Carol Schneider performs the many voices in this comic novel with a sure sense of its humor and pathos. She does accents well, shifts smoothly among the many characters, and gives a distinct tone and tempo to the three leads: children's author Frances Partridge, whose "snap" occurs at a middle school; auto mechanic Geraint Blevins, who reacts creatively to his unctuous boss having bedded his wife; and the youthful Parker Poplawski, who responds angrily to a TV star's obscene advances. The three meet and bond at an anger management class, and their comic adventures fuel the plot. A popular Canadian children's author with a number of TV credits, Nielsen knows of what she writes. This is a fine audiobook and an impressive debut in adult fiction. A.D.M. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: JUNE 2025]
