Audio: 5 STARS!
Story: 4 STARS!
So, Ben and Lizzie . . . the first 50% was a firm 5-star for me. KS's signature humor was in full effect and the build-up was believable and heartwarming.
The second half, however, shows why this installment is not as well-loved as others in the series.
And, imo, when characters - in this case the heroine - have no reaction to events, neither does the reader, which results in a bit of a lackluster experience.
Overall, though, it was still a decent read. And really, who can resist glances of Mal and Jimmy? :D
Story: 4 STARS!
"I don't want to be places you're not."I loved being back with the band!! And narrator Andi Arndt has become a favorite of mine. I'm going to listen to more of Kylie Scott's books just to hear Ms. Arndt's voice.

This guy and me, we were doomed from the start.I thought KS dodged too many tough conversations. Ben would say fairly terrible things and Lizzie would let them go ==> over and over again.

I didn't love the second book as much as everyone else, but I still mean to keep reading the series. Nice review, Melanie.

Nice review, Melanie."I can see how Mal and his quirks wouldn't appeal to everyone, lol. I think book 3 is the best written of the bunch. I hope you enjoy it more when you get around to it. <3

Ooh! Good to know. I think they're all kinds of crazy, but that was the appeal in the first one. Lol.
I’m glad to know that the audio was that good! And yeah it’s annoying when heroines let things go without having a decent reaction! So I can see you point! Lovely review tho, Melanie! xx

I agree. This was my least favourite. I love, love, love Mal though!
