Too Hard to Forget

Greyson Ash deftly narrates this audiobook, which seems pretty straightforward at the outset but soon becomes complex. Peggy is returning to her alma mater to find some closure on her college romance, which ended badly. Listeners quickly get a sense of the emotional landscape of the story: Her romance was with the football coach and took place while she was a student, his wife had just died in a tragic accident, he has a child, and he's a devout Catholic with enough guilt for three men. The scenes of tortured angst are balanced out with some flashback to sexy times, and Ash is able to convey the gamut of emotions believably, keeping the listener invested to the end.
