Nobody puts Quinn in a corner.
Quinn
Just six years old when my brother was snatched off the street, I grew up in the aftermath of tragedy. While other kids were happily playing in the sandbox, I was hiding under press conference podiums listening to my parents beg for Jake’s safe return. People ask if I’m screwed up after what happened, and I never know how to respond. Life after the kidnapping is all I’ve ever known. Well, that and being the youngest brother to a rock star. Jake was the ultimate survivor. The prodigal son. My king.
But I’m not that worshipful kid anymore, and I’m tired of walking a step behind. I’ve got the talent. I’ve got the drive. And now, I’m coming for Jake’s throne.
Jess
What to do with a runaway rock star in my passenger seat?
Jess of yore would’ve jumped at the chance. Hell, she’d already be in his lap by now. She was fearless and fun and sexy. She lived like there was no tomorrow...until tomorrow came calling and delivered her an ultimatum: repent or risk losing it all. And so, responsible Jess was born, the good girl who paid her rent, and watered her plants, and put others before herself.
The new, improved version of myself represented stability and a roof overhead. Yet, sometimes... sometimes, I missed that reckless girl. Wild Jess. God, she’d been so fun. And now, Quinn was here, built like a god and asking me to play. One mindless afternoon of fun. Surely I could spare that for a future rock legend. I could bring old Jess back for just one day.
What could possibly go wrong?

Featured Article: The top 100 series of all time
The feeling of discovering that your favorite new listen is actually the start of a series is euphoric. That you can immediately hit play and re-enter a beloved new world, or love story, or era from history is a gift to the devoted listener. But how to pick just 100 of these unique and immersive listening journeys? We defined a series as having a minimum of three books, and—after some debate—we decided the titles had to be anchored in fiction. From YA to horror to historical fiction, from fresh voices to seminal tales, hours of discovery await.

This is the story of the youngest McKallister brother, Quinn. He has always looked up to his famous rock star older brother. Just as any competitive younger sibling may feel that everything comes so easily to the older sibling and that causes unseen issues sometimes. Quinn seems to like he is always fighting to make himself seen.
Jess is a perfect match for Quinn and easily fits into my idea of what a member of the McKallister family would need to be.
As usual the witty banter makes the reading impossible to put down. Then add these two amazing narrators, Andi Arndt and Zachary Webber, and the story takes on a life of its own!
Make sure to listen until the very end! There is a little authors note that provides some personal insight into Jill's writing and a bonus scene that just adds another layer to the tragedy that this family endures.
Always a no brainer for me to buy anything that Jill writes. It's the perfect escape for me and one i happily go back to many many times! Great job Jill!

Finally, we hear Jess' story- the youngest of the McKallister brothers. I am sucked in from the very first page. Ms. Bengtsson, you are an outstanding writer. You showed us Jess' love-hate feelings towards his famous brother, Jake, and his turmoil for being neglected by his family since Jake's kidnapping that made him feel inadequate in his quest to surpass Jake's success until he meets an unconventional woman, Quinn, who changed his focus and feelings. This book can be read as a stand-alone, but best enjoyed if you have read the other Cake series booK. As for the narrators, they're the best! I listened with Whispersync in one sitting, and I didn't want it to end. I would give this book more than 5 stars if it were possible!!
