NYC, 2013. During late night trips on the A train, we get snapshots of Tyrone's life - his close relationship with his mother, his attempts to flirt with a coworker, Niesha, his job as a bouncer, and his dreams of going back to school. As new traumas accumulate, Tyrone's world becomes as claustrophobic as the subway car, with as few opportunities to exit or change course.

Story
A down-to-earth global pop star. A deeply spiritual, cerebral powerhouse. A famously outspoken introvert. For her millions of fans, and the few unacquainted, defining rock luminary Alanis Morissette is an exercise in dichotomies and nuance. And though her most formidable traits are seemingly at odds with one another, they are, oddly enough, completely emblematic of all of us: complex, conflicting, and, most importantly, ever evolving. With her striking command of language and profound emotional fluency, the 46-year-old covers an enormous amount of personal ground with listeners.

Story
It's winter in the Catskills and Mitchell's Inn, nestled deep in the woods, is the perfect setting for a relaxing - maybe even romantic - weekend away. So when the weather takes a turn for the worse, and a blizzard cuts off the electricity - and all contact with the outside world - the guests settle in and try to make the best of it. Soon, though, one of the guests turns up dead - it looks like an accident. But when a second guest dies, they start to panic. Within the snowed-in paradise, something - or someone - is picking off the guests one by one.

Texas, 1921. A time of abundance. The Great War is over, the bounty of the land is plentiful, and America is on the brink of a new and optimistic era. But for Elsa Wolcott, deemed too old to marry in a time when marriage is a woman’s only option, the future seems bleak. Until the night she meets Rafe Martinelli and decides to change the direction of her life. With her reputation in ruin, there is only one respectable choice: marriage to a man she barely knows.

Not sure if this is as great as people think..
If this book was any longer than it was, I wouldn’t have finished. Great performances, but the dialogue was so abrasive I almost turned it off.
Also it’s got lots of details on how to commit suicide... doesn’t sit well with me knowing that there are people who might have gained harmful information from the book. Overall, would NOT recommend.

Original idea
Didn’t like Jessica’s narration in beginning. Too stilted. We don’t realize she is dictating while she is writing. I get used to it when she does it later Writer should have explained scene better
The story jumps around too much
The Professor should have realized the student was beginning schizophrenia and checked up on his actions sooner and gotten him help but she is too self involved. Story is not for the mentally disturbed The writer must take more responsibility for his book’s consequences
In the epilogue This is a tragedy not a drama

Unexpected, Thought-provoking, and Infinitely Personalizable
I had no idea what to expect and was intrigued by the idea of insight into a professional singleton.
The performance is engrossing and the characters both real and gauzy.
A delightful distraction that will have you reflecting and thinking for some time.

I grabbed this as a distraction, thinking it could fill the silence this afternoon. I found myself connected and fully engaged. The dialog is amazing, performance by both actors provide layers of nuance beyond the words. So good.

A grim little tale
I started listening to this book because of the rave reviews from other listeners. I really don’t know what they saw in this story. It is well performed but the characters are so unlikable and their lives so lost. I kept listening hoping for some redemption but I hoped in vain!

Haunting & unexpected
This story is an unexpected journey. I did not expect to have so much woven into it based on the length. I’m not sure if I devoured the story or if it devoured me. Since this was my first Adam Rapp piece, I can’t wait to discover the others.
