The Awkward Truth by Lee Winter
4.0
The Winters/Dawe combination does it for me again. This audiobook was a treat for the ear and the mind.
A friend of mine likes to say that Lee Winters is a writing god. Having read several of Winters books, I can see her point. Winters writes well. Very well. Like, major publishing house well. She also crafts stories which shed light on social issues that plague our world but which we may turn a blind eye to if they don't affect us personally. She does that without climbing on a soapbox and she does it with humor. Both feats I appreciate and they make her work immensely readable to me. The lady can also craft an ice queen (and thaw her out) like no other. This skill has gained her legions of fans of this particular trope. Her predilection for this type of character is the only reason I haven't yet completed her catalog. I can only tolerate just so much of the ice. But folks, when I feel the need for it I know just where to go.
