Audiobook Review: Audre and Bash are Just Friends by Tia Williams

Audre & Bash Are Just Friends by Tia Williams
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Audre has the hardest choice to make - deal with the luck that has handed her, or allow the problem to take over the good that could become out of her summer. Audre feels, I think, that life has let her down. She's become second fiddle to both of her parents' new children and feels like they've pushed her to the side. When her best friend suggests she hang out with someone who can help her learn what the real deal is about being a kid in the summer, she turns to Bash. The boy that everyone has something to say about, but are the things they say true, or just fabrications?

When Audre comes to Bash asking him to be her fun consultant, he's taken aback. What could someone like him be able to teach someone like her? Yes, she's pretty, yes, she's got her head on her shoulder, but there's something about the things she wants to do that pull him in, wanting to help for the sake of spending more time with her.

This book took a turn toward the end that really shook me. I'd like to say that Tia Williams is a master of showing how generations of women can hide what they call a curse in order to break the cycle that has been passed down from generation to generation. Ms. William's characters are real, heartbreaking, and emotionally aware.

I'd also like to commend the narrators for doing an exceptional job. Jordan Cobb and Torian Brackett - bravo!

I'd like to thank the publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book.
