The audiobook YOU SPIN ME, (BOSTON CLASSICS #3) a nostalgic romantic comedy by Karen Grey is NOW LIVE!
Narrated by Vanessa Edwin and Eric Michael Summerer
Some scars go further than skin deep…
1988 doesn’t end well for Jessica Abraham. In just one week she turns thirty, loses her day job, and loses the role of Ophelia to a younger actress. Rallying, she goes after a part at a theater outside of the city, but the director’s plan to hide her beauty behind hair, makeup and wardrobe from Cosmo’s “Don't” column shakes her confidence to the core.
For the first time in her acting career, she won’t be able to rely on her carefully managed physical charms. Only her craft will count.
On a snowy night early in January 1989, a woman calls into DJ Callihan Alonso’s alt-rock radio show at the end of her commute. He asks her to call back the next night, and the next, just so he'll know she’s home safe. There's something about her voice that has him wanting more, but the longer they talk, the closer she gets. Compromising each and every wall he's built around his heart.
If two lonely people fall in love over late-night phone calls, will meeting face-to-face make them, or break them?
In this heart-rending but happy-ending retro romcom, it may be the end of a decade, but it’s the beginning of a love story.
REVIEW
RATING: ★★★★
You Spin Me is book #3 is Karen Grey's Boston Classics Series. It is funny, emotional, sweet and beautiful. The audiobook narrated by Eric Michael Summerer and Vanessa Edwin was fantastic! The sound effects at the beginning of each chapter I loved. The narrators are masters of their craft and delivered a performance that kept me engaged and connected to the story and unable to stop listening from beginning to end.
As with every book in this series, Karen Grey creates the most unique characters. I love the way Jess and Cal 'meet' initially. Their relationship is formed on an emotional level first rather than physical which I found unique. Cal is a DJ/radio host, and Jess is an actress and dancer teacher. The development of their relationship was sweet I couldn't get enough of their flirty banter during their late night talks. Both Jess and Cal are working through insecurities regarding their physical appearance. Together and individually the support they offer each other is open and honest. It made their connection that much stronger. I loved the slow burn of their romance. They do not rush it and that made it all the more special when they come together. I love the way Karen writes in the 1980s era. It is definitely nostalgic with perfect little touches that brings me right back to my childhood.
Overall I really adored this story. It is a fun, entertaining, heartfelt and emotional. I highly recommend it!
