Gold by E.J. Noyes
5.0
9/10
Why didn’t I read one of E.J. Noyes’ books sooner? I love her characters and I love the beautifully written captivating story she’s telling. The book made me happy. What more could I ask for?*
I don’t even know where to begin - I loved everything. Everyone was so amazing. Obviously, I liked Cate’s daughter, Gemma, the most but Aspen was pretty close behind. Their backstories are interesting and felt very real. I love their adorable family and I got pulled into it very quickly. I will probably reread it and, honestly, I’m thinking about doing it right now.
This story also reminded me how much I love snow and winter and mountains. I miss skiing and, since I started reading this book, I’ve been talking my girlfriend’s ear off about it. Well, actually, she misses it probably as much. If not more. Broke life is hard.
If you have this book in your to-read shelf don’t waste time like I did and just jump into it already. No safety net needed - this book’s got you.
9/10 audio
Abby Craden did an amazing job narrating this book. I know that, in the past, I didn’t rate her audiobooks as high but now that I’ve gone through some not-so-good narrators I appreciate Abby Craden so much more**. Well, when she steers clear of non-American accents. But, really, if you haven’t already read this book (or you plan to reread it), pick up an audio copy ASAP.
* I think that I put almost all of her books in the to-read shelf now. I’m excited for more.
** I guess I was just lucky to start out with Angela Dawe and ended up comparing all the narrators to her.
