This is one of those stories that gets read more than once. It’s fun and clever, with a great plot and very distinctive characters. I think this might be my 3rd time through, but my first as an audiobook. There is an exciting world in this book, full of people I want to hang out with. Even the Aunties.

This a chance to get to know some other people in Treasure Cove. Sabrina, normally the heroine of the full length mysteries takes a back seat. This is fun, even if you don’t know the series well. Hearing a novella feels so light. Great for lock down distraction.

Drowning in Deceit is a perfect shelter in place read. It’s a cozy with a couple murders, but no gore. It puts in a plug for animal rescue centers, too, which I appreciate. It’s all focused on backyard pools.

This is not a mystery. It’s a short, sweet story about the characters. It helps to have read other books in the series, but it’s not necessary. I had some issues with the narrator. I didn’t like the way she did the other voices. Personal preference.

In Dolphin Girl, Shel Delisle has described a complex, human, yet magical sixteen year old girl. Her situations, reactions, friends, and family are all so real, the reader has to laugh, and possibly cry, at the familiar embarrassment, longing, anger and joy that most of us can relive in the book.
Jane is an artist obsessed with dolphins. She believes she communicated clearly with dolphins at age 5, the magical aspect of the book. Haven't most of us dreamed about just that?
This book is a journey with her about relationships with family and friends. There is a focus on pods (AKA cliques) in high school and how difficult it is to cross the boundaries. She is trying to become independent of her controlling mother, manifested in the mural she wants to paint in her room.
When you listen to the audiobook, Stephanie Frizt is Jane going through these changes. Her voice is perfect, it sounds young. She has a wonderful reading voice and rhythm.
This book is for young adults, aimed at young women. However, I found plenty to interest me, as an older woman.
When you listen, stay for the reading of the scavenger hunt list, it is pretty hysterical.

I love a lot of things about this book. First, the protagonist, Grace, is someone you would want to be your friend. She is sweet, optimistic and fun. She is an Angel in Training (AIT). Her character is a normal teenage girl; defiant, independent, subject to lapses in judgement and motivation. She is also an angel, so in touch with the Big Guy, angels, and striving to be good. Finally, she is incredibly naive about humans. Much of the humor comes from her mistakes and misunderstandings.
Shel Delisle could have made this a "preachy" books with lots of moral speeches, but she avoided that trap. It is a sweet book, in the best sense of the word. I think it would be delightful for teens. All the characters feel real and change and learn over the course of the story.
The story was fun, but dealt with some serious issues. It wasn't too fluffy.
The writing flows, the kind of writing that catches you up and makes you forget who and where you are.
I thought Stephanie Fritz was the perfect narrator. She sounds like a teen, but is very articulate. YA books are difficult to narrate. I've listened to books by my favorite authors where the narrator just grates on my nerves. Ms. Fritz is easy to listen to and sounds like a 14 year old with Grace's optimism and cheerful nature.
