Honestly Allison, I’m not surprised to hear The Falconer isn’t working for you on audio. I think it would be a tough one to listen to. As I said, most of it was great, but there were some parts where it sort of drifted and I think that would be hard for listening to.

On the other hand, I listened to The Hate U Give and loved it on audio where the narrator was fantastic. I think it’s the same young woman for On the Come Up. I’m sort of holding back until I hear more people’s thoughts on this one, but if I go for it, I think I’ll listen to it.

It also doesn’t help that I was reading On the Come Up at the same time–two different teens with different passions, but On the Come Up is propulsive and this one a little more wandering. I think I’m willing to give it a second chance if I can get a copy, though.

Excellent. I can’t wait to hear what you think.

I’m not 100% you’ll like this one, so you might want to wait a little bit. It could go either way. You’ll like the athlete and the writing, but it does slow down at times.

Thanks, Jan. If you get a lull in your reading, you might try it. Catherine really liked it, too.

I love coming-of-age stories and this one was really unique. We will just need to differ on this one.

Sometimes getting out of your comfort zone can be a very good thing. The sports angle on this one was out of mine.

Great! Let me know if it works for you.
