IMOGEN, OBVIOUSLY

Caitlin Kinnunen's sweet narration will melt any listener. Imogen is the best straight ally a queer teen could ask for. She's at every Pride rally and alliance meeting, eager to support. When she visits her queer friend Lili at college, she discovers that in high school Lili falsely told friends that she and Imogen had dated, and now Lili needs to hold onto the facade, so Imogen goes along. But after meeting Lili's charming, cute friend Tessa, Imogen begins to question her sexuality. Kinnunen's narration is thoughtful and amiable. She doesn't oversell Lili's quaint personality in serious moments. Kinnunen shapes Imogen's journey of self-discovery, and the fun supporting characters involved, into an unforgettable performance.
