MY EX-LIFE

Narrator George Newbern eloquently embodies the voice of a man at a midlife crossroads. In McCauley's entertaining audiobook, David and Julie reconnect years after their short marriage ended following a miscarriage and David's discovery of being gay. Julie is now going through another divorce, and her estranged husband is planning to sell their New England home despite Julie's reliance on the property for income as a bed-and-breakfast. David and Julie reconnect over Julie's daughter, Mandy, who needs assistance preparing college applications. Newbern's tone is skillfully timed for subtle humor and thoughtful wisdom. He hits just the right notes as multiple characters face major decisions in their lives. S.P.C. © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine [Published: JUNE 2018]
