Unsung by Amy Knupp
4.0
This is book 2 in Amy Knupp’s Henry Brothers series. This can be enjoyed as a stand alone, but I think it's a little more fun having "met" Seth and the rest of the Henrys in book 1, Unraveled.
This was such a sweet story. Everly and Seth were so much alike yet in different places in their journeys. Only taking place over a few weeks Knupp crafted a beautiful and instant friendship that quickly became more. Yet I still felt like these two really got to know each other and that they belonged together. I was nervous that Knupp might show Everly's mismatch with Trey by making him the bad guy. However, she gave them both the HEA they deserved and I loved that.
There's a little tension from the worry that Everly's hiding spot would be discovered and whether or not she and Seth can have a real future. Overall it had a low angst feel. The Henry family learning of Everly staying at Seth's rental and bringing her into their fold was endearing. And, of course, at times hilarious. I loved getting to catch up on Holden & Chloe as well as the tease for Cash's book, Undone. A lovely listen all around.
Narration:
The casting of Stacy Gonzalez as Everly and Tim Paige as Seth was perfect. They both did such a great job of bringing these two intensely private and wounded people to life. Simultaneously showing the spark of attraction and new relationship. There was something soft, calm, and healing about listening to their performances - the ideal match to Knupp's story.
CW (spoilers):
suicide (off page & in the past) of an acquaintance of Seth's, death (off page) of neighbor
While I borrowed a copy of the ebook via KoboPlus, I received an advance copy of the audiobook from Home Cooked Books and am leaving an honest review.
