Second Chance x 2

This is a double second chance and a tragic heartbreak combined into one. I was impressed with the author's ability to weave these two stories of love together. I thought the characters were well written and relatable. There was an element of insta-love but it fades and we are able to see the character's love and devotion to each other. I love that the author gave Charlotte another chance at happiness. While there were times that I did feel like our character's actions weren't really making a whole lot of sense in a couple places, the ending left me feeling satisfied with the story in its entirety and it tied everything together nicely.

The narrator does a spectacular job in this performance. She is able to perfectly capture all of the degrees of emotion that this story exhibits throughout the ups and downs.

Wonderful listen

I knew going in, that Renee Carlino would gut me. And oh boy. I was wrong. She turned me inside out and back again. This story is a wonderful story with unforgettable characters, and beautiful narration. Ava Lucas!!! Wow. What a phenomenal job she did bringing these characters to life!!! Between the story and the narration, this was an excellent experience that I will not soon forget.

Wish There Was More

It took me awhile to get into this one... the early chapters didn’t grab me. But, as Charlotte’s journey unfolded it was hard not to be pulled in. I wish there had been more of Adam early on to establish how he’d changed over time. And, though I know it’s fiction, I wish some of the scenarios had been more believable. This one will definitely elicit all sorts of emotions, though.
Ava Lucas’s narration was stellar. Her inflections and pitch made it easy to distinguish between characters and she does a great male voice. She really brought the story to life.

Emotional!

I don't want to give anything away in this review but I can say that I listen to a lot of books and most of them are forgettable in no time because, while I might have really liked them, they tend to all be the same. This one, though, is one I won't soon forget because it's not like all the rest. I had to stop listening with one and a half hours left because I was so afraid of how it would end. I even listened to a couple of other books before going back to it and finishing the story. I very highly recommend this book. Ava Lucas really brought this story to life. She put so much emotion into the characters that it was definitely more of a performance than just a narration. I really love her male voice too!

Happy moments, sad moments, funny moments...

I would have liked to rate both the story and the performance with 4.5 stars. I listened to the Audible version. The narration was great, though sometimes it was tough to tell characters apart only by voice. I liked the characters in the story and appreciated the family teasing that was based out of love (not mean spirited). I also liked seeing the growth of charlotte as a person over the course of the story, though the ending seemed a little (or maybe a lot) easier than I would have expected. There are happy moments, sad moments, funny moments and unbelievable moments, but it is done in such a way that I enjoyed the story.

This story will steal your heart

What a beautiful story that Renee wrote and Ava did it justice . First I heard from Renee . Once you start on the story you will wish it went on and on. Ava performance was spot on .
Heroine is Charlotte. Hero is Adam and Seth .

Charlotte Is lost till she hooks up with Adam . They both are perfect for each other . But something happens and both Adam and Charlotte go their separate ways. Even when Charlotte tries to go on with her life she can’t forget Adam . Even after she thinks she has moved on with Seth , Adam is still haunting her mind . Charlotte and Adam were beautifully together. Grab it and see if they find their way back to each other

Ava performance was spot on . Strong , smooth and $exy. Her voice and tone for each character was great .
This is my opinion and my review is part of Audiobook obessestion

You have to listen to this, just listen to it.

I didn't expect this book, this story, these feelings. I didn't expect it to change the way I'm thinking, or considering, or how I'm looking at things. It touched me in so many ways I cannot tell you. And yes it made me cry, but it also made me laugh. I love these characters. This story will stay with me forever. It's gotten under my skin and I'm not sure I'll ever get it out. Thank you.

I don't think this story would have had as much of an effect on me if it weren't for the beautiful way Ava Lucas brought it to life. I was there living it with them, sucked in so completely that I was a little bereft when it ended.

THIS BOOK DESTROYED ME!!!!!

Omg, I’ve not cried this much about a book in a hell of a long time. It destroyed me. The emotion is amazing, Renée has captured it so very well. Fantastic characters. Ava really does give these characters personalities. Absolutely fantastic.
