TWICE IN A BLUE MOON

This whirlwind story of first loves and second chances is capably narrated by Erin Mallon. When Tate Jones and Sam Brandis meet by chance in London, they fall hard and fast. But after Sam betrays Tate's trust, both of their lives change dramatically. Fourteen years later their paths cross again when both are about to catch their big Hollywood break. With stage directions and script-like touches, scenes are sometimes complex, but Mallon performs adeptly. Despite the contrasting gravelly tones, the male characters are difficult to distinguish; whereas, the female characters' voices are well defined and pleasant. Mallon excels at deeply and sincerely expressing emotions: the sweetness of young love, the pain of heartbreak, and the tenderness of trying again.
