Publisher's summary

The inhabitants of a small town have long found that their lives intersect at one focal point: the local shopping mall. But business is down, stores are closing, and as the institution breathes its last gasp, the people inside it dream of something different, something more. You Are Here brings this diverse group of characters vividly to life.

The only hair stylist at Sunshine Clips secretly watches YouTube primers on how to draw and paint, just as her awkward young son covertly studies new illusions for his magic act. His friend and magician's assistant, a high school cashier in the food court, has attracted the unwanted attention of a strange boy at school. She tells no one except the mall's chain bookstore manager, a failed academic living in the tiny house he built in his mother-in-law's backyard. His family is watched over by the judgmental old woman next door, whose weekly trips to Sunshine Clips hide a complicated and emotional history and will spark the moment when everything changes for them all.

Exploring how the stories we tell ourselves about ourselves are inextricably bound to the places we call home, You Are Here is a keenly perceptive and deeply humane portrait of a community in transition, ultimately illuminating the magical connections that can bloom from the ordinary wonder of our everyday lives.

Written to be a screenplay

This novel, like others by different authors, reads and sounds as if written for a producer to pay for rights to make a film.
Please stop it!
Entertains, inventive but come on, give me a break!

Annoying narration

The voices are not right for the peoples the lisping for Jackson too immature for the age. Jackson is a little girl.
I have to say I skimmed through the book. There is too much narration throughout the story. My attention was peaked because it reminded me of working in a mall that went out of business.

Narration was unbearable

The narrator sounded like a robot. Thought I was listening to Siri or Alexa reading the story.

Loved the story!

Wonderful story. Reqarding listen. The voice actor annoyed me a bit. Her Roe voice was too childlike but I got used to it. Worth it in the end!

Did not like the narrator

I’m sorry I didn’t buy the book to read myself. I really did not like the narrator. She sounded robotic with very little emotion.

Loved this so much!

A sweet and thoughtful story that touches on many timely topics. It wrestles with our prejudices and judgements toward ourselves as much as toward others. A truly rewarding listen!
