That Friend

Beschrijving van het boek

Written and performed by “the internet’s princess” (Dazed), Sabrina Brier’s That Friend is a singular, hilarious full-cast audiobook that follows an aspiring NYC influencer whose advice podcast takes off while her real life falls apart.

Sabrina, the self-proclaimed queen of the West Village, feels destined for greatness. While her three best friends have each settled into their careers, she’s still working odd jobs to stay afloat. She dreams of channeling her immense creative potential into…something. So she decides to do what no twenty-something has ever done before—start a podcast.

She has a knack for giving good advice (even if she can’t follow it herself), and as her show gains a following, she gets a taste of the internet stardom she’s always dreamed of. Meanwhile, her offline life is falling apart: her dad won’t help her pay rent for much longer; her elusive finance bro crush is always just out of reach; even her best friends can’t stand by her increasingly chaotic and narcissistic behavior, especially when she uses their real personal issues as juicy material for the show.

Will her newfound fans see the cracks in her Instagram-worthy facade? Or is she so delusional that this just might work?

Told with the same unique blend of wit, theatrical style, and acute emotional honesty that make her TikTok videos so wildly popular, Sabrina Brier’s That Friend explores painfully relatable relationship dynamics, and what it means to be young and fabulous in New York City. Her most ambitious project yet, Sabrina’s audio debut is a celebration of female friendship and an unforgettable listening experience.
