About this listen

We were just kids when we met....

He was the boy from down the beach.
I was the transplant from Tennessee.
He became my best friend.
I became his best girl.

And then...it became us.

We shared things...our dreams, our secrets...first kisses and then our hearts.

Seth Drake was my everything. My first crush. My first love. My forever passion. Until that day when everything changed through no fault of ours.

I was crushed. We were crushed.

Great start to a series with an excellent narrator

This is the first book by Andrea Smith I've read/listened to. It flashes back to a couple different points in the timeline. I'm assuming that this first book focuses on the past and others will focus on the present/future. Several times my heart squeezed with pain for Neely. What a hard life she's living in her teens. Seth and his family are wonderful, helping Neely through the hardships. Neely is a talented, strong, smart young woman. Seth is a sweet, caring young man.

After looking the series up, I wonder why so many books? But My interest is peaked and I look forward to the next book to see where the story is going.

Rachelle Williams is an excellent narrator. I LOVE her voice and accent. She has great talent. Her performance was flawless.

Crushed

Listen to a story of first love, as teenage Neely navigates the trials of family drama, crushes, expectations, and friendship. When her family moves from Tennessee to California, the young artist finds a friend in her neighbor, Seth. Him and his family become the only ones she can depend on when things start to take a turn for the worse at home. Just as the two start a fledgling relationship, her world is torn apart and her mother and her move back to Tennessee. But despite the distance, their connection remains, but Neely has her hands full dealing with her mother on her own. Ultimately, Neely faces a tough decision on what will be best for her and her mother in spite of her feelings. The narration is great displaying all the teenage angst and emotion you'd expect in someone exploring love for the first time and dealing with family problems. But make sure you are really paying attention because the story bounces back and forth in time and if you are not listening carefully you can get a little confused. I'm looking forward to seeing what happens next with Seth and Neely.

Rachelle Williams makes of this, an enjoyable ...

Well written with interesting and likeable characters that kept me listening. This is a sharply drawn, painfully, and heartfelt candid coming-of-age story about the life and struggles of a 14 year old girl named Neely and her best friend Seth, that would have you begging for the next audiobook, once you're done listening to Crushed.

great start to this Series

Neely had to grow up fast. Who was the parent when her father is constantly away for business? and her mother consistently drinks herself into oblivion? Was it a real surprise when her father business trips were keeping him away from home ? or was he having an affair?
Seth was her best friend, her first love. Neely, at 15, was wise beyond her years. "life is what you make it not what others make for you".
She had to move back to Tennessee, with her mother. Can Neely and Seth survive a long distance relationship, with what promises they made? or is it some teenage puppy love? Andrea Smith story is of a dysfunctional family, full of teenage angst, family drama , and sweet moments. There are flashbacks between past and present throughout the story.
Rachelle Williams narration mostly voiced with a southern accent. She tells the story very well..

Crushed Dreams

Everyone has their first love. But for Neely, it's all she has. The girl with the Tennessee accent and the charm of a Southern Bell, Neely falls for the boy at the beach, Seth. Together, the two form a bond that can't be broken. Until family matters beyond their control crush this first love of boy and girl.

Now, living back in Tennessee, Neely must care for her mother, who, of course, has taken to the bottle to drown her sorrows. It will take another tragedy for Neely to return to the boy in California. Only now, things are different.

Most girls only have to deal with the growing pains of youth. But with this story, Andrea Smith gives a whole new look on YA. The cheating parent, the addictive mother, and a boy who is asking for what she is not ready to give.

Rachelle Williams brings Neely's character to life with her southern, soft spoken voice, whilst melting into other characters roles. Another great story I'm now invested in and will continue Neely and Seth's story.
