Written by British playwright and actor Charlie Josephine, Massive is a queer love story that is pulsing with urgency and unapologetically poetic.

Emily’s life changes after a terrible car accident when a magnetic stranger, Jax, steps in to take her hand. Their serendipitous union empowers Emily to finally feel comfortable in her own skin, but when the couple’s relationship veers off course, Emily is drawn into a web of obsession and lies.

The 1st 5-7 minutes is stunningly captivating!

This is narrated & produced w/the kind of intensity as "listening" to a movie would be, rather than someone reading a book.

Congrats on the direction, production, narration, & keeping me listening to the very end because I couldn't put it down.

I was expecting more of a normal audiobook and was definitely surprised when it came out more like slam poetry. Very dramatic but also very good, left me with goosebumps at some parts.

More like a slam poetry story.

This audiobook should have been a play. The people reading it at times whispered their lines & at other times screamed. It's impossible to listen to this while driving.

This was SO GOOD. An AMAZING performance and experience. I was glad to have read some of the reviews before I listened because I feel like it made it easy to “settle into my seat” so to speak. This book had REAL and RAW emotion, feeling and expression. It was beautiful and I loved it.

SO WORTH LISTENING TO!!!

The accent is much too strong for me to understand completely. Also, there is way too much foul language and I only listened to the introduction.

Wow. This is a very well performed story and intense from the intro to the final word. Wow.

Prepare for a rollercoaster. Trigger warning for anyone who has food related trauma or challenges, this goes deep into issues with eating disorder.
