About this listen
Psychic flashes, haunting visions, missing persons, and visits from ghosts. That's just their first date.
Jack has been getting on his parents' nerves for some time. Bad enough he's a rock musician, has crappy grades, and hangs out with his "loser" friends. But Jack's ability to predict the future - well, that just annoys the hell out of them.
Jack's classmate, Lauren, is said to have unique abilities too. The town still talks about when she kept badgering her mother about the money in their wall. For the longest time, Lauren's mother didn't listen. Finally, she did and Lauren's mother hasn't had to work since.
Jack would really like to connect with Lauren but can't figure out how. She's never looked at him twice. But when he experiences a mystifying event involving visions, voices, and spectral visits, Jack figures there's only one person to help him understand who's calling out to him and why. Before long, Jack and Lauren are off on a road trip of discovery that could provide answers to a mystery left unsolved for 20 years. More importantly, they might even unravel the greatest mystery of all - how every so often someone will accept you for who you are.

May, 1945. When bells ring out for Victory in Europe, young wife and mother Gwen wonders if her world is about to change. Six years ago, she married Jack—not out of love, but to keep a secret. On their wedding night, hoping to atone for events in his past, Jack promised he would leave for the war the following day and never return. But Jack is coming home, unable to keep the promise he so faithfully made, and full of hope that he may at last win a place in Gwen’s life and her heart.

Story
There are some odd things about Nate’s new apartment. Of course, he has other things on his mind. He hates his job. He has no money in the bank. No girlfriend. No plans for the future. So while his new home isn’t perfect, it’s livable. The rent is low, the property managers are friendly, and the odd little mysteries don’t nag at him too much. At least, not until he meets Mandy, his neighbor across the hall, and notices something unusual about her apartment. And Xela’s apartment. And Tim’s. And Veek’s.

Adult-friendly YA, quality writing & narration
Would you consider the audio edition of Streetlights Like Fireworks to be better than the print version?
I switched between the audio and book and found both to be exceptional.
What did you like best about this story?
I love reading YA stories, but there's was an intertwining adult story that I found particularly appealing. What we were as kids, what we expect to become, how time changes that for good and bad. And there are ghosts - bonus!
What does Adam Verner bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
The ability to continue the story when I can't keep reading (like any audio) but esp important here because I didn't want to put the book down. But particular to Verner - excellent dialogue differentiated well from internal thoughts, and a pleasant, even narration for the rest.
Any additional comments?
Highly recommend the book and narration. I've recommended the purchase to friends and am planning to loan out my own ebook version.

Journey with your heart and sense of adventure
If you could sum up Streetlights Like Fireworks in three words, what would they be?
Touching, nostalgic, and fun.
What does Adam Verner bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Personality to less-developed characters and a bit more real-ness to scenes that connect the dots.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yeah. The story really drew me in and I wanted to keep listening.
Any additional comments?
Rock and roll, the thrill of a new romantic relationship, the mystery of a deep connection that MUST be explored, and a road trip to cool city after cool city. David Pandolfe writes rich characters in interesting predicaments, the results of which I just HAVE to know. Loved Jack and Lauren, and their journey.

Jack- Mr. Verner perfectly captured the aloof teen I'd imagined!
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Really loved it!
Would you listen to Streetlights Like Fireworks again? Why?
Yes! The story has so many wonderful twists and turns that even knowing the ending wouldn't ruin a second listen.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Streetlights Like Fireworks?
The ending, which I will keep to myself!
Which scene was your favorite?
The ending is such a wonderful surprise, but I also loved the adventure of the journey the characters go on!
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes. Also I read it just about all in one sitting before that!
Any additional comments?
David Pandolfe is a truly fantastic author. His books are so wonderfully paced and so full of wonder that I almost always get through them in a day or so. This one might be my favorite so far... The advantage of the Audio book is that I can't rush it to find out what happens, like I do when I'm reading!

What did you love best about Streetlights Like Fireworks?
The story grabs you from the beginning. It is unique in that there are not so many books out there with a psychic twist.

Jack and Lauren were both great, but my favorite was Jack. I felt like I knew and understood him better.
What about Adam Verner’s performance did you like?
I think his voice is a good fit for the tone of the book.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
