Book description
Summer humidity hits the ear first. That's the audiobook opening. Like stepping into a Brooklyn apartment where the AC's broken. Audre's voice cracks over the phone: no Malibu house. Just apartment walls. Mom's sighs. Goblin Baby's shriek. Her Stanford self-help book's stalled. Needs wild dares. Needs fun.
Bash's voice answers next. Smooth. Low. "Fun consultant?" He laughs. Not a boyfriend. Just a job.
The chemistry? It's not just in the words. It's in the pauses. The way Audre's laugh catches when Bash says something stupid. The way his voice drops when he's trying to be serious. You hear it. You feel it.
This isn't just a book. It's a soundtrack to that last, desperate summer before everything changes. The debate team captain's panic. The new guy's quiet confidence. The way they pretend they're just friends while every sentence hums.
"Five dares," Audre says. "You help me. I pay you."
Bash: "Deal."
No hesitation. Just that click. Like two puzzle pieces fitting.
The audiobook makes the banter pop. You hear the smirk in his voice when he says "Goblin Baby." You hear the panic in her voice when she's trying to write her book at 2 a.m. The way she calls her stepdad "the Steppie" - it's not just funny, it's real.
You hear the city outside the apartment window. The distant sound of kids playing. The hum of a fridge. It's not background noise. It's the world they're trapped in. And the world they're trying to escape.
Bash isn't just a crush. He's a lifeline. A way out of the apartment walls. Audre isn't just a girl. She's someone trying to build a future while her present is crumbling.
The audiobook doesn't just tell you their story. It puts you in the car with them. On the bus. Standing under the old oak tree. You hear the rustle of the leaves. You hear the way Bash's voice changes when he says her name.
It's not just sweet. It's electric. Like the first time you realize someone's looking at you. Like the way your heart skips when they say your name.
You don't need to imagine it. You hear it. Right there. In your ear.
The best part? It's not about the romance. It's about the friendship. The way they learn to be real with each other. The way they see each other. Not just as a crush. Not just as a project.
Bash isn't boyfriend material. Audre isn't looking for one.
But the way they talk? The way they laugh? You know.
They're already more than friends.
And the audiobook? It makes you feel it.
You don't just read it. You live it. Right there. In the summer heat.
