What sucks about waking up next to a dead girl on a Saturday is more than likely you're going to miss brunch.

Just ask Sammy Junior—full-time house painter, part-time street artist, and, as of Saturday morning, prime suspect in a South Tampa homicide investigation. One more hassle he simply does not need.

Then there's Penny Sullivan, a 15-year-old runaway who shows up in South Tampa that same Saturday morning with only her dead sister's street smarts, a whole lot of survivor's guilt, and a Canada backpack.

Misunderstandings lead to Penny joining Sammy's crew, giving her a glimpse of the house-painting business—where mind-numbing boredom inspires an acid-trip world of distraction, art, and healing relationships.

A funny, fast-paced story about friendship and love, tragedy and redemption, and the always intriguing business of house painting.

I recently had the pleasure of listening to the audiobook version of "Semi-Gloss" written by Joe Barrett and narrated by the talented Tag West. The narration by Tag West was exceptional, bringing each character to life perfectly capturing the satirical and humorous tone of the book. I found myself laughing out loud at several points throughout the audiobook.

One of the strengths of "Semi-gloss" is its clever use of language and wordplay, and Barrett's narration makes sure that these linguistic gems are not lost on the listener. The dialogue is sharp and witty, and the characters are all delightfully eccentric, making for a truly entertaining listening experience.

Overall, "Semi-gloss" is a fantastic audiobook that offers a perfect blend of humor, satire, and suspense. Tag West's narration is top-notch, and the story itself is a clever and engaging tale that will leave listeners both amused and intrigued. Highly recommended for fans of satire fiction and anyone looking for an entertaining and engaging listen.

A good listen and a fun story
