Shaky is a sharp, soulful, and surprisingly romantic comedy about Nicole, a 30-year-old drummer whose wild-child lifestyle screeches to a halt after a shocking Young-Onset Parkinson’s diagnosis. Her plan? Keep partying, keep drumming, and pretend nothing’s changed.

But when she crashes back into her childhood home—complete with her no-nonsense mom and painfully put-together younger sister—Nicole’s carefully constructed denial starts to unravel. As old tensions flare and new romantic sparks fly, she’s forced to confront the one thing she’s been avoiding: her future.

Messy, funny, and full of heart, Shaky is a story about losing control and learning to love anyway—your body, your people, and maybe even that one guy you swore you’d never catch feelings for.

great cast really brings this sad/funny/horny story to life. craft writes for her actors so well, and they craft vivid characters out of her words despite only ever appearing in audio.

I dislike the story was so short but I love the fact that it was reality

being a drummer myself for over 20 years I understand when you lose stability to do what you love

I enjoyed the readers and the outcome of this performance. The story overall is cute and different, the cultural cues were well slipped in there too.

Quick and Entertaining

Queer rep: transmasc notable side character. Queerness normalized and in a positive light

LOVE LOGE LOVE LOVE THIS BOOK. I listened at 1x speed (which is uncommon for me) and savored every millisecond of it. The story is incredible, the characters are interesting, and the humor is top notch.

It was so real and vulnerable regarding Nicole’s Parkinson’s and her life’s chaos in the early stage of diagnosis. I loved the character arch, the healing, the growth.. not just for her, but for everyone.

I loved how they called out the ablism and showed real examples of how that can look in concerts/the music scene.

And I especially loved how the “good guy” was an open trans man. His character wasn’t based around his queerness and he didn’t have some traumatic backstory for his queerness. He just was. It was a part of him, not all of him.

And can we talk about the music and sound effects? Especially for outro and intros of different parts of the book?! I felt like I was watching a sitcom or something; it was phenomenal!

Phenomenal storytelling and performance

The singing and the stupid sex scenes wasn’t necessarily a part of the story line.

This audiobook starts out with sex noises, a woman jacking off a man, and the f* word being said repeatedly; and the rest of the book isn’t any better. I wish I had skipped this one, and I will be avoiding this author in the future.

Awful

I didn't finish the hook as the main character had zero redeeming qualities that I could see. When she started off starting a relationship with her married doctor I just held on until it let me submit this.
