I'm So (Not) Over You

About This Audiobook

Kosoko Jackson’s *I’m So (Not) Over You* isn’t just another LGBTQ+ romance—it’s a sun-soaked, emotionally raw odyssey through queer identity, second chances, and the messiness of growing up. Set against the glittering backdrop of Atlanta’s nightlife, this novel follows Andre Cobb, a film student grieving the end of his relationship with Ishmael, his high school sweetheart. When Ishmael resurfaces with a bombshell confession, their dynamic explodes into a high-stakes dance of unresolved chemistry and painful history. Jackson’s prose crackles with wit and vulnerability, blending sharp dialogue with tender introspection. The story’s strength lies in its refusal to offer easy answers; love here isn’t a neat resolution but a living, breathing thing that demands reckoning. Audiences will find themselves swept up in the rhythm of Jackson’s storytelling—part rom-com, part heartbreak anthem—where every laugh and tear feels earned.

The audiobook’s standout is Timothy Bell Reese’s magnetic narration. Reese doesn’t just voice the characters; he *inhabits* them, modulating his delivery from Andre’s sarcastic, self-deprecating wit to Ishmael’s smoldering charm with effortless precision. His portrayal of minor characters—especially the sassy drag queens and Andre’s found-family crew—adds layers of authenticity, making the world feel vivid and lived-in. The production’s sound design subtly underscores the emotional beats, with ambient Atlanta sounds fading in during key scenes to ground the story in its setting. It’s an immersive experience that turns a great book into something you’ll want to press play on again and again.
