GLASS SLIPPERS, EVER AFTER, AND ME

Caroline Shaffer narrates this contemporary friends-to-lovers fairy tale. When aspiring author Charlotte Kingsley receives yet another book rejection, she is inspired to write a bestseller about the myth of real-life fairy tales. As her writing career soars, her relationship with her best friend and neighbor, Anders, deepens into more. Shaffer gives an energetic performance, keeping the listener engaged with the characters' exploits. She navigates both the life-changing events and emotional roller coaster Charlotte experiences, managing to maintain the humor in the story without sounding contrived. In voicing the characters, Shaffer maintains clear differentiation. A modern-day Cinderella story, this is a delightful listen for those who like a sweet romance complete with a happily-ever-after.
