A review by teenykins
Hold Me Under by Riley Nash

5.0

Amazing narration from two new to me narrators. They were incredible in portraying the 2 MCs in a story that was complicated, gritty, frustrating, difficult, painful since it deals with hard and dark themes that have shaped the 2 young MCs into two people surrounded by hard walls to protect what they could salvage of their vulnerability, the last dregs of their innocence and sweetness. Despite all that they had gone through, once they started to connect, show their soft underbelly to one another, notice patterns in their behaviour and stand between them and what it could hurt them, the story was also sweet and hopeful and with one of the best exchanges of ILUs that it could have,

Fortify yourself before you start this. The pain it deals to the readers isn't crushing but it is a continuous and deep ache.

Kati has an amazing review here that has pretty much described spot on what my feelings were while listening and after I finished the audiobook!

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.
