awesome

as always erik wrote an amazing book. and Hollie did a super job reading it. i own almost all of the audio books that have been written by Erik and i will probably buy the ones i don't have as soon as i have the funds. i really can't wait till audible has all of them and all of the series in the works are finished. i work over night and audible is really the only thing that keeps me from going crazy!

I loved this book.

I loved it the first time I read this book. This story does not diminish with hearing it. Great story, Reese is a wonderful lead character. Thanks Eric Schubach and Audible for getting our favorites out in audio.

Cute love story

Super cute love story about two people who were outcasts in high school who as adults found friendship and love.

Dependable

Erik Schubach is dependable, any book in the 'Music of the Soul series will offer several opportunities for you to exercise your tear ducts. The narrating character will refer to her true love as her Goddess, or 'that vixen'. She will at some point state 'that woman will be the death of me,' as well as being moved to 'giggle at her/their antics'.
Due to an automobile accident 22 year old Reese Qualls has been in a wheelchair since she was 13. Her hot, bitchy roommates were her childhood friends until they had suddenly turned on her. Once Reese had landed in her chair they weren't any nicer to her, but they were the only people who treated her the same way they had before the accident. The 2 girls, Gwen (a softer version of Missy Hannigan from A Deafening Whisper) and Marcie, Gwen's mini-me, who has been attempting to win Gwen's approval since they were 7. the 3 girls now share an apartment and both girls, especially Gwen, regularly take advantage of Reece.
Reece has elements of Mia Jacobs, Leigh from the short 'Wallflower' and carries the outward damage that at least one of the series ingenue's always have. As you listen to this extremely short, and quick moving story the author attempts to move the reader (listener) through several situations with enough sentiment to have you reaching regularly for the tissue box. The main character will inevitably go through a crisis from which she flees, making said problem worse. Hopefully the author will not have anyone suffer the severe consequences that befell Silent Bob.
Then there is the ultimate reconciliation that is the essence of the genre, one that so often comes across as weak and totally contrived. With this author however there is always enough real emotion to overcome this oft repeated cliched plot device. Once again the author has penned another of the excellent stories available in the series.

Like a Highschool Drama

This was a cute book about tragedy and loss, repressed emotions and friendship. It was pretty simply written but is no less important of a message. I enjoyed this book, the narrator is good about having different voices for each character and does a decent job of displaying emotion that made the book enjoyable to listen to.
