HOW TO BE FAMOUS

Upbeat, spunky, and ambitious, Dolly Wilde is living her best life--that is until her best friend makes it big as a rock star. Narrator Louise Brealey maximizes the hilarity of Dolly's interior monologues. She brings freshness to a delivery that captures the throes of the teenage angst gripping Dolly as she struggles to find meaning in life. Brealey's performance is fast, precise, and full of British accents, from Dolly's proper one to the other characters' slang, which provide a cross section of British society that adds color to the listening experience. Will Dolly become as famous as her best friend? Listeners will be hoping the answer is yes. M.R. © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine [Published: AUGUST 2018]
