Very cute & sweet novella. While this can be a standalone, I think you should listen to Starfish first so you can get to know Jase better. I really enjoy second chance romance and Jase & Cami's relationship has that long lost love feeling from the beginning of this novella. I have to say, this book shows Jase's sweet & humble side for sure and I love that he worries about taking the spotlight away from others or people knowing he is behind any good deeds. To me that just makes him ever more likable.

The narration was great. The book is almost all Jase's POV so Tim Paige narrates most of the book and he does a good job. Kelsey Navarro only does a very small part but she was great!

Quick and Fun Novella!

Overll 4 stars
Narration 4.5 stars
Story 4 stars

This was a quick and fun novella featuring Jason (Jace) from Starfish. I really loved the premise of the "Dear Future Self" letters and how they played into Jason's return home. Things move very fast between Cami and Jason, but it worked since they had been childhood best friends and the foundation was already there. I do wish there would have been a few more scenes of them getting to know each other again as adults though. There wasn't a ton of drama and the ending really was perfect. I really enjoyed the narration by Tim Paige. He's a newer to me narrator, but I thought he balanced Jason's playful and bolder sides very well. Kelsey Navarro only narrated one chapter, but she complemented Tim Paige well. I wish that Cami would have had more chapters, so we could have gotten a better glimpse of things from her point of view. Overall, Dear Future Self was a fun trip back to the Starfish world!

Quick, Heart-Warming Novella

When I won this book on a Facebook giveaway, I wasn't even aware that it was part of a series! As a matter of fact, it wasn't until after I read it and was looking at Audible, that I realized that it was a novella in the Starfish Series. So I totally think you could successfully read Dear Future Self as either a Standalone or part of the series!

I love the title of this book! To me it breaths so much promise and the book delivered just that! I honestly can't wait to dive into the rest of this series...that's just how much oomph it gave me!!

I think it takes a special writer to successfully write novellas because there's a certain delicacy between too short and too long...too much or too little information, but I think Lisa Becker just hits the spot with this one!

Anytime a book has multiple narrators, I get a little giddy! I love being able to easily distinguish which character is front and center, and I find it easier with multiple narrators. Tim Paige and Kelsey Navarro are a perfect fit for this title! I look forward to hearing more from them!

Overall, this was an excellent quick, heart-warming read!

Second Chance to Love!

Dear Future Self is spin-off novella of Starfish, a Rock Star Romance. Jason and Cami's second chance to love is fun, sweet and sexy. They are both great characters. I love Mr. Hancock's Dear Future Self idea! The Girl Scout is hilarious!! Tim Paige and Kelsey Navarro did a great job with the narration. I loved it!

Perfect follow-up novella

This is the perfect followup to Starfish, a book that I absolutely loved. This novella is about former front man, Jase Connors when he comes back to his hometown after the music teacher that changed his life passes away. Jase is reunited with his childhood best friend, Cami, when their teacher leaves them in charge of planning his memorial and mailing out years of “Dear Future Self” letters that he had his students write. The sparks fly between Jase and Cami, which causes Jase to rethink his whole life. The road and endless string of one night stands has gotten old and he’s ready to find the one he’s meant to be with.

I loved the romance, drama and angst of this novella. It was a perfectly blended mix. Even though it’s a novella, the plot twist that is thrown in is perfect. I can’t wait to read Oliver’s story next.

I listened to the audiobook version of this book and Tim Paige did a wonderful job. I loved the special appearance of Kelsey Navarro. I love listening to duel narration audiobooks with these two. They compliment each other and make each story amazing.

Very sweet Novella that I highly recommend!

Jace & Cami had been friends in high school. Jace left town & became a famous rockstar. He left every thing behind when he moved to Los Angeles. The death of his high school music teacher brought him back home. Could Jace coming home change everything for him? Not if his manager, Damon has anything to say about it. Loved this sweet friends to lovers story! Highly recommend! Tim Paige did an amazing job narrating & loved Kesley Navarro's chapter as well.

Fun and sweet novella

ebook and audio
Loved that this was all in the male POV ( FYI, audio all Tim Paige and only the epilogue was Kelsey Navarro). The narration was excellent. Looking forward to more from this author.

Cute & Fast

This book follows leads singer Jason “Jase” McNamara from Starfish (listen to that one first to understand references)

I liked this story and it makes sense why it was fast as they had been childhood friends with possibly always a little more underlying.

Jase trusted Damon annnnddddd BAM lol

Tim Paige ROCKS! Kelsey Navarro ROCKS!

Coming home

Fantastic novella and left me wanting so much more of Jason and Cami. This is book two in the Starfish series and in book one Jase aka Jason is a big time player. A different woman at each concert venue. Two of his bandmates from Kings Quarters have found happiness and settled down but that isn't in the cards for him right now. He has went out as a solo artist and doing great but he pressure is real so when he gets a call to come home he welcomes the break. Cami can't believe she is setting here across from Jason, aka Jase, after all these years. They were best friends a lifetime ago and now he is famous. She has some heartbreak to mend from him from their teenage years and not sure it is worth the effort.

This is a great story of old friends that lost touch but never lost the feelings they had for one another. It also shows us how the party boy Jase does have a heart and just want that one woman that loves the real him and not the famous version of him.

Tim Paige and Kelsey Navarro do a great job. I loved listening to this book, my only complaint is I wanted more. It's such a great story.

I received a code from Audiobook Obsession to listen and review with my honest opinion. 5 stars for me. Loved it and recommend it. It is a stand alone so you don't have to listen/read book one, but it is great and I recommend it as well.

Short and sweet!

Love her writing! Just go ahead and listen already! :) read the first one in the series (starfish). Soooo good too!
