BLOWIN’ MY MIND LIKE A SUMMER BREEZE

by Benjamin Roesch

Narrated by: Nicola Fordwood

Production by: Benjamin Roesch

Coming of Age with Rock Style!

Imagine being the talented daughter of a once popular rock group featuring your parents! Although her parents are still performing and they live a carefree lifestyle, their family is beginning to show cracks. Fifteen-year-old Rainey is set on a path of self-discovery. Her parents must decide if they will allow her the freedom to find herself and the adventure begins.

Benjamin Roesch weaves an interesting coming-of-age tale around music and the discovery of one’s true being. Each character is well developed as needed to move the story forward and support the growth of the main characters. The plot twists and issues Rainey faces are realistic and emotional.

The narrator, Nicola Fordwood gives a smooth and soothing performance. She projects the appropriate tone of the moment from pouty to angry to confused to teenage stubbornness. Her cadence was steady. I enjoyed hearing Nicola Fordwood’s performance.

This is an interesting book with some colorful characters and situations. Roesch hit on several key components that teenage girls face and did it well. There were a few places where I feel a bit more should have been added but I do recommend this book.

There were no issues with the production or quality of this audiobook.
