Audre & Bash Are Just Friends

De: Tia Williams

Narrado por: Jordan Cobb, Torian Brackett

Scorching-hot summer. Scorching-hot chemistry. Two teens can’t forget they’re just friends in this sweet, funny, electrifying romance from New York Times bestselling author Tia Williams. Perfect for fans of Jenny Han and Nicola Yoon.

MEET AUDRE. Junior class president. Debate team captain. Unofficial student therapist. Desperately in need of a good time.

MEET BASH. Mysterious new senior. Everybody’s crush. Tall, floppy, great taste in jewelry. King of having a good time.

It’s the last day of school at Cheshire Prep, Brooklyn’s elite academy—and Audre Mercy-Moore’s life is a mess. Her dad cancelled her annual summer visit to his Malibu beach house. Now? She’s stuck in a claustrophobic apartment with her mom, stepdad, and one-year-old sister (aka the Goblin Baby).

Under these conditions, she’ll never finish writing her self-help book—ie, the key to winning over Stanford’s admissions board.

Cut to Bash Henry! Audre hires him to be her “fun consultant.” His job? To help her complete the Experience Challenge—her list of five wild dares designed to give her juicy book material. She’ll get inspo; he’ll get paid. Everybody wins.

He isn’t boyfriend material. And she’s not looking for one. Can they stay professional despite their obvious connection?

Fun fact: Audre Mercy-Moore first appeared in the New York Times bestseller Seven Days in June and now stars in her own story!

Love is love!

I love Tia”s writing and this book didn’t disappoint. This story resonated with me even though its focus is on young lovers. The family dynamic and the fact that it was a continuation from another story made it even better.
Narrators were also great.

Holy crap

I just finished listening and man, this book was such a ride. Forgive my biased review, but I never expected to connect so hard with two characters. Sure there were some cheesy parts, but the core of the story was so real that I finished this book in a day. Even though I knew how this was gonna end, I was still enraptured all the way to the end. And the performers were fantastic, both the male and female narrators really sold both characters for me. It felt like their voices were THE Audre and Bash, I don’t think I can imagine any other voice for them. Even the background characters were real, which is saying a lot I think. Defs would recommend giving this a read.

Believability

I liked the way each character's backstory was revealed. The evolution of the relationship between Bash and Audre was cute and respectful.

Perfect blend of story and performance!

This was an absolutely delightful listen! I didn’t want it to end, and now I’m convinced we need a whole series on Audre & Bash. It made me so nostalgic for young love, and the characters were written with such thoughtfulness and care. One of the best surprises was hearing both a female and male narrator for the characters—it made the story come alive and feel even more immersive. Honestly, I hope that becomes the standard for audiobooks. It made it so much easier to get lost in this story. Please give us more, Tia!

Love me some Audre

I love how Audre and Bash grew over the summer. I love how Tia kept the theme of 7 like 7 days of June. I realllyyy hate how Eva changed in this book tho. I understand but I didn’t like it.

Endearing Story

As a person who experienced a deep love as a teenager, I was fully transfixed into their love story. I enjoyed the teenage therapist, driven Audre and that Bash was confident without being overbearing. Also good to see Ava and Shane again. Omg, I'm talking like they are real people. Great job Tia! It's a beautiful story!

Such a good YA read!

Initially read to book at see if Eva and Shane stayed together from Seven Days in June and I enjoyed the story so much! Audre is an amazing character and I’m happy she got her own story to tell!

I don't normally read YA books

This book and Audible were amazing.
I like how this Audible was done. The male and female reading for the respective roles instead of having the woman reading male parts. and the text message interaction was a great touch. 5 🌟 all the way around.
I loved Audre in 7 days of June and love her here. Bash was the sweetest 😭. Eva got on my nerves in this one. Shane was still as amazing as ever. I need another book on Audre and Bash and a TV show.

I enjoyed this more than I thought I would

It was a great and interesting story. I loved that it was a continuation of Seven Days in June. I thought that since it was about Audra, the teenager it might not be as interesting for me, but I was definitely wrong. Like each Tia Williams book I’ve read this one was great! I looked forward to listening to it and really enjoyed the new characters. Definitely recommend for anyone who is a fan of Tia Williams.

Great For Young Adults

A teenage love story. There was depth and imagination to keep you engaged. Several nice story arcs and simple surprises. As a grown woman, you will enjoy this if you like stories about young love set in high school. Not sure if I can see it as a big screen adaptation like her other books.
