HOW COULD SHE

Narrator Brittany Pressley is an opportune choice to recount the complicated friendship of three women who are all going through different challenges. Pressley deftly expresses each character's perspective and evokes the listener's empathy. After her fiancé ends their engagement, Geraldine moves from Toronto to New York City to see if being in the same environment as longtime friends Sunny and Rachel will bring her the career successes they have achieved. Using tonal variations and a smooth pace, Pressley emphasizes the believability and humor of the characters and makes clear the motivations for their actions. This is an honest portrayal of female friendship and loyalty and how these ties can be broken. D.Z. © AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine [Published: AUGUST 2019]
