Peace, Love, and Baby Ducks

About This Audiobook

Lauren Myracle’s *Peace, Love, and Baby Ducks* is a razor-sharp coming-of-age novel that skewers the glittering façade of suburban teen life with unflinching honesty. Carly Irresistible—yes, that’s her real last name—lives in a bubble of privilege where weekends are spent at Nantucket beach houses and cocktail parties feel like family dinners. But beneath the pastel sweaters and designer labels, Carly’s world is cracking: her older sister Macy, once her moral compass, is now a distracted, possibly self-destructive mess after a traumatic accident. What follows is a raw, often hilarious exploration of identity, where Carly’s privileged upbringing collides with the messy realities of love, loss, and growing up. Myracle’s prose is brisk, witty, and laced with Southern charm, making it impossible to look away from Carly’s deeply human missteps and triumphs. Narration by Julia Whelan elevates the story into something electric—her delivery shifts effortlessly from sarcastic teen snark to vulnerable soul-searching, grounding Carly’s emotional whiplash in a performance that feels like eavesdropping on a best friend’s most raw conversations. The audiobook’s pacing crackles with the same energy as Carly’s internal monologue, making 7 hours fly by like a weekend fling you don’t want to end.
