THE BOOK OF LOVE

January LaVoy performs this epic story of three teenagers who are brought back from the dead just long enough to compete in a mysterious game to see who gets to continue to live. In this debut novel by Pulitzer Prize finalist Kelly Link, characters Laura, Daniel, and Mo find themselves back in Lovesend, Massachusetts, one year after they died. Their families have no memory of what happened. LaVoy's narration evokes the dreamlike quality of the novel as two supernatural entities compete against each other, using the teenagers' lives for their own ends. LaVoy captures whimsy and darkness in equal measure, spinning this fairytale-like story into an engrossing audiobook. K.D.W. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine [Published: MARCH 2024]
