“Narrator Lauren Fortgang’s wide range of voices perfectly portrays the formidable protagonist of this delightful story… Fortgang brings out the humor in Kelly’s frazzled relationship with her micromanaging, relationship-focused mother—but also the tenderness, as Kelly discovers another side of the woman who loves her. Perfect modulation for Ethan’s sensitive yet robot-like voice effectively captures the paradoxes of his compassion and insight as he teaches Kelly about love…Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.”
