BRIEF CHRONICLE OF ANOTHER STUPID HEARTBREAK

Narrator Nancy Wu brings listeners into the mind of teenage love-and- relationship columnist Lu Charles. Wu's smooth voice has just the right inflections for Lu's dry sense of humor as she muses about love and heartbreak. However, through both the narration and the story itself Lu ends up sounding older than her 18 years. Wu's strength in this work is her delivery of dialogue. When Lu interacts with the other characters, the back-and-forth of Wu's voices is engaging. She especially makes listeners want to hear more of Lu as a columnist who asks just the right questions to get her interviewees to reveal their personal stories.
