Narrator Christina Delaine offers a unique listening experience in this candid performance. The audiobook is a deep dive into the character of Sally, a lonely woman who shelters herself from the world, love, and social experiences. She's often on the outside looking in and narrates her observations of the people around her. Through her memories of an exciting and free college life, listeners learn how Sally ends up in the jaded lifestyle she's in. But within the depressing and brutally honest monologue, there is beauty in Delaine's delivery. She creates a personal relationship between listeners and Sally as she bitterly recounts her forlorn stories yet cherishes brief glimpses of humanity. This performance is an acquired taste but is heavily rewarding. G.M. © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine [Published: DECEMBER 2022]
