A story of two young loves spanning 60 years comes to life in this charming tale with a mysterious spin. When Chloe, a librarian trying to make ends meet and keep her family above water, comes across a rare book from the 1960s, she wonders if she can sell it and use the proceeds to change her run of bad luck. Then, however, her cranky neighbor Jasper, discovers this book and offers a handsome sum for it. Upon further examination, Chloe sees that the book’s margins are filled with a romantic conversation between two unknown lovers. When another similar book turns up, Chloe embarks on a quest to discover who these lovers might be. The audio is presented by four narrators who help to differentiate the characters in this time-jumping story. Leanne Woodward and Joe Jameson provide heartfelt readings of Chloe and her friend, Zack, who has agreed to help unravel the mystery. Meanwhile, Aven Shore and Joe Jameson offer pitch-perfect renderings of the 1960s couple, capturing their manner and cadence in a way that evokes a period film.
VERDICT Gilmore’s (The Lonely Hearts Book Club) romantic tale is recommended for fans of bookish listens with a twist.
