In a smart and funny new novel by the author of the critically acclaimed, “big-hearted, charming” (The Washington Post) Small Admissions, a family’s move to New York City brings surprises and humor as their lives merge with the captivating world of Broadway.
Allison Brinkley - wife, mother, and former unflappable optimist - discovers that a carefully weighed decision to pack up and move her family from suburban Dallas to the glittery chaos of Manhattan may have been more complicated than she and her husband initially thought.
Allison learns that New York is unruly and bewildering, defying the notions she developed from romantic movies and a memorable childhood visit. After a humiliating call from the principal’s office and the loss of the job she was counting on, Allison begins to accept that New York may not suit her after all.
When Allison has a fender bender, witnessed by a flock of mothers at her son’s new school, she is led to the penthouse apartment of a luxurious Central Park West building and encounters a spoiled, hungover, unsupervised teenager who looks familiar. It doesn’t take long to recognize him as Carter Reid - a famous pop star who has been cast in a new Broadway musical. Through this brush with stardom, Allison embraces a unique and unexpected opportunity that helps her find her way in the heart of Manhattan.
In an audiobook that delivers laughs, warmth, and delightful wish fulfillment, Poeppel dives into celebrity culture and modern motherhood with her trademark “quick-witted and razor-sharp” (Taylor Jenkins Reid, author of Maybe in Another Life) style.

I enjoyed all of the supporting characters but grew really tired of the character of Carter and his flaws throughout. It made the journey of the story less enjoyable for me. I hope Amy’s next book has less pretentious and more likeable main characters. Honestly as much as I enjoyed the supporting characters, I was in a hurry for it to end. I listened all the way through hoping for a bigger shift in the arc of the story. I’d already spent my credit and didn’t want it to go to waste.
Great performance! Not a great book

The narrator wasn’t very good. She often confused voices and characters, making it hard to follow along. She would added pauses/stops to sentences where there shouldn’t have been. And the way she read a character made them unlikable, even though they weren’t supposed to be.
Overall, I would read/listen to another Amy Poeppel novel, but I’ll avoid audio books read by the narrator!
Light Story / Meh Narration
