KID by Jescie Hall
5.0
Edited Jan 30, 2024 to review the audiobook:
Narrators: Joe Arden and CJ Bloom
Narration Style: Duet
Standard Length: 14 hr, 1 min
Listening Speed: 1.15x
Published By: Blue Nose Audio
Triggers: If you or a loved one have ever struggled with addiction or self-harm, this book may feel especially heavy for you. Please proceed with caution.
If you like Joe Arden, you are probably going to love this book! Kid is told almost entirely from the male main character (Kid)’s point of view. I’ve never heard Joe Arden narrate like this before. He voiced the perfect laid-back golden retriever addict so well. He had me DYING with laughter in the LSD chapter. I’ve never listened to CJ Bloom before, but she has a new fan 🙋🏻♀️! Her narration was sly and sultry, the perfect voice for our black cat FMC, Han. The narration amplified the feelings I felt while reading this book, and this story put me through every emotion.
You should get this audiobook. Your inner 90’s kid will thank you!
Original Review:
For those of you that have read Hawke or have it on your TBR: I’ve read all of Jescie’s books this year, but my favorite has to be her book Kid. Kid is a contemporary romance with dark themes. However, sometimes I forgot it was a dark book because of how much the main character Kid (Kai) made me laugh. His inner dialogue and the words that spill out of his mouth had me rolling on the floor! The main female lead, Han, is elusive and battles many mental demons. Their story is absolutely unique and I’ve never read anything else like it!
