Lakin’s distinct character voices make this an entertaining listen.
Narrator Christine Lakin brings this heartfelt and hilarious tech-world romance to life. Annie is on top of the world, working at her dream job in New York City, until she gets fired. When Annie finds an opening with the data strategy team at the same company, she is determined to make it work even if she’s never coded anything before. Connor, the department head, is unconvinced, but that soon changes. Lakin’s expressive, nuanced performance captures Annie’s vibrant and ambitious persona as she navigates her new position. Connor Crais and Alex C. Stewart add their voices to the bonus epilogue, giving listeners a glimpse of Connor and his friend, Ben.

In this sequel to Terms of Endearment, Larry McMurtry brings back Aurora Greenway, who is now dealing with her various lovers and friends plus three grown grandchildren with a variety of problems. He presents a tale of growing up and growing old which is bittersweet and funny. Narrator Ivey uses a slight east Texas accent which authenticates the setting of the story. Each character's voice has a slightly different inflection to differentiate it. It all works together well. As you listen, you feel as if you might actually be in Houston sharing the lives of these resilient and refreshing people.

To Fred Fairly, a Cambridge Fellow, truth is everything. What then is the truth about the woman he finds beside him when he awakens? English conventions and mores of 1912 Cambridge are central to this period piece. Callow's wonderful voice and interpretation make accents, personalities and gender come alive, and help make sense of the frequent time and character shifts. His delivery enhances a most clever "choose your own ending."
