These are three beautifully written and well narrated short stories, linked by several common factors, and well, watermelon. The first story, Vodka and Watermelons, was written for a not quite end of the world anthology, Fauxpocalypse As the author states in the kindle version "It takes place the morning after everyone on Earth believed the world was going to end...and then it didn't." I think for someone listening to the audible version, it would have helped if the introductory paragraphs that preceded each story in the kindle version had been included in the narration.

I'm not going to spoil these gems for you by saying anything else, except that the second and third stories are followups to the first. For myself, I found it worthwhile springing for the extra US$.99 that Anazon charged to get the kindle version also, but that's up to you. The narration by Jennifer Bossio is just lovely, except where she has a bit of difficulty with the little bit of Hebrew that is in the text. Still, I realize that it is not easy for most English speakers to pronounce "Chalutzim" which is Hebrew for pioneers. Still she tries, and her fine narration with the rest of this 35 minute anthology is a joy to listen to.

Beautifully written and narrated

At the beginning of this grouping of 3 short stories, it is the day after the scientific community had, months previously, predicted that the world would end. Problem is: the world didn't end. What does everyone do now?

This book is short, but still worth the listen. These three linked stories have a hopeful theme running through them. The third story especially resonates hopefulness for the future. Well written and nicely narrated, I recommend this audiobook to all audiences.

I requested a review copy of this audiobook; and this is my unbiased opinion.

End of the World...Maybe

A few short tales to entertain. Dealing with the end of the world (or not), a forbidden relationship, even starting over on Mars, I enjoyed the listen.

Both the author, Debbie Manber Kupfer, and narrator, Jennifer Bossio, did a lovely job. This quick book was a great escape.

Very well written collection of short stories. The narrator was exceptionally good but I found her accent a bit distracting...she seemed to shift between English, Australian, and a Scandinavian/Dutch accented English. My other quibble is that I couldn’t tell where one story ended and the next began. They are linked somewhat by characters so it took a minute to process that I must be in a new story when the plot line changed quite a lot.

I was struck though by how well written the stories were. It’s obviously a quick listen at 35 minutes but a good one.
