It’s fate when a man accidentally drops his phone off the bridge. It’s fortune when it’s retrieved by a friendly shape sloshing in the muck underneath. From that day forward, as they share a coffee every morning, an unlikely friendship blooms. Considering the reality for the man above, where life seems perfect, and that of the sharp-witted creature below, how forever after can a happy ending be?

Beth and Jennifer know their company monitors their office email. But the women still spend all day sending each other messages, gossiping about their coworkers at the newspaper and baring their personal lives like an open book. Jennifer tells Beth everything she can't seem to tell her husband about her anxieties over starting a family. And Beth tells Jennifer everything, period. When Lincoln applied to be an internet security officer, he hardly imagined he'd be sifting through other people's inboxes like some sort of electronic Peeping Tom.

But Reagan doesn’t want her grandpa to be alone for Christmas this year - he’s already spent too much time on his own in 2020. So she heads back to her hometown with a dish of holiday Jell-O salad, hoping they can have a little normalcy. Hoping it will be safe...

Worn out after decades of packing steel and raising hell, Viv, the orc barbarian, cashes out of the warrior’s life with one final score. A forgotten legend, a fabled artifact, and an unreasonable amount of hope lead her to the streets of Thune, where she plans to open the first coffee shop the city has ever seen. However, her dreams of a fresh start filling mugs instead of swinging swords are hardly a sure bet. Old frenemies and Thune’s shady underbelly may just upset her plans. To finally build something that will last, Viv will need some new partners, and a different kind of resolve.

Welcome to the hilarious, strange, elegiac, outrageous world of David Sedaris. In Naked, Sedaris turns the current mania for the memoir on its proverbial ear, mining the exceedingly rich terrain of his life, his family, and his unique worldview, a sensibility at once take-no-prisoners sharp and deeply charitable.

Izumi Tanaka has never really felt like she fit in - it isn’t easy being Japanese American in her small, mostly White, northern California town. Raised by a single mother, it’s always been Izumi - or Izzy, because “it’s easier this way” - and her mom against the world. But then Izumi discovers a clue to her previously unknown father’s identity...and he’s none other than the Crown Prince of Japan. Which means outspoken, irreverent Izzy is literally a princess.

What's right is right. Sonya Kantor knows this slogan—she lived by it for most of her life. For decades, everyone in the Seattle-Portland megalopolis lived under it, as well as constant surveillance in the form of the Insight, an ocular implant that tracked every word and every action, rewarding or punishing by a rigid moral code set forth by the Delegation. Then there was a revolution. The Delegation fell. Its most valuable members were locked in the Aperture, a prison on the outskirts of the city. And everyone else, now free from monitoring, went on with their lives.

Reseñas de la Crítica
“Don't look for happy endings in these five fairytale-themed stories. Instead they offer thoughtful contemporary impressions of classic works. In The Prince and the Troll, narrator Rebecca Lowman's lilting voice and endearing laugh are captivating - as the prince discovers. Kimberly Woods is authentic in Hazel and Gray, a frightening cautionary tale based on "Hansel and Gretel."… The large cast of The Princess Game delivers a murder mystery that unfolds via police interviews. It's anxious, desperate, and edge-of-your-seat creepy. Kate Rudd narrates The Cleaners with an eerie detachment that fits it.… Frankie Corzo delivers The Wickeds, a story of wicked stepmothers.” (AudioFile Magazine)

Some of the stories were interesting, even compelling, while others were completely skippable. The rating is overall because there's quite a range to the individual tales.

NOPE!
DNF at like the 3rd story
I mean I dont know where to start!
Like I feel bad wasting my audible credit on it and I didn't like it! "Sorry to say that" Like the synopsis of each story was interesting but then when u head to the first story and they keep n taking about Starbuck drink constantly I mean come on and give me a break! And then heading to the 2nd story it gave me the ick and how the step father was acting and her mom and with the cottage and finally with the 3rd story about murdered teenage girls I had to stop there cause I just got tired of the writing style of each story and the way it was narrated and it just bored me.
