I'm Not Dying with You Tonight
By Kimberly Jones & Gilly Segal
Narrated by: Brittany Pressley & Channie Waites
Length: 5 hours 19 minutes
I'm Not Dying with You Tonight
“I loved the dual narration and the way these two young women bond during a very traumatic night, and the way their characters really seem to grow. I've read whole series that showed less character development in 20 some odd books! Segal and Jones are the perfect pair, and I can't remember reading a novel written by two authors that flowed and gelled as much as this one - the chemistry between the writers adds to the chemistry of the story. This is a total binge-read or binge-listen (I recommend both)! ”
