This is even more funnier the second time. Joel Leslie has his good days and this was that day. The voices are distinct enough and Billy's voice fits him.
The adventures of Billy, Jude and Asa are epic
***********************************************
This Book!

5++++++++++++++++++ stars for this amazing book!
I LOVED IT
I laughed, i swooooned, i did fan-self so many times and laughed some more.

I had a blast during my vacation time.
Jude and Asa’s connection/chemistry and the banter was so amazing and on point that I kept rereading the chapters.
Billy! Billy! What an amazing 5 years old character. He was well written just your normal 5-year-old, the best child character i have ever read.....and the way they clicked with Jude was wonderful to read.
The secondary characters were well written too, I loved Dylan and Gabe’s presence in this book after all Jude and Dylan are best friends.
The relationship was a slow burn and once Jude and Asa decided to go for it, it was fireworks. The sex scenes were hot! Just the kind I like.
“Forever?” I say softly, and Asa buries his head in my neck.
I shiver as I feel, as well as hear his words falling into the air like a magical incantation.
“It’s a deal, Jude.”

"I love this Bill already!
“Hey, mate. That’s a big hug. Did you have a good day at school?”
“I did. Guess what? I have a girlfriend.”
“Ooh, what’s her name?”
“Amanda, but Charlie was sad because he didn’t have a girlfriend, so we talked about it and we’re going to share mine.”
There’s a short pause. “Wow, Bill. I think that’s what premiership footballers do.” "

"Lol! Billy......
There’s a silence broken only by the ringing and then it stops and I hear Billy say delightedly, ‘Daddy’. He’s silent for a second,
obviously listening to Asa, before saying, “Jude can’t come to the phone right now, Daddy. He’s in the bin.” "

Wonderful review, Shile! Glad you enjoyed the audio ❤️. I've read it twice so far, will certainly read it again, only not sure about the audio, because the narrator isn't my favourite 😬
He does???? Lyn said something similar recently and it's hard to believe... 😅 Glad you enjoyed it, luv! 😘

Thanks so much Snjez.. I love this book. These three are adorable. 😍
