Performed by Castle alums Seamus Dever as the narrator and Juliana Dever as Kathy, the two actors really bring Leiva’s tongue-in-cheek narration and dialogue to life. This story is the perfect format for a live performance. Having read this as an audiobook, I got to have the story performed for me.

On the way, she stops by her hometown of Placidville to visit her parents and catch up with her old friends. Looking to spruce up her career, Kathy decides to move to New York.
