Your Second Life Begins When You Realize You Only Have One

Fiona Hardingham narrates this personal-growth audiobook masquerading as a novel. Paris native Camille is on a quest to find happiness, as opposed to mere contentment, putting the author's philosophy of "routinology" into action. In the dialogue, Hardingham's French accent is believable, and she gives each character a unique voice and tone. Camille's handsome mentor, Claude, has a calm, non-judgmental voice that gives her the courage to act. Camille's own voice gains confidence as she succeeds in slowly changing her focus and attitude. The glossary of routinology terms and the author interview that end the book reinforce the impression this is, in reality, a self-help book pretending to be fiction.
