Oleander

A Great Expectations Reimagining

By: Scarlett Drake

Narrated by: George Naylor

Caspien Deveraux was poison.

It took me years to realise that he hadn't been born like that. He'd been cultivated and nurtured by a careful hand and a bitter heart. When I first met him, he was a bud. One primed to bloom beautifully and deadly. One I should have torn out at the root.

I loathed him. I loved him. And until him, I hadn't known just how completely those two things could exist at once.

Caspien & Jude ❤️❤️ Love them!

Oleander by Scarlett Drake 🌸🌸
This is one of these love stories which will stay on your mind forever.

Jude & Caspien, I love them both❤️❤️ and I was so happy when they finally found their way to each other.
Their story is so heartbreaking and my heart still hurts for them. Poor Jude, he loves Caspien with all his heart and endures so much. Caspien has his own secrets and also have to pay the price for his choices. This story is unique and written with exquisite style.

I also highly recommend to listen their love story on audiobook. The narrator George Naylor's voice and performance is amazing. He is perfect Jude. I absolutely love it.
I would like to read more about happy Jude & Caspien...
Highly recommend to read and listen this book. It's a new classic.

Just wow.

This book really takes you on a journey of emotions. I loved every second of it. Highly recommended!
Beautifully narrated as well.

All the things

I have read too many books to count but this will always be in my top 5. It made me feel Every. Single. Emotion. This will be saved under my comfort reads on audible specifically because of the narrator. My hats off to all involved with this book. It altered my heart and my brain chemistry in the VERY best way. ❤️

The absolutely most deserving 5-star review

This book reminded me why I love reading and that a lot of my 5-star reviews are not actually deserving of such. The story and narration were phenomenal. This book will live in my all time favorites.

Simply Exquisite

This is hands down the best book I have listened to this year. The writing, the narration...perfection in every sense of the word.
