too much

I really enjoyed her silent waters book... once I got over the stupidity of her dramatically not talking ever. Unfortunately this book is not even on the same playing field as the other one. The story line itself isn't terrible but the language is abnoxuous... they swear constantly. And they are just kids but the sex is so descriptive. Its just bad news. If you're like me and that sort of stuff ruins a story don't bother with this one.

FEMALE NARRATION RUINED THIS ONE FOR ME

I had high expectations but was sadly disappointed. I got as far as Shay Chapter 7. The female narration is not good or maybe it’s really just YA because she sounds and reads like a child and I can go no further. I truly believe If someone else had been reading this I would have strongly enjoyed it. Ava Erickson would have been a good fit. Teddy Hamilton is awesome as usual so maybe I will try to just listen to his chapters. 👎👎👎👎👎

A Story That Hirs You Hard in the Heart!

This story deals with drug addiction, mental illness, bullying, and depression. It’s a love story between two enemies who make a bet that one of them will fall in love with the other. Of course, like any love story you know it’s going to happen. They are going to fall in love, and live happily ever after, right? Nope! Because in this story, there are complications. There are self doubts, suicidal thoughts, worthlessness. How does one deal with someone in a relationship like that? It takes unconditional love and forgiveness, But sometimes that is enough. There has to be professional help.

This is that story. Unconditional love from friends and family. They are the ones who help us get through our lowest moments. I loved this story of these two high school kids just trying to make it through life.

“It started with a bet but ended in truths…”

This must be the best duet in the series… it touched on some heavy heavy real life situation…(I wish they were in college though, high school seemed just way too young.) The heavy matter in this book were handled with respect and one still got to go through it with the characters. You have no choice but to love these two characters.

I personally don’t care for too much angst and enemies-to-lovers isn’t even my fifth choice but this, this was done beautifully that enemies to lovers wasn’t the first thing… the story pulled you in… the female protagonist didn’t look for stupid stuff to fight over… it felt like taking a peek in someone’s story, living it with them.

Narration: I mean, it’s Teddy Hamilton, what could go wrong? Miranda Jay was perfect as Shay… the only thing that would have made it better is if they did a duet
narration… chef’s kiss…

Worth a credit? That’s a resounding YES! Heading to read book 2 then buy the physical copies…

Needs Better Female Narrator and storyline

The female narrator needs more work before performing audiobooks; sounded like she was reading rather than acting out the part and repeating sentences. Teddy was 5 stars as usual. Some of the profanity was unnecessary. Storyline was pretty far fetched too; wrecked because of subpar narration by Miranda and immature storyline. Not one of Brittany’s books I’ve loved in the past.

Another Amazing Listen!

It's been a while since I listened to a book by Brittainy. So glad this was the book I chose. Loved Landon & Shay & their story. Great enemies to Lovers story! Excellent narration by Teddy Hamilton & Miranda Jay (new to me narrator).

Amazing story but has some narration issues

Story:
I loved this book so much! It doesn’t quite top Eleanor & Grey which was the book that introduced me to Brittainy C. Cherry and to these characters, but it’s a close thing.

I always love a good enemies to lovers story and the bet was a cute way to move along the story. I loved how the characters began to open up and how it the book didn’t shy away from heavy, emotional topics and depicting people with mental illness.

I cried multiple times while reading this book and that’s always a huge win for me with books. I love books that make me feel something.

The ending left me dying for more so I’m so glad part two is already out. I’m starting it now!


Narration:
I listened to this book on Audible and unfortunately that was the worst part of the experience. If I could rate the narration separately it would probably by a 3.5. There were multiple issues with the narration. It wasn’t the voice actors voices, but rather actual errors. At one point the narration refers to Landon’s uncle as Dan rather than Lance. There’s also a part where the female voice actor mispronounced a word and they re-recorded the line with the pronunciation corrected but it played after the un-corrected version of the line so there was just this one part twice. I was listening while driving and stuff so I couldn’t check every since issue against the ebook but I did check the Dan thing when I could and the ebook version I checked did not say Dan, it said Lance. Overall the voice actors voices were very enjoyable to read I just wish there wasn’t the quality issues.

A great story, don't miss it.

Emotional, wonderfully complicated relationships. A drive down the angst of young love, but very real depression topics.

You would think this was a depressing book; but honestly it gave me a bit of a healing feeling.

Do yourself a favor, and try this book. A great story.
