Like A Memory (Sea Breeze Meets Rosemary Beach #1)

Okay, so I\’m a huge Abbi Glines fan and have read all her previous books. I was expecting more of the same magic as with her Rosemary Beach and Seabreeze series and this is a completely new one. We do get to hear about previous characters which totally warmed my bookworm heart and we get to catch with them a bit. Still, the characters seem a bit two-dimensional and never fully come alive for me. The main story between Bliss and Nate is a total slow burn until about midway through and then their story begins to takes off. We never really get glimpses of their romance when they were younger which made me a bit sad, but we do get glimpses at other characters. (Get your family tree out for this one!) Still, the story had enough Abbi Glines magic to pull it off and make me like it. This book was good, it just wasn\’t amazing like I\’m used to. 3.5 Stars. Narration by Charlotte North and Mathew Holland was great. It was my first time listening to either narrator and I\’ve got to say that I really enjoyed Charlotte\’s performance. Hers really stood out for me. I\’ll definitely be looking for more of her audios. Mathew was also great as Nate and together with Charlotte they did a great job bringing this book to life.

I miss the Sea Breeze & Rosemary Beach kids so this was a fun book to jar my memory. This was a pretty sad and dark book, especially for Abbi Glines but I enjoyed that. It didn\’t feel like her normal story\’s but that wasn\’t a bad thing. I\’m not usually a fan of the \”innocent\” adult female and the bad boy type story lines but this one worked for me because of past circumstances. I loved seeing some of the original Rosemary Beach & Sea Breeze characters as great parents to their adult children. It kinds brings their stories full circle for me. The narration was good.

Nate & Bliss Normally I dont like the kids kinds of stories. But I have to say I really liked this one. Being a fan of both series its like getting to be with old friends even if youre just meeting these characters for the first time. It was slow going, and I liked that but I kept waiting for something, but once you hit about half way then it all starts to come together. I lovvvvvved the ending, it had me laughing out loud. I <3 Cage York. Always have and always will. On to the next! PS: The narrations was perfect for this book, I really liked Charlottes performance. I enjoyed Matthew as Nate. *You don\’t have to like my review but its 100% my opinion, and I am allowed to have it.*

No, no and no. I\’ve read and loved so many books of Abbi Glines\’. This one was just I stopped and gave up and then was like well I paid for it so I better finish. I\’m kind of sorry I did. The story was so so so immature. The characters were naive. Nate was so dull. I liked the start and that was it. I hated the ending. It was rushed and the twist was kind of a reach. I wish Abbi would start writing a little bit older adult, not YA or NA. I feel like she\’s done all she could in the YA or NA stories.

No substance in the writing and zero genuine depth in feeling. Male narrator not a good fit. Couldn\’t finish book
