OUR WAY BACK TO ALWAYS

Narrators Natalia del Riego and Adan Rocha make a perfect pair in this Latinx contemporary romance. Luisa "Lou" Patterson and Sam Alvarez used to be best friends, but it's been four years since they've talked. Now it's their senior year in Port Coral, Florida, and they have some unfinished "bucket list" business. The dual narrations give listeners a deeper look into each character as they stumble through miscommunications and misunderstandings. In this charming and easy listen, del Riego and Rocha capture the struggles and successes of balancing family expectations and personal desires. Del Riego deftly shows Lou's headstrong personality while still making her lovable. Rocha's portrayal of Sam's grief is especially notable, so palpable and heartfelt that it will leave listeners full of emotions. E.P. © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine [Published: NOVEMBER 2021]
