I picked up this e-book because I found out that one of the audiobook narrators that I really enjoy wrote a novel.  I enjoyed this book a lot.  I thought that Nick and Sewanee's story and how they interacted was interesting, because it highlights that the world can be infinite and yet also intimately close. The tale tells the side of an actress turned voice actor/audiobook narrator after an accident who is at the top of her game, but is also at the same time mired down in a rut.

I appreciated the sensitivity and portrayal of vulnerability in a middle aged main character who is nowhere near ready for being put out for pasture, but is dealing with the changes that have been handed to her, with if not grace, at least ownership.

Recommend for those who like contemporary stories about books and the book world. 
4 out of 5 stars, and there's some decent spice (2 out of 5).
