Many thanks to NetGalley and Harper Audio | Ecco for gifting me an audio ARC of this wonderful book by Claire Oshetsky, narrated by Kimberly Farr. All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 4.5 stars rounded up!
It’s 1974 in San Francisco and 19-year-old Celia Dent phone company employee keeps telling herself how lucky she is to be married to Drew, a man who says he loves her. But Celia’s contentment with her little life is shattered when a woman she knows is murdered in a love tryst gone awry. Celia wonders just what that would be like to feel so passionately. Soon, her thoughts become darker.
This was a new-to-me author and I just loved this book - genius indeed! I'm sure it says something about my personality, but I just love dark, sharp humor in a book. Plus, this one was so nostalgic, taking the reader back in time when working for the phone company was considered a lifetime job. And not cellphone companies back then to be sure! It was a different time for women specifically, and we see Celia growing in her desires for a better life. Celia is such a great character and I loved to see her grow and change. The narration was fabulous - wildly entertaining!
