Book description
"[A] sparkling first novel"--Alexander Moran, Booklist (starred review) "Molly McGhee's luminary imagination makes this debut a wonder. Precision, humor, heart, this is a stunner." --Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah, bestselling author of Friday Black and Chain Gang All Stars Jonathan Abernathy is a self-proclaimed loser. . . he's behind on his debts, has no prospects, no friends, and no ambitions. But when a government loan forgiveness program offers him a literal dream job, he thinks he's found his big break. If he can appear to be competent at his new job, entering the minds of middle class workers while they sleep and removing the unsavory detritus of their waking lives from their unconscious, he might have a chance at a new life. As Abernathy finds his footing in this role, reality and morality begin to warp around him. Soon, the lines between life and work, love and hate, right and wrong, even sleep and consciousness, begin to blur. Molly McGhee touches on themes most people know all too well--the relentlessly crushing weight of debt, the recognition that work won't love you back and the awkwardness of finding love when you are without hope. A workplace novel, at once tender, startling, and deeply funny, Jonathan Abernathy You Are Kind is a stunning, critical work of surrealist fiction, a piercing critique of late-stage capitalism, and a reckoning with its true cost.

I'm impressed by ListenBook's commitment to providing a silky-smooth playback experience. This app has turned my mundane tasks into exciting opportunities for reading. Auto-rewind is a very handy feature. Excellent app. Not bad, but not amazing either. The narrator’s voice was pleasant, though some parts felt a bit rushed. The story had its moments, but I wouldn’t necessarily recommend it over similar titles in the genre.

The ability to play various audio formats without conversion is amazing. ListenBook is top-notch. I don't have strong feelings about this one either way. The narration was competent but forgettable. The story itself was more engaging than the performance.
