Fabulous! Delusional! Pure Camp! Jessamyn St. Germain is meant to be a star. She pours her heart and soul into her work. She has a vocal coach and only cares about musicals, not commercials or plays. She’s A Lamb by Meredith Hambrock is infused with humor. I chuckled and laughed so much while listening to this audiobook. I finished in two sittings as I wanted to hear about how she clawed her way to the top for her starring role as Maria in The Sound of Music. Perhaps a little deceit, obsession, rage and blank played a small part. A new Neely O’Hara has risen! ALC was provided by Dreamscape Media via NetGalley.

I absolutely loved this! It was crazy, unhinged, and simply absurd. Jessamyn, Jessamyn, Jessamyn. Jessamyn was horrible and wonderful and I am obsessed. As a narrator she was unreliable, unhinged, and simply delusional and I ate it up. If you like satire, unhinged female characters, theatre kids/adults, and or pure delusion I highly recommend picking up She’s The Lamb!

I love a book with an unhinged protagonist, so I definitely anticipated loving this one, but something about it just didn't click with me. I felt that the voice of the character came across a little too juvenile/immature.

Jessamyn St. Germain is a star inside and out! There is no one more committed to breathing every breath to perform. She hasn't had her "big break" yet, but when the local Vancouver theater has open auditions for The Sound of Music, Jessamyn knows this is her time. She is perfect for Maria! The only problem is everyone else has a hard time seeing her star power.

She had been assigned the position of childminder for the kids playing the von Trapp children, but she knows the real reason she is there is the director wants to keep her close for when Samantha, the woman cast as Maria, fails, Jessamyn can step in to save the show.

I loved this book! The cover was what grabbed me first on NetGalley and the book was great. The dark satire humor and delusional, unreliable narration keeps you hooked. Jessamyn's disconnection from the real world and very optimistic opinion of herself is something you want to cheer for and makes you cringe at the same time. The horror aspect was more on the mild side (if you read Victorian Psycho, this has similar dark humor vibes but way less gore). I flew through this one and honestly wanted to start it again. The narrator was awesome and really brought Jessamyn's inner dialogue and intrusive thoughts alive. This one is coming out next month!

Thank you to NetGalley, Dreamscape Media, and ECW Press for the ARC/ALC for review.

She's a Lamb! has an interesting concept and idea, and I liked the comparison that one reader made about thus book saying that this book is fairly similar to the horror movie Pearl. I'll say it's an accurate comparison. But this book is about a theatre actress and not a movie one, as it is in the movie.
Unfortunately, this book failed to astonish me. I particularly did not like the writer's sense of humour - I don't think it is funny at all, even though there were a few fairly entertaining moments, but never funny. And I hated the protagonist. I cannot fully enjoy a book if I hate the main protagonist.
I thought she was incredibly selfish, narcisist, egocentric and immature. She's keeps saying she's 26 yo, and not even for 1 second I believed her, because she spoke and behaved like a spoiled 16-year old brat. I hated her and I couldn't root for her, so I was not entertained or amused by reading this book.
The audiobook is very well done, I might say. If I weren't listening to this audiobook, I would have DNFed this book very easily and quickly.

As I am not a theater girly, I wasn’t too sure about this one but the cover was impossible to resist. I am beyond happy I took a risk because this was freaking hilarious. The narrator did the perfect job of capturing the mania of our main character. I don’t say mania lightly either. She was completely off of the rails. The last few pages of this book had my jaw on the floor while simultaneously holding back a giggle at the insanity. I loved it. The tension slowly built higher and higher through the book until everything completely imploded. If you want to read more unhinged women but get spooked easily or are queasy, I definitely recommend giving this one a go. I am hesitant to say it was tame (because hello??) but it was definitely less gross than many others I have read.
