When her best friend, B.J., signs her up to attend their high school reunion, Melanie is forced to pull herself together and replace her preoccupation with her husband, and that fact that he has left her, with fantasies about her ex-boyfriend. Narrator Lesa Lockford effectively portrays Melanie’s initial self-doubt as well as her growing confidence as the story develops, especially her determination to overcome her fear of driving. Though Lockford’s narration conveys the humorous and touching aspects of the story, her portrayals of the secondary characters are somewhat lackluster, and the transitions between them, slightly blurred. Lockford’s timing and modulations are also a bit off, leading to some distracting jerky narrative. M.F. © AudioFile 2013, Portland, Maine
