An Audible Original, this was just okay. I thought the performance was excellent, but the audio was a bit off. The background noise was so loud that it was sometimes hard to hear the narrator speak. Additionally, the storyline, coming of age or not, was a bit of the not-good-kinda-creepy and there wasn't nearly enough culture to justify the synopsis offered on the Audible app.

If you've got a solid hour and are bored and like free books, give it a go. Otherwise? I'd pass on this one. (

Yeow. Maybe I'm too old to appreciate this but mostly I wanted to shake her and hug her mother. The sound effects, for the most part, didn't add anything to my listening experience and sometimes took away from it.

If this was longer, I would have quit almost immediately. And if it weren't free, I would have requested a refund.

On the positive, though, I did enjoy the snippets of culture that were slipped in between 16 year-old young woman rage and sense of entitlement. (

Audio is not the right medium for this. The nearly constant background noise was extremely irritating, blotting out the speech at times. I wasn't exactly fond of the heavy breathing of the narrator, either. She actually acted this booklet, which is fine on the stage, because this was written for the stage, but as an audio, it was a complete failure for me. The message is good, and the interview at the end of this audio book was really interesting, but all the rest was meh. (

This well-written & performed work is a treat and provides a glimpse into a culture that is otherwise inaccessible to me. (
