Sad Janet

Sad Janet / Lucie Britsch, read by Kristen Sieh, 276 pgs.

Janet is very sad.  Downright depressed.  She is a young woman whose boyfriend moved on after her not taking anti-depressants, she works in a run down dog shelter, she isn't all that fun.  By contrast, she does own her sadness.  She sees that feeling isn't a bad thing.  Everyone in her life is taking a bunch of medication, they want her to take some too. She isn't that into it.  But when a special "Christmas" pill comes around...she gives in and decides to take the treatment that will help her enjoy the holidays and then it is designed for patients to wean off and return to their natural state.  In addition to the pills, you have to attend meetings.  Janet isn't into any of it but decides to go along.  Does she make it through Christmas with a new attitude? I'm not going to give you any spoilers here.  Kristen Sieh does a great job narrating although maybe she doesn't sound sad enough.  I still enjoyed hearing her reading.
