Suffer!

De: A.C. Sloan

Narrado por: Chelsea Kwoka

When a group of superfans compete to meet their Hollywood idol, things go way off script.

Theodosia and her bestie, Sam, are former high school outcasts who find escapism in a popular TV show called Suffer about a victims’ rights advocate named Marcia Suffer.

When the TV network that owns Suffer announces a contest—the chance to meet the show’s star, actress Roxy DeVine—Theo and Sam pull out all the stops to win. These days, Theo needs a win—any win—because lately life has been dealing her nothing but suffering. After all, the girl’s got a lot on her plate: attending college, working part-time gigs to survive, and acting as caretaker to both her younger sister and an aging aunt. A little Hollywood magic is just what she needs.

As much as Theo and Sam adore Roxy DeVine, the rest of Hollywood despises the diva actress. In fact, rumors swirl that Roxy’s career is on the chopping block. When Roxy DeVine goes missing after the show’s season finale, it’s anyone’s guess what happened to her! Superfans Theo and Sam know more than they’re letting on.

Take a painfully funny peek behind the curtain of Hollywood stardom and fandom and find out today: Where in the world is Roxy DeVine?

Reseñas de la Crítica

"One of the best representations of an autistic person I’ve ever seen in media. The audiobook is narrated by Chelsea Kwoka. She does a wonderful job capturing all of the characters." (Audiofile)

Amazing freshman outing from the author!

Such a fun and well written story. I loved the overall message of anti-bullying and how it comes across in multiple ways through out the book. Chelsea did an amazing job on the narration and each character was easy to pick out just be the voice she was using. I really hope that A.C. Sloan writes more because I have enjoyed her work for ages, if you enjoy this book you should also check out The Carlötta Beautox Chronicles which is an amazing podcast also by Sloan.

A Wonderful Romantic Dram-Com!

This book was the perfect escape from the craziness of the world today. I'm calling it a Romantic DramCom rather than a Dramatic RomCom mainly because there is no physical love relationship in the novel. Instead, the author writes with a literary Romanticism.

The story centers around a young woman, Theo, who enters a competition with her friends and wins the chance to meet favorite soap-opera star, Roxy Devine. Roxy is a bit of a narcissistic diva who begrudgingly agrees to this social media driven promotion and when she enters the modest home of Theo, the unexpected adventure begins. A.C. Sloan acquaints you with these likeable protagonists along with quirky antagonists which creates an unpredictable story filled with implausible and hilarious plots that resolve with surprising twists.

It's the kind of book you want to read curled up by the fire with your favorite beverage or equally satisfying as an audible choice. I listened to both the Audible version and read parts of the book. The narrator, Chelsea Kwoka, is great. She captures the persona of each character and tells the story with nuance.

If you're looking for a fun escape, this is one way to get away.
