Free Audiobook : City of Girls, by Elizabeth Gilbert

City of Girls by Elizabeth Gilbert drops you into the electric hum of 1940s Manhattan, where Vivian Morris trades a dull college flop for a summer with her bohemian Aunt Peg. This dramatized audiobook lights up the Lily Playhouse, a scrappy theater buzzing with showgirls and dreamers, and Vivian’s right in the thick of it. The voices and music swing you into her new life, stitching costumes and soaking up a city that’s all glitter and grit.

She’s got a firecracker roommate named Celia, a knack for trouble, and a hunger for everything New York can throw at her. From late-night haunts to backstage whispers, the audio makes you feel the heat of every moment, wrapping you in the thrill of a young woman tasting freedom for the first time. It’s loud, it’s messy, and it’s alive with the sound of a world that doesn’t hold back.

Years later, Vivian’s looking back, spilling the story of how she chased fun and stumbled into heartbreak. Gilbert’s got a gift for making you root for the chaos, and this audiobook delivers it with a punchy vibe that sticks with you. It’s a love letter to youth and the city that shaped it, full of sass and soul.
