Snap
“Carol Schneider performs the many voices in this comic novel with a sure sense of its humor and pathos. She does accents well, shifts smoothly among the many characters, and gives a distinct tone and tempo to the three leads…A popular Canadian children’s author with a number of TV credits, Nielsen knows of what she writes. This is a fine audiobook…Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.”

A laugh-out-loud novel about the consequences of being pushed to the edge-and plummeting right over it
Frances Partridge, fifty-five, is a beloved children's author. Geraint Blevins, forty-one, is an auto mechanic and devoted family man. Parker Poplawski, twenty-three, is just starting her career as a wardrobe assistant on a hit TV show. What do these people have in common?
Nothing, that's what. Until each of them reaches a breaking point and snaps in spectacular fashion. They meet in a court-mandated anger management class: three very different people, forced to spend a lot of time together, who slowly end up bonding and helping one another in unexpected ways, whether it's to move on or to exact revenge.
Lighthearted, timely, and funny, Snap is Nielsen at the top of her storytelling game, delivering flawed but relatable characters whose heartaches, foibles, and choices will make you cringe as you laugh out loud.
