OUR FAVORITE SONGS Moonlighters, Book 2

Diontae Black and Griswold Addams narrate the second Moonlighters novella, a queer romance. Kai was the last person Aiden expected to see at karaoke night as he's waiting for his best friend to arrive. Neither did he expect that bad weather would keep his friend from showing up. As Kai and Aiden spend the evening together, they discover their long-held impressions of each other are misconceptions. What's more, there's an attraction growing. While both Black and Addams are expressive, the dissonance between their performance styles is jarring. Addams's forceful articulation borders on excessive, especially when juxtaposed with Black's reserved enunciation. Both narrators give the small cast of characters unique voices; however, their portrayals--most notably of Kai and Aiden--are significantly different.
