WILD THINGS

Abigail Hardiman's skill with voices is showcased in this queer contemporary romance audiobook. El's New Year's resolution is to try one wild thing a month. When her three closest friends purchase a fixer-upper in the country to make a (mostly) queer commune, she decides to join the venture, which ultimately has her spending more time with her best friend and crush, Ray. Narrating from El's perspective, Hardiman fully captures her personality. Hardiman's ability to portray each character's unique traits--including their place of origin--keeps listeners engaged. By appropriately emphasizing the characters' different accents, she gives each one a distinctive voice. Hardiman's performance will delight listeners and maybe inspire them to try something wild.
