In Your Dreams, Holden Rhodes

Stephen Dexter and Vanessa Edwin nail their roles as Holden Rhodes and his partner, bringing layers of complexity to each character that make them feel real and relatable. The pacing is perfect—crisp and engaging without ever feeling rushed. The narration style seamlessly transitions between the tough exteriors of the townsfolk and the tender moments shared by our protagonists. Despite its small-town setting, 'In Your Dreams' packs a punch with its sharp dialogue and poignant storylines. One minor critique is that some of Holden's grumpiness can feel a bit forced at times, but overall, this audiobook delivers a charming and well-crafted narrative that listeners will find hard to put down.
