The story was wonderfully written. I enjoyed the performance from the voice actors that brought the stories and characters to life

I was surprised at how closely I felt I knew Sybil through the style of writing….in letters and emails. The style was a first for me and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I almost never read a book more than once and though I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this one, it actually did make me want to get a physical copy and read it again.

The narration is some of the best telling a breathtakingly beautiful story. Such a creative way to tell this story.
