I'm not 100% sure where I think this story lands within the precedent set by the others, though, because of the big negative: the narrator. She started out strong, but by halfway through the book seemed like she was phoning it in with no attention given to the meanings of the things she was reading. Every sentence, had the same, intonation structure with, entirely too many extra, auditory commas, and a question-lift, at the end? I had to pause frequently to mentally rewind what I'd just heard, visualize it as printed text, and reimagine it with the appropriate tone and emphases.
That said, the use of the "cameo" narrator is absolutely brilliant.
