Just finished Because of Low on audiobook, and wow. I'm still buzzing. Abbi Glines' Sea Breeze world just got deeper, and Marcus Hardy's story? Pure magic. The narrator, Chris, absolutely nails it-his voice for Marcus is that low, steady warmth you'd lean into, especially when he's trying to be steady for Low. You feel every beat of his heartbreak and hope.
I'd read Breathe and loved Marcus as the quiet, steady guy, but this? This is him fully alive. He's back in Sea Breeze, wrestling with his dad's messy new relationship and his mom's unraveling, all while trying to help his sister. And then there's Low. Willow Foster. Red hair, stubborn heart, sleeping over at her best friend's place because her sister kicks her out again. And Cage York-Marcus's roommate, the guy who thinks he's got Low's future locked down with his "sowing wild oats" act. But Marcus? He sees her. Really sees her. And Cage's jealousy? It's like watching a slow-motion train wreck you can't look away from.
The audiobook makes the tension unbearable in the best way. You hear Marcus's voice drop when he says, "She's sleeping in my room," and you know it's not just about the bed. You hear Low's quiet voice, tired but fierce, when she tells Cage, "You're not my future." And Chris? He lets the silence linger after those lines. You feel it. The whole time, I was holding my breath waiting for Marcus to choose-Low or his family. And when that truth hits? Crash. The narrator doesn't rush it. He lets the weight sink in, and I actually paused the audiobook to just sit with it.
What I love most? How Glines makes the small things feel huge. The way Marcus notices Low's hands when she's nervous. The way Cage's fake confidence cracks when he's alone with Marcus. And Low-she's not just a love interest. She's juggling classes, a job, a sister who can't handle her, and still finding moments to laugh with Marcus. Her strength is quiet but undeniable.
This isn't just a romance. It's about family, loyalty, and the messy, beautiful way people choose each other. The audiobook? It's the perfect match. You don't just hear the words-you feel them in your bones, like Marcus's quiet resolve or Low's quiet courage. I kept rewinding lines, not because I missed them, but because I wanted to feel them again. Like when Marcus says, "I'm not asking for your future. I'm asking to be part of it." Chills.
If you've read Breathe, you'll be thrilled to finally hear Marcus's story. If you haven't? Start there. But Because of Low? It's the kind of audiobook that sticks with you long after the last chapter. You'll be hitting replay just to hear Marcus say "Low" one more time. It's not just good-it's the kind of story that makes you believe in slow burns, real choices, and the people who make you want to be better. Just... press play. You won't regret it.
