This is my first time listening to a book narrated by Ava Erickson and I really enjoyed her style of reading. This book is totally from Willa's POV and Ava did a wonderful job as Willa and all of the other male and female characters.
Her voice is very clear and expressive and had me laughing as the sarcasm dripped from her voice. Excellent narration!
Book Review:
"You're under arrest...." could things get any worse? Of course, they can! It's not her fault that her bike crashed into Officer Ray as he insisted on being called. It's not like he didn't copy her work all through high school, but whatever... And then he yells 'gun' to his partner and the next thing she knows she is on the ground being handcuffed. Except it is not a gun, it's a bright pink dildo. Here's how it all began.
She is out clubbing with her best friend's Mazie and Stella when they notice Mr. Tall Dark and Broody watching her. Jamison Drake is known for his conquests and Willa is surprised to have drawn his attention. As she is getting in her car after leaving the club she finds that Jamison has followed her. She is surprised that he knows her name, but her thoughts that he was interested in her come to a screeching halt and she lets him have it.
Jamison has just informed her that her father owes him money and put her as his alternate which meant that she now owed the debt and he was giving her 24 hours to pay up. Twenty-four hours...for $20,000! She is furious! Her dad is a drunken gambler who has lost everything and now he drags her into his mess.
Besides attending college Willa has two jobs so she can pay her dad's bills on top of her own. She has a total of $4 in her account which has to last until her next paycheck. Jamison is crazy if he thinks she can come up with anything to pay off her father's debt. When he shows up the next day and she again explains that she isn't responsible for her dad's money problems, Jamison totally ignores her and tells her she will be paying off the debt. She will be working at his garage over the summer and her salary would go against what was owed.
Just what she needed...to spend the summer getting lost in Jamison's gorgeous eyes. The man was a walking dream....that was until he opened his mouth! Did the man even know how to smile?
I loved this book! It is hilarious from page one. Willa lives in a small town where everyone knows everyone and their business. Which is unfortunate because she is well-known by the police who call her almost nightly to come to pick up her dad.
The book is very well written and the characters are very relatable. Willa is funny and sarcastic and Jamison is moody and hides the real reason he wants her working in his garage. Willa can't seem to keep out of embarrassing situations and I died laughing. Willa's dad on the other hand needs a huge intervention - he is so drunk and clueless as to what he is doing to Willa.
I am reviewing this book from an audio standpoint and Ava Erickson is spot on with her delivery. Highly recommend!
