About this listen

It's Greg's birthday. His 30th birthday - the birthday that will determine the rest of his life. At midnight, there is the chance Greg will simply cease to exist. With that in mind, he has hired Joe, an Ephemera, to accompany him on what might be his last day on earth. What starts as a rented relationship soon becomes more complicated. Is it possible to fall in love in less than 24 hours? Is there a point if one of them might not be alive at midnight? Greg can only be certain of one thing: The clock is ticking.

Turning 30

Turning 30 is hard this story expands on that
Set in the future the read is Captivating. The author has added in bits and pieces of today’s time along with futuristic times just enough.
I enjoyed the Narration, the pause, the sadness and the hopefulness

Beautiful, somber, provoking

I loved Greg. I felt like I knew him. I was annoyed with his bad qualities and charmed by his quirks and quips. I cared about Greg and was genuinely distressed with how his 30th birthday would turn out. There were answers I wanted that I didn’t get, but I guess that’s life. There were other answers that I did get that maybe I didn’t want because I’m conditioned to wanting things to be beautiful and complete. Read this book, you won’t regret it.

An Emotional Masterpiece

I had to pause in middle of listening this. Partly due to travel and partly, I admit, due to my own emotional state. But, this is the kind of book that stays with you on long days even when you're not actively reading it. You think about the characters and the world and worry for them as you go about your day. And I have to say, now that I have finally completed it, it is a truly satisfying work from start to finish. I am so glad that I listened to this book and that it will be part of my brain and experience and worldview from now on.

Sobbing (in a good way)

I absolutely loved this novella! Following someone around on his potentially last day alive, I loved how much emotion and existential dread was packed into a short amount of pages. Loved loved loved.

Amazing listen!

Loved listening to this story - such a unique idea and told in an amazingly intriguing way. The narrator was perfect for this book and I'm looking forward to having it in my library to listen to again!

What a story! What a voice!

Jeremy's voice is very soothing and he can create different characters including a British lady. We would think it's a different voice actor. Nice story by Clinton Waters. 😊👊

Never been so pleased to ponder turning 30

Anyone who is approaching 30, recently turned 30, or has ever had passing fears about being 30+ should give this a listen. This novella artfully uses its futuristic, alternate reality framework to analyze the very real fears of aging, loss, heartbreak, stagnation, and never getting to become the person you want to be. The story is intimate and relatable, funny and heartbreaking, confronting and comforting. I recommend it for anyone who likes stories about what it means to be human--and all the feels that come with that.

Extremely satisfying listen

Although set in a wonderfully unique scifi setting; the story is grounded, the characters are relatable and Clint hits on several topics relevant to both the world he created and ours. Also, that ending (chefs kiss)!

Bland

Didn't really connect with or like the characters at all. The narrator did really well at some points but was bland at other points. Just over all very meh.
