Review: "Better Nate Than Ever," by Tim Federle

I listened to this audiobook narrated by the author on my drive from Galveston to OKC today. It’s a fun story about a thirteen-year-old who doesn’t fit in with his peers or family and he devises a plan to run away to NYC to audition for a new broadway musical of E.T. Nate has never been in a performance school, he’s never been in a professional production, but he has faith in himself and his dreams of being on Broadway. I love his spirit and attitude but I felt like his journey was a little too easy. Maybe I was expecting more drama, but as a quick read, I enjoyed it.
