THE LOVE CURSE OF MELODY MCINTYRE

Narrator Jennifer Jill Araya infuses her voice with all the passion and unpredictability of musical theater in this charming audiobook about the magic of the stage. Melody McIntyre lives and breathes theater; there's nothing she takes more seriously than her stage manager job. So when the crew decides that her love life is to blame for the curse that causes productions to go wrong, she agrees not to date during the spring musical. The only problem: She accidentally falls in love. Araya's narration is agile and buoyant. Her quick pacing, dramatic groans, emotional monologues, and exclamations of wonder make listeners feel as though they're right there with Melody as she navigates first love, backstage crises, and the challenges of building something bigger than herself.
