audio enhanced the story.
this book had me a complete chokehold the whole time i listened. i absolutely could not put it down & stayed up until 2am to finish it. i loved luke in night shifts black but the raw version of luke we got from his pov in this story was so. damn. good. this was such a beautiful story of healing from your past, growing as a person & learning to love again even with your broken parts. luke & holland had hot hot hot tension but it was their quiet moments & the way they always kept trying to hold the other up that had me so in love. i felt like the forced proximity of the tour really helped move the storyline along & i loved that we got to see all of luke’s pain & him trying so hard. their love story was perfection. i cannot wait to dive into book three.
