From start to finish, I loved this audiobook. At times, I couldn’t stop listening — throwing a wrench in for things that require me to be fully present. 🙂 Milo and Niall are both delightful (and we have wonderful cameos from Silas and Oz). It was hard to go through the beginning part where Milo..

Tears!!!! I can’t count the number of times I had years running down my face from laughing so hard!! Joel Leslie is simply amazing performing not only Oz, but all of the characters who each have distinct British accents *bows down to Joel* Oz has to be one of the funniest and snarkiest characters in..

I loved this book! Listening to books is always so much better than reading. The performance was amazing and I felt what the characters were feeling. The creative banter between the characters was refreshing and didn’t feel forced. I have never laughed so much when listening to a book. The author is amazing at creating..
