PRITTY

Narrators Eric B. Anthony's and Landon Woodson's tense, emotional performances will draw listeners into a Savannah neighborhood where a dangerous plot threatens to tear apart two young men who are discovering love for the first time. Woodson takes on a youthful, unassuming voice for Jay, a romantic who is used to being overlooked until he literally collides with Leroy, an empathic teen who has faced his fair share of challenges. Anthony's intonations and harder tone work well to emphasize Leroy's dialogue and vernacular. When danger arrives, the teens find safety in an interconnected network of friends and family who are vibrantly portrayed by both narrators. Their voices are bright and soulful for the good times and turn solemn as loyalties shift. J.E.C. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine [Published: JANUARY 2024]
