Wonderful, fun read

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I thought this book was well written and well paced. I very much enjoyed the story line and the characters.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Easy?

I am a bit of a feminist, so I love it when characters empower themselves and others, both females and males. I thought that was both worthy of the read and touching as part of the plot line.

Which scene was your favorite?

I love a good meet cute.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I had a fair amount of laugh out loud moments, particularly when the characters thoughts or reactions were so true to the real world.

Any additional comments?

I thought the performance was wonderful. Tara Sands has a wonderful voice and great inflection and timing. I truly enjoyed the listen!

Easy

An easy decision to make in buying this audiobook. Has always been one of my favorite print books. The audio version did not disappoint. Looking forward to listening to Lucas’s POV w/ Zachary Webber narrating.

BORED

I am so bored that it has become just noise in my head.
The first chapter was good but I can't keep listening

To much $ex for Young Adults

Normally I like books written for young adults because they usually aren't as sexually graphic. I was very disappointed this book is teaching YA to have sex with someone they are sexually attracted to w/o having any real face to face conversations...quote "Don't talk".

Great story.

Rating 4.5 stars
Swoon... Is was a different type of book than what I would normally go for. I normally prefer smut to romance but this story was so lovely. Normally I need to feel attracted to the hero so that I can picture myself as the heroine (did I mention I read smut). But this story I didn't do that for me. I was reading it like she was my closest girlfriend and I was genuinely and ridiculously happy for this union...and I loved it!!

This story made my heart happy to think that guys like Lucas could actually exist. Really enjoyed this story :). And the voicer did a great job. Especially loved the tone she used for Lucas, but she made very distinctive choices with each character so they all sounded different.

Easily Liked

I wish we could give half stars because this rates at least a 4.5. It's the first of the Contours of the Heart books and this one is Jacquelyn's book. I should have listened to it first but I am such a Zachary Webber fan I listened to Breakable first. Didn't make a HUGE difference but enough. Breakable is not a sequel but a parallel story from Lucas/Landon's POV (see my review of it...I thought it stunning). This is a lovely coming of age story of a couple of college aged kids who are drawn to each other...one experiencing a rebound from being dumped by her boyfriend of 3 years (that would be Jacquelyn) and the other a badly damaged student who finds himself drawn to her. Through a series of events, they become friends albeit under false pretenses. It's the story of how they gradually connected and the circumstance that almost split them apart. It's quite a beautifully written book that I wish had been narrated by someone who sounded a bit younger and more feminine (except for when vocalizing the 'boy' parts). It's easy on the ears and will certainly pull at your heart.

Beautiful story

I enjoyed this book. I wish there was a sequel. I want more of Luke and Jacquelyn.

Not a good read

I listened to this entire book throughout the course of a day. It's basically the aftermath of an assault and attempted rape. It is a very good story that touches on a lot of issues that victims of assault suffer during and in perpetuity. However, I was under the impression that this book was more of a romance novel.

Loved it!!!

Became a fan of this author!!!! What a great book! Just saw there are more books and I am ready to listen! Loved Lucas and Jaqueline!!!

Perseverance conquers all.

What made the experience of listening to Easy the most enjoyable?

I love that the author showed the characters can overcome heartaches and hard ship especially in this young adult novel. I love Lucas.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Great choice with the narrator. Her voice is perfect for this YA book.

Any additional comments?

This book dealt with rape topic and I thought the author did a great job working it through the story line. I am glad she showed the thought process of how the character worked through her decisions.
