My Thoughts:
Audio:
I liked her quite a bit. Her voice was easy to listen to in my opinion.
I think the only reason I gave it the rating I did because I listened to it online and it would "jump" (don't know how else to describe it) and sometimes I couldn't understand a word or two. I don't think it's the fault of the audio book..maybe just a 'glitch' when it was uploaded online.
Book:
The book itself wasn't perfect by any means, but I gave it a solid, 3/5. I liked the characters. I especially liked Dad. It's a fun book to listen to. It had it's rough moments with the two main characters talked about some of the things they went through but the book wasn't completely engulfed in their "issues", it was about their relationship with each other, their friends and families.
I love the fact that they talked about movies, some I have seen, many, I have not. It has me wanting to go through them and watch some of them when I am in the mood. This book is perfect timing because I said would spend this year getting back into movies. Watching ones I have missed in the last 18-20 years. Some classics. Some of my well loved movies from the past (from my childhood , teens & 20's) and within the last 20 or so years. So, again, Perfect Timing! You know what, for that matter, I will take it up to a 4 stars, just because of the timing & the ideas! So, I guess that's a 3/5 for the book itself & an extra star for the perfect timing!
I love Porter's & Bailey's relationship. It started off rough, but I just thought they were funny most of the time. They pushed each other to come out of their shells. Very much a coming of age story. Bailey's relationship with her father was a strong bond that I loved but even with her relationship with her mom, was semi-understandable but as a mom, I don't think I could do (or not do) some of the things she did (or didn't do). Porter's family bond I loved too. How protective of each other they are. You mess with one, you get them all! lol...
I'm going to hush now because I feel like I am already giving away too much of the story.
This is not the best cover but I guess it could be worse. I've seen a few other covers for it online, to me, this one is the best though. I guess my feelings about it are mixed. I don't love it, but I definitely don't hate it either.
