“The character actor frames her personal narrativeas a series of barely connected ramblings told directly to you, herseatmate/captive audience, on a plane ride. The conceit works fine in print,but in audio, with Posey confidently pouring her story straight into your ears,you become the trapped seatmate. That her anecdotes are funny andgood-naturedly self-aware helps, of course, but it’s the charmingly odddelivery that makes this audiobook such a gem.”
