My Life as a Rock Album

My Life as an Album, Book 3

De: LJ Evans

Narrado por: Sarah Puckett, Neill Thorne

"They took broken and made it art."

I wanted to be left alone to build my art until she entered my world with a bubble gum scent and heartbreak. Now, I don't know what I'll do once she leaves me...as they all have.

As a recovering alcoholic and a rude bastard, Seth Carmen knows he's better off alone. He's made a success of himself by focusing on the one thing he's good at: turning garbage into something stunning. But when feisty blogger, PJ Hensley, enters his world with her fairy-like quality, he suddenly can't imagine a life without her in it.

PJ Hensley is dealing with her own tormented past and a stalker she doesn't want to admit to having, but she's pulled herself together in order to graduate and focus on her future. The last thing she needs is a moody trash artist entering her world. But like all things Seth, he enters anyway with an intensity and focus that leaves her breathless.

When the stalker emerges from the shadows and causes PJ to run, Seth spends five months writing her letters, trying to convince her to come home. Can he prove to her that they can weld their broken lives into something beautiful?

Inspired by Bon Jovi songs, comes a novel from award-winning author, LJ Evans, that shows how love and acceptance can heal even the toughest scars.

The My Life as an Album series is a set of interconnected stand-alone novels.

A captivating whirlwind.

The amount of heart that went into Seth and PJ is evident by emotions they made me feel. There were moments when I almost got chills from the heartache. Puckett and Thorne may be leading the tour, but Evans is never far away. Rock Album shoves you through the rain toward a rainbow that proves itself to be a well hidden and hard earned reward. A captivating whirlwind.

Emotional!

This is the third book in the My Life as an Album Series written by LJ Evans. This story can be listened as a standalone, but you don't want to miss one book in the Series. I like how each chapter is themed with a lyric from Bon Jovi's songs. Seth and PJ's story is heartwrenching, emotional, intense, and beautiful, filled with misunderstandings, a lack of communication, and a little suspense. The story is slow paced, and the back and forth, past to present, is well done. Seth's letters are beautiful. The ending is heartwarming. I love to have both POV. The supporting characters are great, and they have an important part in this story. Sarah Puckett and Neill Thorne did an amazing job with the narration. Sarah Puckett is already one of my favorite narrators. I like her reading as PJ. Neill Thorne is a new narrator to me. He has a great voice, really pleasant to listen to. He is perfect as Seth. I enjoyed it. I love this Series. Looking forward to listen to My Life as a Mixtape, the last book in the Series. #AudiobookObsession

heartwrenching intense love

Wow a gut wrenching, emotional, story based on songs by Bon Jovi. Another great wonderful read by LJ Evsns. each book in this series is phenomenal
Seth is a renown junk artist, a recovering Alcoholic, domineering, confident, possessive. But underneath, all he really wants is someone to love him. His broken background keeps him from knowing what real love is. It's hard for him to communicate his deep feelings with PJ. They only way he can show her is in his sculptures, art and touch.
PJ parents died when she was 13, She lived with her brother who was in college, giving up his dream of going to med school.
Her insecurities and low self esteem in high school gave her a false sense of love. Did the boys really love her or just used her?
PJ never met anyone as intense as Seth. His possessiveness eventually will drive her away
The story is about their emotional break, his letters to PJ and explaining his feelings, his tormented childhood and what was behind his actions.
Seth portrayed their relationship in one of his sculptures. It's knots twisted, coming together as one. The symbolism in this story shows how broken both are but come together in the end.
Oh I can't say how much Sarah Puckett and Neill Thorne are phenomenal in their narration. Their voices and personalities for each character were spot on! The ability to transition from one character to the other is flawless. Both showed PJ and Seth at their strongest, weakest and most vulnerable moments. I thoroughly enjoyed listening tothe story.

I wish I could give it more stars!

I loved this book when I read it but Neill Thorne and Sarah Puckett brought it to life in a whole new way. The story had so much depth and so much feeling with these 2 reading it. I'd give this audio version 10 stars if I could!

Emotional Punch!!

This story was painful but it was beautiful. It’s an interesting mix. PJ and Seth both have had such a hard life and they have so much baggage. Sometimes when life is hard you seek out ways to cope and not all of them are healthy… this is something that so many people deal with. It’s hard to hear about and I felt this story. It’s easier to use something to block out life than it is to face it. It’s easier to be dependent on another person for validation than it is to validate yourself. So just go in knowing that… this Rock album story is much more difficult than the earlier books. This one might have some triggers, so go in knowing that you’re mentally aware. That’s all I’ve got as far as the storyline… this one if a heart breaker so grab those tissues!

I really like the way LJ Evans set up this story. It felt kind of interactive with the letters and the responses. It flowed so easily and it was just so different of a flow to most other books out there and hearing it in audiobook was amazing! I’ve never heard Neill Thorne previously. He and Sarah Puckett had a hard job in front of them. These characters were emotional and full of… drama, I don’t really want to say drama but the emotional upheaval was deep and heavy. Pucket and Thorne really portrayed those emotions and just seemed to embody those characters.
