When you read this

When you read this / Mary Adkins, read by Sarah Naughton, 376 pgs.

A lovely epistolary novel following the emails, texts and blog posts of an interesting group of people who know or are Iris or her boss Smith.  Iris died tragically young and Smith is trying to figure out how to get by without her.  Add Smith's new intern, the go-getter Carl, Iris's sister Jade and some of the PR firm's clients.  What you get is funny, surprising, with a little bit of romance (some you WON'T predict).  I feel like this is an unexpected treasure.  The narration by Sarah Naughton is great but I didn't love having to listen to her read each email header in its entirety...but that is a small detraction.
