99 Problems

The Olivia Chronicles, Book 1

De: Leslie Quigless

Narrado por: Leslie Quigless

Olivia Highstone’s world crumbles pretty much overnight when she finds out that Justin, the on-again, off-again love of her life, is engaged—to someone else, just to be clear—and when she learns she’s been passed over (again) for partnership at her prestigious Atlanta law firm. She’ll find little succor within her family, an ongoing shit show starring her weedhead slacker genius brother, her overachieving surgeon sister, her wannabe reality star other sister, her scoundrel father fresh outta prison yet again, and her diamonds-dripping, theatrically inclined mother who believes third husbands and beyond are solely securing one’s future. Can Liv get her career back on track, get over (or win back?) Justin, keep her zany family in line...and stay sane? Maybe. If there’s some Rosé on deck, then probably definitely.

A Must Listen

99 Problems is such a joyful listen. Olivia's adventures are all so familiar yet absolutely unpredicatble. In fact, all the characters are full and the author magically brings them each to life with authenticity. The writing is so sharp that there were many times I both literally laughed out loud as well as shed a few tears. I also appreciated the author's unapologetic approach showcasing the broad spectrum of the black experience. From ratchet to refined, I found myself cheering on Olivia with her personal and professional "99 Problems." I cannot wait for Book 2.

The characters are flawed, funny, and fabulous!

Leslie Quigless’s 99 Problems is a masterful blend of humor, irreverence, and cultural insight that pulls you in from the very first page. The story is refreshingly sharp without ever feeling like it’s trying too hard, delivering a narrative that feels both authentic and effortless. Quigless strikes the perfect balance between hilarity and heart, offering dynamic, deeply lovable characters whose flaws only make them more relatable.

The wit and cultural nuances woven throughout the story make it feel vibrantly alive, as though the characters are people you know—or wish you did. Each page hums with energy, keeping you engaged and eagerly hanging on to hear what happens next. I found myself laughing out loud one moment and reflecting on life’s messy beauty the next.

I can’t wait to dive into the next installment of The Olivia Chronicles and see where these characters take us next. Quigless has delivered a gem that’s as entertaining as it is memorable. Highly recommend!

I couldn’t stop listening!

This story is hilarious, dramatic and entertaining. The performance by the writer is hilarious. She manages to seamlessly create a unique voice for each character. The use of music is so relatable, and I love the protagonist’s long streams of consciousness that we’re privy to. I couldn’t stop listening, and I can’t wait to listen to the next one!
