About This Audiobook

Something Like Spring is a captivating, unpolished gem of an audiobook that doesn't shy away from the harsh realities of foster care. Jay Bell's prose is gritty and authentic, painting a vivid portrait of Jason Grant, a young man with a guitar and a chip on his shoulder. Kevin R. Free's narration is nothing short of exceptional, bringing Jason's emotional journey to life with a raw, visceral intensity. What sets this audiobook apart is its unapologetic exploration of love in all its messy, complicated glory, wrapped in a story that's as heart-wrenching as it is heartwarming.

Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

I was blown away by Kevin R. Free's narration. He captures Jason's angst, vulnerability, and growth with such nuance and emotion that I felt every high and low right alongside him. The pacing is spot-on, allowing the story to unfold organically, with just the right balance of tension and release. While some secondary characters could have used more development, it's a small critique in an otherwise outstanding audiobook. The production is clean and unobtrusive, letting the story and narration take center stage. If you're looking for a romance that's equal parts heart-wrenching and heartwarming, with a protagonist you can't help but root for, look no further.
