Resumen del Editor
Daphne Maritch doesn't quite know what to make of the heavily annotated high school yearbook she inherits from her mother, who held this relic dear. Too dear. The late June Winter Maritch was the teacher to whom the class of '68 had dedicated its yearbook, and in turn she went on to attend every reunion, scribbling notes and observations after each one - not always charitably - and noting who overstepped boundaries of many kinds.
In a fit of decluttering (the yearbook did not, Daphne concluded, "spark joy"), she discards it when she moves to a small New York City apartment. But when it's found in the recycling bin by a busybody neighbor/documentary filmmaker, the yearbook's mysteries - not to mention her own family's - take on a whole new urgency, and Daphne finds herself entangled in a series of events both poignant and absurd.

Historia
Jane Morgan is a valued member of her law firm—or was, until a prudish neighbor, binoculars poised, observes her having sex on the roof of her NYC apartment building. Police are summoned, and a punishing judge sentences her to six months of home confinement. With Jane now jobless and rootless, trapped at home, life looks bleak. Yes, her twin sister provides support and advice, but mostly of the unwelcome kind.

Historia
Elinor Lipman has populated her fictional universe with characters so utterly real that we feel like they're old friends. Now she shares an even more intimate world with us - her own - in essays that offer a candid, charming take on modern life. Looking back and forging ahead, she considers the subjects that matter most: childhood and condiments, long marriage and solo living, career and politics. Here you'll find the lighthearted: a celebration of four decades of All My Children, a reflection on being Jewish in heavily Irish-Catholic Lowell on St. Patrick's Day, a hilariously unflinching account of her tiptoe into online dating.

Sally Milz is a sketch writer for The Night Owls, a late-night live comedy show that airs every Saturday. With a couple of heartbreaks under her belt, she’s long abandoned the search for love, settling instead for the occasional hook-up, career success, and a close relationship with her stepfather to round out a satisfying life. But when Sally’s friend and fellow writer Danny Horst begins dating Annabel, a glamorous actress who guest-hosted the show, he joins the not-so-exclusive group of talented but average-looking and even dorky men at the show.

Suppose your life sucks. A lot. Your husband has done a vanishing act, your teenage stepson is being bullied, and your math-whiz daughter has a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that you can't afford to pay for. That's Jess' life in a nutshell - until an unexpected knight-in-shining-armor offers to rescue them. Only Jess' knight turns out to be Geeky Ed, the obnoxious tech millionaire whose vacation home she happens to clean. But Ed has big problems of his own, and driving the dysfunctional family to the Math Olympiad feels like his first unselfish act in ages...maybe ever.

A sophisticated, pause-resisting double love story spanning 40 years-an unforgettable Brief Encounter for our times. It is 1960. When Jennifer Stirling wakes up in the hospital, she can remember nothing-not the tragic car accident that put her there, not her husband, not even who she is. She feels like a stranger in her own life until she stumbles upon an impassioned letter, signed simply "B", asking her to leave her husband. Years later, in 2003, a journalist named Ellie discovers the same enigmatic letter in a forgotten file in her newspaper's archives.

Who you want people to be makes you blind to who they really are. It’s been a year since Billie Flanagan — a Berkeley mom with an enviable life — went on a solo hike in Desolation Wilderness and vanished from the trail. Her body was never found, just a shattered cellphone and a solitary hiking boot. Her husband and teenage daughter have been coping with Billie’s death the best they can: Jonathan drinks as he works on a loving memoir about his marriage; Olive grows remote, from both her father and her friends at the all-girls school she attends.

Reseñas de la Crítica
"Narrator Mia Barron's light, airy delivery fits this contemporary rom-com about a young woman starting over in New York City.... Using a variety of accents and registers, Barron gives the characters distinct voices and cadences, rounding out their personalities and adding spark to this lighthearted story." (AudioFile)
Editor's Pick
One person's trash
"I know more than a few book hoarders who are outright hostile toward the decluttering trend that they perceive as a threat to their shelves, and their souls. These are good people, and while I'm not sure their fears are justified, I can empathize. So when I heard that Good Riddance kicks off with a regret-inducing act of tiding that separates Daphne Maritch from the 1968 high school year book her deceased mother willed to her, I was immediately intrigued. As it turns out, this story does nothing to resolve that debate, but it does a whole lot to entertain! It's simply a delightfully fun listen, and narrator Mia Barron sparks a whole lot of joy, no matter what your shelves look like." —Tricia F., Audible Editor

Historia
Anne Corey is about to get schooled. An English professor in California, she's determined to score a position on the coveted tenure track at her college. All she's got to do is get a book deal, snag a promotion, and boom! She's in. But then Adam Martinez - her first love and ex-fiancé - shows up as the college's new president. Funny, smart, and full of heart, this modern ode to Jane Austen's classic Persuasion explores what happens when we run into the demons of our past...and when they turn out not to be so bad, after all.

That was before she left the pop-idol life behind after she gained a dress size or two - and lost a boyfriend, a recording contract, and her life savings (when Mom took the money and ran off to Argentina). Now that the glamour and glory days of endless mall appearances are in the past, Heather's perfectly happy with her new size 12 shape (the average for the American woman!) and her new job as an assistant dorm director at one of New York's top colleges.

A wonderfully engaging book
One of the easiest listening book I have had in months. No slow spots, the story moves along and captivates you. The narrator is terrific.

Not what I expected
The narrator is excellent but the story isn’t what I expected. Even if I’m to believe the epilogue it not that either. Not to give away the ending but the book doesn’t live up to the title.

good story and great narration
good book! I thought narrator did great job with the various characters. She didn’t “impersonate” a mans voice but the characters came alive and were clearly differentiated through this talented narrator! fantastic.

Elinor Lipman is always entertaining.
This book was very enjoyable. It was not as laugh out loud funny as her early works but it was entertaining all the same.

Cute enjoyable
Cute, enjoyable read - it’s my first Audible Escape borrow I’ve finished. I liked that the romance was a more subplot rather than the main plot; it subtly unfolds alongside the main plot, which made the entire book much more relatable. The characters are lovely & feel real enough to root for - even the “bad guys,” which I really appreciate since real life has so much grey in it when it comes to bad/good & most books don’t show that nuance enough. Definitely a worthwhile read!

it was a struggle.
I struggled to finish this book. The story dragged on, and rarely did I find myself sympathizing with the narrator, as many of her situations were completely preventable by common sense. the love story almost felt forced. As well as the unrealistic life she led living in New York on alimony. Granted it wasn't lavish by any means, but I just didn't find it believable. There were some humorous parts, but majority of the book I found that I spaced out, but didn't have a need to go back as I didn't miss much.

Where was the Climax?
I guess I missed it. It seems to me that the big reveal happened early in the book and then everything was just kind of blah after that. There wasn’t really much build up for the ending.
