Keep Your Friends Close

Sarah Jane Drummey’s portrayal of Darcy Hogan is nothing short of brilliant; her tone conveys Darcy’s vulnerability and strength with equal measure. Alana Kerr Collins’ performance as Darcy’s supportive friend keeps the audiobook engaging even when you might think it’s veering into cliché territory. The pacing is just right, allowing listeners to savor each moment of Darcy's emotional journey without rushing through key parts. Caroline Morahan’s nuanced voice work adds layers to the story, especially during pivotal scenes. However, some monologues feel slightly overwrought at times, which might detract from an otherwise stellar performance. This audiobook offers a fresh take on family life and friendship, making it a must-listen for anyone who has experienced the joys and challenges of pregnancy.
