The Only Girl

Author Robin Green narrates her own #metoo story of life as the only woman at the boys' club that was ROLLING STONE magazine. The audiobook is an unabashed account of sex, drugs, more sex, and, oh yes, groundbreaking journalism. The weakest aspect of the work is Green's narration. A voice that sounds like too many years of cigarettes coupled with unintentional pauses makes the listener wish for a more experienced narrator. But there is no denying the hypnotic power of the salacious stories and her ability to get the rich and famous to share their darkest secrets. The rampant sexism of the early '70s made her biggest challenge her own workplace. Her admission that she sometimes literally seduced her subject taints her journalistic integrity a tad, but not the voyeuristic pleasure. M.S. � AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine
