CULT CLASSIC

Sloane Crosley narrates her audiobook, a satisfying mix of romance, thriller, mystery, and fantasy. Lola is happily engaged to Boots, but her evenings are unexpectedly teeming with exes. Both her best friend, Vadis, and her former boss, Clive, seem to have formed an interest in her romantic life. While the novel's language is rich, the characters' voices are often indistinguishable. Still, listeners will hear their tones and inflections as Crosley intends. Brimming with her familiar New York City humor, Crosley delivers sarcasm with flawless comic timing and provides a perfect performance as Lola. The story itself is sandwiched precariously between the real and the surreal. If listeners can suspend disbelief momentarily, the quirky plot and surprise ending will keep them on their toes.
