3.5!

I am looking at the stars trying to decide if I want to give it 3 or 4 stars. Up to a certain point was a 4, maybe even more, but I was disappointed by what happened with Richard and the ending in general.

It could have been so good if it had a slightly different ending. I liked the resolution in the end, but I can’t get over how Richard reacted. I guess the point Richard fell for an idea and, as much as “Miranda” kept telling him, that was not enough. I was hopeful.

Anyway Miranda was such a great character, and the cast for the audio version did such an amazing job. I am so bad at recognizing voices but I did recognize Milo Ventimiglia… all the times I watched him in Gilmore Girls and in This is Us paid off!

I'm blown away by this story. People that have written a negative review weren't really listening, I believe. Rachel Brosnahan + crew put their hearts into this performance. This has been the most enjoyable story I've listened to this year. Very refreshing, indeed.

Such an interesting story. Based on a true story of a woman whom called herself Miranda and cold called famous men in hollywood during the 70s and 80s. Late night phone calls enchanting famous men such as Buck Henry (actor), Paul Schrader (writer [Raging Bull/Last Temptation of Christ]), Billy Joel (singer), and Richard Perry (music producer). This was an audible radio play; the performances are wonderful. It's a quick listen at 3 1/2 hrs and free with an audible subscription.
