Drama Queen

I’ll admit, I rolled my eyes at first—*another* baby-daddy drama? But *Drama Queen* disarmed me within chapters. Hunt’s writing cuts through the clichés with dialogue so real it stings, and Kayla isn’t some weepy victim; she’s flawed, fierce, and frustratingly human. The way she justifies her choices (even the bad ones) had me yelling at my headphones more than once. That said, the secondary characters sometimes feel like caricatures—Kayla’s best friend, in particular, veers into *too* much sass without depth, which pulled me out of the moment. Now, let’s talk about Kevin R. Free’s performance, because *whew*. He doesn’t just narrate; he *performs*. His Kayla is vulnerable but never weak, and his male voices—especially the love interest—drip with charm and menace in equal measure. The production is crisp, though I docked half a star for a few awkward pauses in emotional scenes where the editing felt slightly off. But the real magic? The way Free leans into the humor. This book is *funny*—darkly, painfully so—and his timing turns even throwaway lines into meme-worthy moments. If you love audiobooks that feel like a live wire between your ears, this one’s for you. Just maybe don’t listen in public unless you’re ready to laugh (or gasp) out loud.
