BY THE BOOK Meant to Be, Book 2

This fairy-tale inspired audiobook is an unputdownable delight, thanks to narrator Sarah Hollis's sparkling performance. Hollis's energetic narration is a perfect fit for this upbeat romance inspired by the "Beauty and the Beast" story. Hollis's voice is chipper when portraying Isabelle, an enthusiastic editorial assistant who is sent to help Beau, a grumbling celebrity, finish his memoir. Hollis fully expresses each character's emotions--from their initial frustration with each other to their quickly growing infatuation as they begin writing together. Hollis never misses an opportunity to include an audible laugh, which gives the narration dimension and creates a more cinematic experience for listeners. This rollicking performance will entertain those looking for a new spin on a classic tale. J.E.C. © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine [Published: JULY 2022]
