Before You by Marni Mann
5.0
When you listen to a book, you want to become invested in the story and find something to relate to with each character. It doesn’t always happen, but Marni Mann has the talent to do this every time I listen to her stories. With this book, she features two couples, Andrew and Honey from the past and Jared and Billie from the present. Each has their own issues, heart breaking and heart warming. But the intertwining of their lives, the unexpected tragedies, grief, guilt, happiness all lie just underneath the surface and when revealed is like a sucker punch to your heart! It’s one of the best listens this year for me as Mann shares her incredible craft.
Now the casting of this audio is impeccable. First we have Ava Erickson as Billie. A little edgy, full of insecurity yet has a toughness about her all given to us with Ava’s voice. Virginia Rose comes in as Honey, letting us live through her happiness and heartbreak and making our hearts ache and soar with her performance. Lastly with Jason Clarke as Jared, warm, protective and guarded, leaving us loving him. The pick of these three really brought the emotional charge to life, letting us live their stories with them. The perfect listen.
