Gaele Hi
AudioBook Review: Overall: 3 Narration 4 Story 2 But the book was uneven: Colin’s issues with his past, and his journey to have better for himself as he works with a therapist and gets support from a brother and his trainer made him the standout in terms of characterization and empathy here. Daniel was drawn less carefully and felt very immature and not like a man of 26, experienced in love or not. Dialogue here tried to dig in and get deep, but the awkwardness of ‘frank discussions’ from characters that were difficult to connect to emotionally, even though their issues were ‘presented’ in full, was problematic. It was not until the last third of the title that any sort of emotional connection between the characters was ‘felt’, and then it was a rush to the conclusion without any more information on next, further or where they were now. Michael Ferraiuolo provides the narration for this story, and he was the highlight of this listen. His voice is smooth and draws you to listen, even as the story itself felt tiring and uninteresting, or more of the same. There was a clear disconnect here between the ‘intention’ and the ‘result’ of the author’s work, and the narration did bridge some, but not all, of that gap. I received an AudioBook copy of the title from Tantor Audio for purpose of honest review. I was not compensated for this review: all conclusions are my own responsibility. Full Review at I am, Indeed
