Lately, Audiobooks have been something that we have loved listening to. It’s a way to bring a book to life that feels like we’re watching a movie in our imagination. Yes, I could be phrasing that wrong, but like here we are and that’s what I am going with.
The reality is that audiobooks are amazing and we need to listen to more. One audiobook that we are looking forward to – Good Material, from writer and journalist Dolly Alderton. Why are we looking forward to it?
Well besides the fact that we’re sure that it would be a good book, it’s in part due to who is reading the audio book. Vanessa Kirby and Arthur Darvill have signed on to read the audiobook.
We only have to wait until November for the audiobook. The UK publication will happen on November 2 through Penguin Random House Audio ahead of the release of the book on November 9th.
What is Good Material about? Well, “Andy’s story wasn’t meant to turn out this way. Living out of a suitcase in his best friends’ spare room, waiting for his career as a stand-up comedian to finally take off, he struggles to process the life-ruining end of his relationship with the only woman he’s ever truly loved.
As he tries to solve the seemingly unsolvable mystery of his broken relationship, he contends with career catastrophe, social media paranoia, a rapidly dwindling friendship group and the growing suspicion that, at 35, he really should have figured this all out by now.
Andy has a lot to learn, not least his ex-girlfriend’s side of the story.
Warm, wise, funny and achingly relatable, Dolly Alderton’s highly-anticipated second novel is about the mystery of what draws us together – and what pulls us apart – the pain of really growing up, and the stories we tell about our lives.”
Vanessa will be reading the part of Jen and Arthur the part of Andy.
