An interesting audiobook about Nadine who left her first husband and kids because she felt isolated and neglected.
In a world where it’s ok(ish) for men to do that, but not for women — her story ends up in the local newspaper and she’s called a wh0re.
Other than that, meh, nothing really exceptional.
I give it 3 ⭐️ because the narrator was AWESOME

Great premise, weird execution with not a lot of meat to it

I just feel like we were reminded constantly what Nadine did and why we should judge her for it. I didn't care for her as a character but this just felt overdone and like there wasn't really a story here to tell.

Wasn’t a fan, is it a satire? A lot of satire is lost on me and so was this audio short, so I’m just going to assume it was satire and move on.

I enjoyed this short story, a story of a pair of friends one of whom is departing her own brand of advise before the others wedding. Felt intimate and real.
