BETTING ON YOU

Jesse Vilinsky and Zachary Webber expressively perform this friends-to-lovers romance. Bailey is less than thrilled to start her new job at a hotel waterpark upon moving to Nebraska after her parents' divorce. She also never thought she would be working with Mr. Nothing, Charlie, the boy she met on her first flight to Omaha. Charlie claims that members of the opposite sex can't be friends, and Bailey wants to prove him wrong. Vilinsky's portrayal of Bailey's vulnerable and conflicted persona is emotional and full of feeling, while Webber's charming mellow tone complements Charlie's guarded yet benevolent nature. Listeners will cheer as Bailey and Charlie let down their walls and fall in love. J.J.M. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine [Published: JANUARY 2024]
