MY DAYS OF DARK GREEN EUPHORIA:
The Audiobook
read by Erica Sullivan
“Cannot imagine life without this book. Maybe I'm biased, because I identify with the protagonist, but I think this book is a masterpiece. There is not a wasted word, and some of the lines are so poetic, I read them over and over. I highly recommend listening to the audio version, because the narration is excellent.”
