SUBURBIA MADE ME DO IT

Narrator Andrea Emmes takes listeners on a wild ride of grief and misfortune, narrated with twisted humor. Roxy is creating a new rule book to live by. After her sister dies, Roxy discovers that her husband has been unfaithful multiple times, and she files for divorce. Amid her feelings of betrayal, she is pelted with more unfortunate events, and the only saving grace is that she grows closer to her daughter Carol. Narrating in a tone that combines dry humor and sorrow, Emmes's performance captures the struggle of making the best out of an awful situation. Emmes expertly delivers a melancholy tragedy of a scorned woman who is desperately trying to find a brighter side to it all. Listeners will hang on, as Roxy does, hoping for a happy ending. G.M.
