Seatmate by Cara Bastone
5.0
Well, I'll be darned. I've had Bastone's Love Lines series playing on a loop, and believe me, it's become my saving grace. What initially began as a time-passing tool turned out to be a real lifesaver.
Let me tell you, Zachary Webber's narrating voice is downright spellbinding. There's a certain enchantment in the way he infuses his dialogues with a humorous tone that has me hooked on the character he's bringing to life. It's almost as if Bastone crafted Sam with Webber specifically in mind. Am I the only one who feels this way?
I'm getting a bit off track here. Now, let's talk about the book. The reason the audible narration, especially the duets, is so captivating lies in the fact that it's not just about reading the words; it's about visually experiencing the characters through their conversations. It's a departure from the usual monotonous narration, and the skillful narrators play a crucial role in making the book truly engaging. I revel in the dialogues—the subtle, realistic details (although, let's face it, a bit of cheesiness is inevitable, right?). In essence, I crave to be swept away in love again, yearning for that bus ride where fingers crossed, a sensible, non-creepy middle-aged man shares the seat with me for hours, and the rest becomes an unforgettable tale.
