AMAZING LOVE STORY!!

So I just picked this book up on a whim. “Eh, sure sounds good. Something different and I’ve never tried this author before.”

This reads like a woman reading back the story of the love of her life and it’s EVERYTHING. I was pleading with the hero to open his eyes, celebrating when he does and bawling my eyes out. This was so sooooo amazingly good I can’t wait to dive into book 2!!

I do want to mention with the heaviness of this story it DOES have a HEA. Trust. 💗

beautiful heartbreaking story

Never in my life have I listened to a story with a myriad oF emotions . laughing, anxious, joy, sorrow , all out sobbing and crying. There were times I wanted to throw my Kindle . Jake you're so blind! Don't throw away the love both you have for each other. There always was a sixth sense that always bound them together, even when they were apart. A connection no one person could explain. As her mom always told her "You were his before you were mine."
As usual Sarah Puckett is superb! She is excellent in the narration of this story from Cammys point of view. I felt all the joy, love and heartbreaking moment . I loved listening to the wonderful story. 🎧audiobookobsessionreviewer🎧

Blown Away

I don't even know where to begin with this review. I think Sarah did an amazing job narrating this story and bringing so much life and depth to these characters I was part of their story. She made the transition between the characters so easy to listen to and such a pleasure to listen to.

This story -- WOW!!!! These characters and their story were so well written. I knew my heart was about to be ripped apart and every chapter I stated had me wondering if this was it. Truly this story is one of the most beautiful love stories and while for sure it ripped out my heart and left me ugly crying LJ Evans found a way to put me back together. I found the author did an amazing job providing the back story and just the flow of the story was the right way to be done. She hooks you in and just won't let you go. This was my first book by this author and I am so excited to read more.

Truly award-worthy!

Wow, this audiobook was incredibly emotional. It left me with a feeling of having my heart ripped out and stomped on… I couldn’t stop! Obviously I have some type of obsession with hurting my heart. I haven’t read or listened to LJ Evans previously but I’m so happy that I’ve forced myself into trying new authors and new genres. This is one of those hidden gems that have been right in front of me the entire time.

Miss Evans creates her characters so deeply and so layered that I felt as if I knew them. I found myself occasionally laughing out-loud at some antics or banter. I also found myself tearing up several times. I’m not huge into coming of age stories, I mean, mine was hard enough. However, I was quickly immersed into My Life as a Country Album. It’s deeply layered in friends and family and really showcases the fears and problems family show while really sharing that love.

Sarah Puckett is a fabulous narrator! While this book is told in both male and female POVs, the book is narrated by Miss Puckett only. However, for once, this doesn’t bother me. I generally enjoy a male/female narration when the book calls for it. But Puckett creates enjoyable male voices that are very believable. She also gives us an excellent southern accent that’s a total hoot! I can’t wait to listen to more from her.

Interesting

I got this story via audiobook boom and this is my voluntary review. This story was interesting in that the whole story was told by the narrator as if she is writing to a dead person. She goes through their whole life remembering things. The conclusion was good in that even after the pain she was able to find happiness with someone she knew from growing up. The narrator was good and spoke in a southern droll.
