@katherinecenter: Remember when I said that Ellie Kemper is *frigging amazing* reading the new audiobook of Happiness for Beginners???? BOOKLIST agrees!! 💕💕💕 So overjoyed by this phenomenal STARRED review!!! And it is spot on!! Here’s the whole thing! “Center’s 2015 novel got two audiobooks in 2023. That’s what happens when Netflix releases a film adaptation and a Hollywood star decides she can play all the roles rather than just the lead. Verdict? She’s delightfully superb! Kemper *is* Helen Carpenter, who’s doing the Wild thing to reset her life. She’s 32, her husband is now her ex, and she’s spent the year feeling “utterly broken.” She’s decided a make-or-break survival hiking adventure in “one of the steepest, wildest, most bloodthirsty ranges in the U.S.”—the Absaroka mountains—might be exactly what she needs. When she goes to drop off her pup with her (unreliable and irresponsible) younger brother Duncan, she finds out that his annoying roommate Jake (“I had never liked this kid”) is somehow also on her same trip. Not only that, Jake also needs a ride out to Wyoming or he’ll have to hitchhike. Helen begrudgingly agrees to his company, but by the time they get to the meeting point, they’ve agreed to be total strangers at Helen’s insistence; she really doesn’t need another complication in her life. Step by step, transformations await. Kemper might have had the most practice as Helen, but she also gets every character just right: wise Grandma Gigi, flaky Duncan, endearing Jake, zealous man-child Beckett, snarky Hugh, evolved Windy. Kemper absolutely assures aural happiness for beginners—and everyone else.” — Terry Hong / BOOKLIST 🌟 #happinessforbeginners #elliekemper #katherinecenter #katherinecenterbooks #helenandjake #helenwithanH #audiobookaddict #audiobooknarrator #audiobooks #audiobooktok #romcombook #theoffice #kimmyschmidt
