Series ✦ Penny’s Take 🎧 Audiobook
The Unselected Journals of Emma M. Lion Vol. 2
Beth Brower · 2025
🎙 Narrated by Genevieve Gaunt
68/100
👎 Skip It
Picking up right where Volume 1 left off, this keeps the comedic charm going but leans harder on you already knowing the cast, and there's less outside reviewing to back up the fan enthusiasm. Genevieve Gaunt keeps the narration consistent and pleasant. A fine follow-up for existing fans, though it doesn't quite stand on its own.
