Can we get an amen? Oh, and he reconciled with how although he meant well, his ignorance about the ramifications of how he came to live in the neighborhood did not absolve him of being part of the problem. When Theo and Sydney pair up to dig into the history of the neighborhood, it is refreshing to see how Theo is confronted with his white privilege. The funny thing is Theo's background is low key not what it seems, so there's that. I will be looking for other performances by her.Now, enter one of her new white neighbors, Theo, who is intrigued about his new neighborhood and attempts to immerse himself in the community. She includes just the right amount of angst, and adds a thread of familiarity with her voice. This is my first narration by her, and she has distinguishable voices and brings out the insecurities and true passion the characters have. And the mark may be the push that they need. Abby and Ethan are regular people, with flaws they find unlovable, but are really the things that make them unique. It shows that there is someone for everyone, that what you see as flaws may be what someone finds attractive. This enemies to lovers story is beautifully told in an original way. Ethan has recently returned from the military, helping his ailing mother and is the one that Abby has always loved to hate. Now she is home, as the two come to terms with this, and is able to hang out with her sister, Beth and her sister’s best friend, Ethan. Until one night when the mark appears on her and not on him. I highly recommend this bookĭo you think your soulmate it out there? Abby is happy with her boyfriend, and since neither has received their soulmate mark is thrilled to know she can be with her love. Great acting, as well, with the character voices. She did a fantastic job of bring all of the characters to life and helping us to understand how each were feeling and helped us to get to know them. I listened to the audiobook version of this story and this was my first with the narrator, Eb Barger, as well. The ending came rather quick and I sure wasn't ready for the book to be over.but that is because I was REALLY enjoying the story. With that, I would have liked to have known more about Ethan's thoughts regarding everything. I enjoyed the story from start to end, although I feel that the author probably could have delved into more details with the soulmark, the relationship with Abby and her boyfriend, and her relationship with Ethan. This story gives a fun twist to life in today's world by bring in the possibility of receiving a soulmate mark.or not. My first book by Alyssa Cole and I am pretty sure it won't be the last.
