About This Story Might Save Your Life

This program includes extra audio-only material, including duet recordings of the podcast episodes, light sound design, tip-line recordings from guest narrators (including the author), and a bonus podcast episode! "Both a riveting mystery and a love story, This Story Might Save Your Life is one of the best thrillers I’ve read this year." —Amy Tintera, bestselling author of Listen for the Lie “This five-star audiobook sets the gold standard for audio drama…The enhanced audiobook transforms the story into a fully immersive experience. Layered sound design and atmospheric effects create a sense of presence that elevates the book far beyond the page.” —Booklist (Starred Review) “Narrators Julia Whelan and Sean Patrick Hopkins deliver riveting, emotional performances that heighten the suspense in this irresistible audiobook...Truly unputdownable.” — Kirkus (Earphones Award Winner) Best friends Benny and Joy like to say they’ve been saving each other’s lives since the moment they met. Until the day Joy disappears and Benny is suspected of murder . . . Benny Abbott and Joy Moore host one of the most beloved podcasts in the world. Each week, they delight listeners with a different “against all odds” survival story, gleefully finding the weird, life-affirming humor in near-death experiences. Since their first episode on Joy’s experience with severe narcolepsy, they’ve been the best friends everyone wants to befriend—and thanks to the meticulous management of Joy’s husband, Xander, they’ve built a lucrative empire. The problem is, their next survival story may be their own. When Benny arrives at Joy and Xander’s one morning to record, he finds shattered glass and an empty house. The one clue shedding light on the couple’s disappearance is the incomplete, previously unseen first draft of Joy’s memoir. Benny is desperate to find them, even when the police soon zero in on him as their prime suspect. Millions of devoted listeners think they know the “real” Benny and Joy. But as the hours tick by, and the odds seem increasingly stacked against Joy and Xander being found alive, not even the most devoted fans could guess the terrible secrets their favorite famous BFFs have hidden from the world—and from each other. "...the best part of this might be the narrators, who feel as natural in their banter as the real-life podcasters who once combined for 'Oh No, Ross and Carrie!'... [Julia] Whelan has long been one of the best audiobook narrators, and [narrator Sean Patrick] Hopkins is her equal, not just in their interactions but as they create Xander and the other characters..."— The Valley Breeze A Macmillan Audio production from Pine & Cedar Books
