Reviews
Lighthearted with good reader
Harperac
The story is light but funny and it kept my attention throughout. I have to give special thanks to the reader who maintained a great breathy, Marilyn Monroe voice through the whole book, because the voice really contributed to my enjoyment.
the narration is 10/10
Romy Potash
very light and fun, the narration is great, I can really imagine old cinema professional bimbo gossiping it to me. however it is kind of boring and flat, maybe some jokes of the time got lost?
For the girls

This one was for the girls that get it those people saying "can't believe I listened to all of it" are hating from outside the club and can't even get INNNNNNN lol
delightfully unhinged
Travis Gardner
a very fun and easy listen. enjoyable from the introduction to the end. nothing too heavy but a little edge to even out the comedy.
Cute
