Offstage Series, Book 1

De: N.J. Gray

Narrado por: Andi Eloise, Brandon Francis

Since a tragic accident shattered her world, Avery Fox has buried her emotions and chosen logic over love, but when forbidden romance, second chances, and an emotional journey with her brother’s best friend turn her life upside down, she’s forced to confront the past she’s tried so hard to forget.

Since that haunting accident years ago, Avery Fox has always followed her head and not her heart. With good grades, a future career in medicine, and a boyfriend ready to take the next step, it seems like she has everything she could ever want. But soon, the facade of her flawless life fades, and she questions every decision she’s made. With nowhere else to turn, Avery is forced to move in with her brother and his bandmates of A Quiet Peril—the band they started in high school that is now touring across the nation and selling out everywhere they go.

Following her head is a lot easier said than done before Liam Lockwood enters her life again. Because when deep-rooted anger and hatred for her brother’s best friend turn to growing affection and burning desire, she wants nothing more than to follow her heart. But there’s a reason she’s always made the controlled choice. When her heart takes the lead, the secret of what really caused that accident all those years ago is revealed, threatening to shatter her life to pieces.

And there’s only one person who can put her back together.

The big dipperlooks like a spoon stuck up among the stars, and I wanted nothing more than for it to come and scoop me up.

This book was amazing! It deals with love, loss and trying to please instead of putting yourself first. I have read this book several times. Andie and Brandon brought this book to life off the pages!

The name

The the narrative and the lil spice it has and the fact that it showed mental illness

“I’ve never wanted to be someone’s someone more than I do yours.”

I've come to the conclusion that Andi Eloise and Brandon Francis should narrate all books together because they are just so good as a narrator duo! Don't get me wrong, they are great as individuals as well, but they have quickly become one of my top 3 narrator duos.

This story was full of miscommunication, not only between the MCs but also between Avery and her family, which caused some very tense passive-aggressive relations, which in turn were reflected in Liam’s perception of her, with him being her brother's best friend and bandmate and all.

I gotta say, even though I picked up on the clues and knew what was coming, it was so heartbreaking when we actually got to see the flashback with the truth about her dad. And I loved the moment that Avery stood her ground against her mom and defended herself and her brother, and also the way that Liam had her back during all of this.

Quote: “It’s okay to change your mind. It’s okay to not have every moment of your life planned out. If life has taught me anything, it’s that your mental health is more important than making someone else happy.”

Absolutely amazing 😻

Absolutely beautiful story with the perfect ending. Not my normal read but I’m so very glad I bought it. You won’t be disappointed. The narration is amazing. The voices will pull you in and keep you in. I started reading and couldn’t stop. I literally finished it in one day. It’s that good.
