Publisher's summary

Two women reflect on the value of their lives in a wry short story of male privilege and undeserved rewards by Emma Cline, the New York Times bestselling author of The Girls.

Keri and Paula are strangers with something rotten in common: the annoying Devlin brothers. Keri is an investor whose expertise is dismissed on the entrepreneurial reality show that shot the boys to fame. Paula is the boys’ accommodating neighbor who has suffered their ingratitude for years. The world is wide open for the Devlins after their overnight success. But for Keri and Paula? For all it’s worth, they’re coming face-to-face with the maddening business of being a woman.

Sharp, Concise Writing - Depressing Story

I enjoyed how true to life this story felt, but it leaves you with a bleak feeling. The authors point, I believe, is to relay the mundane nuance of everyday life. It delves into the private selfishness of the human psyche. Overall, the story was well written, and the performance was excellent. Thematically, it left me rather hopeless.

Biting and real

While not an entirely joyous listen, the characters are wholly real and the story is excellent and well written.
