Key Change by Heidi Hutchinson
4.0
This review is of the audiobook so I will be giving my opinion of the writing, story, characters, and book itself, as well as the audio production and narrators.
Key Change tells the story of Hannah, who is an ex-train-wreck pop star, who leaves the limelight to live a secretive sober life being the guardian to her younger half-sister. All goes awry when Sean, a young busker, recognizes her at a train station. Even more drama ensues, when we meet Sean’s older brother and guardian, Johnny, who knew Hannah from her past life.
If I am not to be honest, this review only needs two words…QUINN SULLIVAN! Yes, Quinn and even Alex Green and Janie from the Knitting in the City series makes an appearance. And they are delightful! In addition to that little surprise, the story is wonderful. I enjoyed that the book alternates between the two main characters, Hannah and Johnny, so we get a glimpse into each of their thoughts on their situation and blossoming relationship.
I also really like the character of Hannah. She is sassy and bitchy and takes no crap from anyone, but at the same time she is responsible and caring and thoughtful. I really wanted her to be happy throughout the book. She made mistakes in her past and was by no means perfect, but she always tried to do good.
As for the book itself, it is well written and well organized. The pacing was good. As I mentioned, I listened to the audiobook version and the two narrators were on point. They did great voices for all the characters and conveyed realistic emotion in their delivery.
Overall, I would highly recommend this book, especially to anyone that is a fan of Penny Reid.
Special thanks to @netgalley and the publisher for advanced copy.
