About this listen
“It was a kiss with a future in it: like a ring slipped upon her soul.”
Susy Branch (Tavi Gevinson) and Nick Lansing (Adam DiMarco) aren’t into each other, but they share a similar problem. Susy is a down-on-her-luck socialite who doesn’t want to get a real job, and Nick is a struggling writer who’s tired of tutoring the kids of the one percent. All of their wealthier friends are getting married, to seemingly lucrative results. So, Susy and Nick devise a plan: have a wedding.
First, their elaborate engagement will go viral. Next, they’ll collect gifts and a honeymoon fund, spend a year honeymooning at rich friends’ vacation homes, and use it all as content for Susy’s new influencer persona. Then, after a year or so, they’ll cash out and finally pursue their dreams.
Susy and Nick’s scheme works flawlessly—until they start to develop feelings for each other. By sharing a secret on such a public stage, they come to know each other in ways nobody else can. A romance takes shape. But are they falling in love or simply playing their assigned roles? Where do their performances as a couple end and their real feelings begin? Navigating the transactional worlds of high society and viral stardom, Nick and Susy will have to decide what they value most and if they can trust each other—if they aren’t exposed as frauds first.
Adapted from Edith Wharton’s 1922 gem of the same name, Glimpses of the Moon sharply satirizes the business of marriage and the absurdity of social media to present an inventive vision of modern love.
Starring Tavi Gevinson, Adam DiMarco, J. Smith-Cameron, Chloe Fineman, Cristin Milioti, Gina Gershon, Arturo Castro, Talene Monahon, Ross Marquand, Jordan Carlos, Naomi Fry, Jia Tolentino and Aminatou Sow ...

"Just three dates. That's all I'm asking. One boy shares your sense of humor. Another has similar interests and ideals. The third boy has a helpful heart like yours." When Aditi Gupta comes home late from work as a pediatric resident one night and her grandfather offers this pitch, she reluctantly agrees. She's far too busy with med school to be dating, and besides, she dreams of a love for the ages, like her parents, not an arranged marriage. And yet she finds herself agreeing to three dates because she loves her grandfather. All she has to do is make herself utterly ineligible.

Great performances
It’s a charming adaptation of a great Edith Wharton story, and the actors absolutely nailed it, in parts big and small. Reminds me of a modern production of Shakespeare, with all the pleasures of current cultural references and echoes of the old.

wondering, “where is this going?” Good relatable story line, a bit frustrated with their inability to communicate- realized I was too invested in this fiction 🙃 and it was over.

Sharp & smooth, nicely flowing commentary on the vacuity of current internet culture, with the requisite twist: nonchalance turning to romance !!! A thoroughly enjoyable audio book with excellent performances & ultimately lovable protagonists!

Perfect social satire
I love how the narrator speaks in an Edith Wharton voice and keeps getting interrupted by the characters. I love how this perfectly captures 2024 social media culture. I loved when one influencer told another that “lady boss” is out after a litany about how to get more engagement. The sound engineering was fantastic. The characters were funny. The voice acting on point. I wish it had been longer. And (minor spoiler) I love how the characters, although they changed, didn’t go through some huge reformation that altered their essential personalities.
