From AudioFile:
Rebeck's story relates the ups and downs of the lucky Heller sisters, three women who enjoy an uncanny rise to fame after being the focus of a photo shoot for THE NEW YORKER. With a variety of characters, both male and female, popping up throughout the story, the choice of dual narrators makes sense, but only one truly seems enthusiastic. David Drummond delivers a solid, well-rounded performance as the brother, but Cassandra Campbell seems bored with the material. She speaks without the slightest ounce of passion in her voice. Her characters are flat and one-dimensional, and not all that different from one another. Listeners will be hard pressed to enjoy the story with this unbalanced pair of narrators at the helm.
