 Audiobook Review | 2.5 Stars
Always Mine by Laura Pavlov
Narrated by: James Gloucester & Sarah McEwan

This was a cute, easy small-town romance—childhood friends to lovers with a sweet, familiar vibe. The story itself was enjoyable enough to pass the time, but it didn’t leave a lasting impression or pull me in emotionally the way I’d hoped. It’s one of those reads that’s pleasant in the moment but doesn’t stand out afterward.

As for the audiobook, I really enjoyed James Gloucester’s performance—he brought great energy and warmth to the male lead. The female narration didn’t quite work for me personally, which made it a little harder to stay immersed. Since this narrator pair continues throughout the series, I’m hoping their dynamic grows on me in future installments.

If you’re looking for a light, low-angst friends-to-lovers story with a small-town backdrop, this might be a good one to throw on during a slow afternoon.
