I enjoyed the audio book (read by the author). She really gave life to this character. That being said, I'm not sure if I would have enjoyed reading a hard copy as much. 4⭐️

I'm finding it very difficult to read since my mom passed away several weeks ago but I seem to be able to digest books in audio format. It is what it is

I'm Instagram friends w/someone from Hounslow & she recommended. Thanks to her pics & my memories of driving through on the way to Kew Gardens (it caught my attention because of Bend It Like Beckham) I could picture scene in my mind. Short but powerful listen.
Also heroine wants to come to US and drive Rt 66. Living near it here in Oklahoma I forget it's a thing. 🚗

marleed Haha. Route 66 was literally the street my in-laws lived on in Bourbon Mo. I would try to point out how cool that was to my kids. They didn‘t get at. When my son was 19 at at a family reunion (2 twins living next door to each other on Route 66 with a massive shared lawn), an artsy Parisian boyfriend of a cousin could not stop taking pics of the road and the Route 66 signs. ...That‘s what it took for my son to get it! 4y
Crinoline_Laphroaig @marleed What a great story! 😆 4y

I really thoroughly enjoyed listening to this one woman #play written and performed by Ambreen Razia. Tackling big themes like coming of age, young love, being a child of an immigrant, etc. there was so much in here to hold your breath about. I loved the author interview at the end. My first play I've listened to and I was impressed! The only complaint was it was tough to hear at certain points.

I listened to this on my commute over the last couple of days, and finished it today. I really enjoyed the entire thing, but particularly the interview with the author at the end of the #audiobook. The theatrical bent of these short #AudibleOriginals (After Anatevka Live with Alexandra Silber, Girls and Boys read by Carey Mulligan) is just the thing for this theatre kid. #readmoreplays #currentlylistening

This play tackles many issues & gives voice to individuals long silenced. For this, I appreciated the work; however (and perhaps this is part of the genius that I under appreciated), the protagonist is scattered & frantic & managing many adult scenarios in 90 minutes, which is exhausting. The playwright beautifully captures the voice of a 16yo but it‘s exhausting to listen to & I had to split up the audio in order to capture the bigger picture.

Time for one of the free Audible originals for December.

AmCheri If it had been longer, I would have bailed. I think I might be too old to appreciate a rage-filled 16 year-Old young woman with a large sense of entitlement. The snippets of culture that snuck in we‘re good though. 5y

This was interesting. The audio production wasn‘t awesome but the story was interesting. It‘s a play so I think that‘s important to keep in mind. It‘s a look at one girl‘s story growing up how and where she is and how that impacts her decisions and thought processes. #readwomen #diversereads
