A brand-new comedy starring Taraji P. Henson and Tracee Ellis Ross.

Separated by 10 years, 3,000 miles, and the unrelenting stresses of adulthood, best friends Janet and Serena plan a 40th birthday girls’ trip to reconnect. But after a massive crash, they’re the only survivors to wash ashore on an uncharted Caribbean Island.

Armed with only the clothes on their backs and zero survival skills, they fight to overcome hunger, thirst, deadly wildlife—and most terrifyingly—decades of accrued resentment. Can they find their way home, or will they kill each other first?

Stranded is a comedy about survival, friendship, and surviving your friendship, with an all-star cast including Taraji P. Henson, Tracee Ellis Ross, Blake Griffin, Whoopi Goldberg, Taye Diggs, Zazie Beetz, Nicole Byer, Tim Robinson, Keith David, Mikey Day, Ashley Nicole Black, Larry Wilmore, and Phylicia Rashad.

Please note: This show is for mature audiences only. It contains explicit language, sexual references, and adult themes. Discretion is advised.

I typically have a hard time listening to books without reading along but this kept my attention! IDK if it's because I know the readers or what but I was able to see the entire book play out! I would LOVE to see this as a movie with no adjustments to how this was read! And with the same people! Of course Mikey Day is taller than his character but I'm sure it'll all work out lol! And the ending after the credits was the cherry on top!

Great Listen and Good Laughs

I got this book because it look like a short story that I can listen to in the car. Both of the main characters was extremely funny... The mount of chaos that goes on in this book I must say is at least a 9.9 On the richter scale. The 2 characters made me think about my long-term bestfriend how we would have fared in that situation. Ms. Taraji and Ms. Tracee did a great job with and outstanding cast. More books please.
