THE SECRETS WE KEEP

David Allen Vargo narrates an age-gap romance that blooms from deep sorrow. Jasper has been floating through life with his best friend, Lacy, by his side. When a tragedy brings Lacy's Uncle Rob to Chicago from California, Jasper finds a connection with the handsome older man, which deepens over the months they are apart. But old secrets threaten to destroy their relationship just as it starts. Vargo, who has performed several previous audiobooks by the author, gives the characters voices befitting their ages and personalities, showcasing his vocal versatility. During times of introspection or recollection, the production uses a far-away sound quality to denote the shift. Fans of the author and narrator's other collaborations will find this one equally engaging. A.L.S.M. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine [Published: MAY 2024]
