THE RACHEL INCIDENT

Tara Flynn takes listeners to Ireland, where they meet the awkward yet lovable Rachel Murray. The novel starts in the year 2022 but is mostly told in a flashback starting with the year 2010 and progressing forward. Rachel reminisces about her life in her 20s, when she was juggling her newfound friendship with roommate James Devlin and her crush on her married college professor, Dr. Fred Byrne. That crush would change the trio's futures. Flynn portrays Rachel's wit, vulnerabilities, and passions with fervor and poise. Her soothing Irish lilt is enjoyable and will have listeners hanging on every word as they discover how the titular "incident" will forever transform the main characters' lives.
