The Mixtape

By: Brittainy Cherry

Narrated by: Jordan Cobb, James Shippy

Since the death of his twin brother, Oliver’s caught between pleasing his fans and finding himself. Emery finds him first.

Emery has never felt more alone. Raising her daughter is both her pleasure and her pain as she struggles to hold on to her job as a bartender and keep a roof over their heads. With no one to help them - no support system - any unexpected expense or late bill could turn their whole world upside down.

Reeling from the death of his twin brother and bandmate, rock star Oliver Smith is trying to drink his problems away. Apparently he isn’t very good at it; they follow him wherever he goes. Also in hot pursuit are the paparazzi, who catch Oliver at his lowest low.

He could have walked into any bar in California, but he walked into hers. Emery helps Oliver lose the crowd, and they find themselves alone: two people whose paths are marked with loss and pain. However, they hold an unshakable hope for healing. They find solace together, but can their love withstand the world?

A fantastic story of 2 broken people finding love

If you have a chance you should pick up this book, Brittainy C Cherry is one of those authors you can count on to write a fantastic story and this one doesn’t disappoint!

Wow!

I loved this book the first time I read it but re-reading with the audio really brought it to life.

Complex and exquisite love story

This was complex and exquisite love story complete with breaking generational curses, personal growth, and dealing with grief and loss. The dual narration was wonderfully done.

All the feels

The story had me going through my emotions. I will definitely listen again. I felt the narrators did a great job.

The biggest connection was lost

Urggggg! Okay so first off, I wasn’t impressed by the performance ONLY because the voices didn’t fit the characters in my imagination! Also, I caught a huge connection that was mentioned in the beginning and I waited patiently for the whole book for the reveal and it never came! If the dots were connected it would have made the story that much better! I won’t mention what it was exactly just in case no one else catches it! I don’t want to ruin it for anyone else! On a whole I think the story was good and if you can stay focused on the story and aren’t distracted by the acting,, I think you will really enjoy it!
