The New Yorkers by Cathleen Schine

3.0

Audio book read by Nicole Roberts

Five apartment dwellers living in a quiet block near Central Park meet over their canine companions. Friendships develop, misunderstandings ensure, couples come together, drift apart and the members find new attachments.

This is a lovely, quick read – a Valentine to New York City. The characters are charming and sometimes exasperating. The dogs are all loveable (even the one that bites). It’s a year in the life of these lonely people wherein they meet and connect over their beloved pooches. The book contains humor, pathos, irony and romance. What’s not to like?!

Nicole Roberts does a fine job narrating the audio book. She has good pacing and sufficient skill as a voice artist to differentiate the characters.
