Can You Hear It
by Casey Diam
This book was so good. There was a ton of emotion and it just kept me wanting to drive the long way around everywhere I went because I didn’t want to get out of the car and have to stop listening.
At first I wasn’t enjoying the drugs and alcohol parts because it is high school students. But when you realize that it is part of the story and she will learn from it and be where she won’t need it anymore, it all worked okay for me.
There was a lot with both her family and also the people in the school, mean girls if you will, that made for a very well-developed story with lots of things going on. Not too much, it was really just perfect. The scenes were very steamy, probably a little older than I would give to high school students to read as a school librarian, which is why I call this New Adult in my genre chosen for this review. The name of the school was Alpen Springs, or at least the town name, and that at first bugged me because I kept thinking it should be Alpine without paying attention to the spelling in the title. But that’s my silliness. The setting of a Colorado town with lots of snow made me also wonder if the treacherous weather might be a factor in the story at some point, and so when it did kind of make an appearance, I was like, yeah, I knew it.
As I said, a great story, one I was very invested in and was listening to on the edge of my seat to see where it would all go. I’ll be looking forward to more books from this author in the future.
