So when one November morning a chatty young couple with two chatty young daughters move in next door and accidentally flatten Ove’s mailbox, it is the lead-in to a comical and heartwarming tale of unkempt cats, unexpected friendship, and the ancient art of backing up a U-Haul.

Beloved author Elizabeth Gilbert returns to fiction with a unique love story set in the New York City theater world during the 1940s. Told from the perspective of an older woman as she looks back on her youth with both pleasure and regret (but mostly pleasure), City of Girls explores themes of female sexuality and promiscuity, as well as the idiosyncrasies of true love. In 1940, nineteen-year-old Vivian Morris has just been kicked out of Vassar College, owing to her lackluster freshman-year performance.

Lucas knows the perfect night entails just three things: video games, wine, and pad thai. Peanuts are a must! Other people? Not so much. Why complicate things when he’s happy alone? Then one day the apartment board, a vexing trio of authority, rings his doorbell. And Lucas’s solitude takes a startling hike. They demand to see his frying pan. Someone left one next to the recycling room overnight, and instead of removing the errant object, as Lucas suggests, they insist on finding the guilty party. But their plan backfires. Colossally.

Who is Audrey Hoedemaker? It's a question her sister Maureen has heard more times than she can count, and she doesn't know what the short answer would be. Little sister, troubled teen, backpacker, musical theatre coach, con artist, childcare worker. Murderer. A tragic, traumatic childhood casts a long shadow on the Hoedemaker sisters. Maureen has worked hard to move beyond the violence of the past and build a good, honest life for herself. Audrey, however, just can't seem to do the same, careening from one state of chaos to another.

The 13 chapters of The Art of War, each devoted to one aspect of warfare, were compiled by the high-ranking Chinese military general, strategist, and philosopher Sun-Tzu. In spite of its battlefield specificity, The Art of War has found new life in the modern age, with leaders in fields as wide and far-reaching as world politics, human psychology, and corporate strategy finding valuable insight in its timeworn words.

In fifth grade my teacher set us up with pen pals from a different school. Thinking I was a girl, with a name like Misha, the other teacher paired me up with her student Ryen. My teacher, believing Ryen was a boy like me, agreed. It didn't take long for us to figure out the mistake. And in no time at all, we were arguing about everything. The best take-out pizza. Android vs. iPhone. Whether or not Eminem is the greatest rapper ever. For the next seven years, it was us. She's the only one who keeps me on track, talks me down, and accepts everything I am.

Great work
This audible original play written by Chisa Hutchison is powerfully crafted. It’s a great artistic piece.
Now, on to the story. The first half of this made me laugh so hard and snap my fingers in “wooo, yesss” resonance. I loved that first half. The wife was aware, snazzy, strong, and full of esteem.
The second half falls into the typical Black woman model of self-recrimination, blanket forgiveness, self doubt, and acceptance. I did not enjoy seeing the wife take responsibility for her husband and his issues and her daughter and her issues. Can we stop being miles?! Can Black authors stop romanticising poverty, the ghetto, poor speech, and philandering Black men? There isn’t growth in doing so. The self-flagellation is a complete turn off.
The wife’s mistake was trying to raise someone up. I wish she’d realised that. She married someone who wasn’t a fit. What transpired was just the manifestation of such.
I have much more to say, but I’ll still accord that stars for the artistry that is this audible and for the first, hilarious half of this one-woman play.
Also, the narrator, Brenda Pressely, is amazing!

So real!!
The exploration in the demographics of black people was so thorough in such a short story. This book was so real. It kind of left me on edge wondering how she would respond to the mistress. I loved the book.

Powerful and Moving
"There is no love, only proof of love."
Proof of Love is a quick listen monologue, only 1 hour and 6 minutes in length. I wasn't sure what I was going to get with this audiobook but decided to check it out anyway. I think it was a free Audible Original from a couple months ago. Anyway, once I started listening, I was captivated.
This was a powerful and moving piece about a woman who finds out her husband has been cheating on her the night he is in a terrible car accident. His phone keeps blowing up with messages as she is in the hospital with him and it ends up being his mistress that is messaging him. Her monologue goes on to explore their life together and life in general. There are some profound realizations and even some twists.
I think this is definitely worth the listen if you have the opportunity. The narrator is fantastic. She did a wonderful job acting this out. Her voices were great and her emotion perfect. I loved her performance.
The only thing that I wish was different is that I wish we could have heard more about what happens next. Even with such a short time spent listening, I felt very invested in these characters and what was happening. Overall, I am rating this as 4.5 stars.

Much Better Than Expected
Since this is a "freebie " of the month, I wasn't expecting too much. I was however, pleasantly surprised! GREAT narration and storyline. Glad I chose this story. Only complaint, I wish it was longer !!!
