Thanks, @mustloveaudio and @lm.halloran for the audiobook.
In this conclusion to the A Perfect Song Duet, we jump six years ahead and Wilder has gone through rehab, worked on becoming a better person, and most of all, respected Evangeline’s wishes of him staying away.
Evangeline, however, is a shadow if who she once was. She’s been slowly turning into someone no one recognizes – a transformation done courtesy of her controlling boyfriend. It came to a point that her parents ask Wilder something he’d never thought he’d hear from them. Go to her. Reach out. He may be the only one who can. At the risk of his own mental health, he does. He has to bring his Fairy back.
I was left broken when I finished First Verse and I couldn’t wait to listen to the conclusion of this story. I loved the new version of Wilder. He did the work, he learned how to tame his demons (or at least keep them at bay) and his love for Eva never dimmed. My heart broke for Eva, for seeing her fall into the trap of an abusive relationship. But Laura wrote them a perfect song, an it may have taken them almost a decade, but they finally get to sing it in harmony.
The audiobook is narrated in duet by Isabelle Ruther and Austin Stone, reprising their roles from book 1. They have incredible chemistry together and they managed to show these older versions of Eva and Wilder and take us through their journey. Isabelle is phenomenal here and so is Austin. His portrayal of smarmy Clay will have your skin crawl! Amazing audio!
Note: this is book 2 in a duet and you have to listen to book 1 first.
