Rachel Morrison

Stay-at-home mom of three (Emma 7, Lucas 5, Baby Sophie 2), former marketing manager at a CPG company. Left corporate life when Sophie was born and discovered that managing three kids is harder than managing three product launches. At least products don't have meltdowns at Target. My audiobook time is sacred and hard-won: morning school drop-off (25 minutes of peace), toddler nap time (if she actually naps, big if), and 45 minutes of sitting in my car in the garage before going inside. Don't judge me. That car time is the only silence I get. I don't have time for 40-hour epics or books that require a character wiki. I need stories that can survive being paused a dozen times and still make sense when I come back. Bonus points if I can finish a book in a week. Bigger bonus if the ending doesn't make me ugly-cry at school pickup. I listen at 1.25x because I'm not speedrunning, I'm surviving. My library is 90% comfort reads and I'm not sorry. Sometimes a predictable happy ending is exactly what you need after cleaning up yogurt from places yogurt should never be.
