Alone with the Stars

I've been interested in the story of Amelia Earhart's disappearance ever since I had to do a book report on her in elementary school so I was excited about listening to this Audible Original. Unfortunately, I was disappointed.

The story doesn't focus on Amelia for long, instead following the story of Lizzie, a fictional character who overhears Amelia's transmission.

While not strong at the beginning, it definitely took a turn for the worse in the last third. I struggled through an unnecessary, rant-filled monologue liberally sprinkled with foul language by a side character who seemed to hate women, and was only too happy when I finally reached the end of the story.

I'm just glad it was short, clocking in at only two hours and ten minutes, and I can't, in good conscience, recommend this one.
