Just reading this one? It is fresh, funny, and fast. Each episode can be savored individually or you can binge read/listen (lucky me to have the AUDIO copy!). But I recommend starting at the beginning so you can enjoy ALL the snarky goodness and humor. Please, ma’am, might there be MORE? Oh, lest I forget–the..
Review from Cinderella →
This was a really cute story and not quite what I was expecting. I loved Angie’s accent and how she kept it through the entire narration with changes for different characters. Her voice was just perfect for the shyly sweet Cindee. I loved the charm and ease of Henry and just the overall wonderful feelings..
Review from The Roche Hotel: Season Two →
I started listening [AUDIO] with Season One but was gratified when the first episode did a lovely introduction making this group of stories (think season two of your favorite sitcom but without the commercials) stand alone. Expertly narrated by Angie Hickman who immerses you in the stories with excellent characterizations, you can listen to/read one..
My sister worked her way through college as a night clerk at a motel and used to tell me some very funny stories; these easily top them. Set up like a series of half hour TV sitcom skits (without the 20 minutes of commercials sprinkled through), each episode is delightful, building on but not generally..

I’ve never read/listened to Elise Sax before but if this is the quality of her work, I’ll definitely be listening/reading to more.At first I thought the narrator sounded like a teenager but she did fit Marie, she transitioned into the other characters wonderfully as well. She really brought the..
Velma and Louie may be in their 70s, but they have no intention of letting their kids separate them. When the retirement home they met in goes bankrupt, their kids decide to move them to different states. Velma is going to live with her son Farvis and his bible thumping wife, and Louie is going..
K. M. Morgan’s short stories with Daisy McDare (cute name) remind me of Janet Evanovich and her Stephanie Plum series. Both are cute, cool, quirky, fun with a bit of klutzyiness and tons of smarts. Angie Hickman is able to portray Daisy, as well as her friends and foes with ‘believability’ that is second to..
Cinderella: a real-life fairytale Though this was a bit cheesy (in the names and situations) I really enjoyed this short story of a classic book with a modern flair. Jamie Brook Thompson crafts a real-life romance, truly remarkable. Hickman is a wonderful storyteller. She was one of the first audio performers that I had listened..

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Overall I would recommend this to anyone. Did Angie Hickman do a good job differentiating all the characters? How? The narrator did a good job with the different characters. I did have an issue with her voice, and her portrayal of the heroine. “Minni”…

A short, quirky, story that I believe is part of a longer story. I was entertained.This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review
