About this listen

Please note: This content is intended for adults only. It features adult language and themes that may be upsetting to some listeners. Discretion is advised.

Twenty-five-year-old fitness-instructor Elle has been toiling away in the LA rat race since her teen years with nothing to show for it but a “vintage” apartment (with a permanently clogged toilet), an “alt-comedy” (unemployed alcoholic) boyfriend, and an anorexic coworker who’s constantly surpassing Elle at work because her dad owns the place. While Elle might not have a rich daddy to fall back on, her luck changes when she finds herself being aggressively pursued by a hot, rich 45-year-old man, a.k.a. a zaddy.

Zack is a tech millionaire many times over with an irresistible smirk and abs that could shatter your phone screen. After Elle flirts with Zack on his buddy’s yacht, it feels like every area of her life has a glow-up. Literally. Her skin is glistening, she’s madly in love with her well-connected, smoking-hot boyfriend, and soon enough, she’s opening her very own fitness studio for A-list clientele. But when mysterious tragedies strike, Elle is forced to wonder if she can truly afford the good life or if the cost is too rich for her blood after all.

A sexy, twisty thriller written and performed by Sarah Ramos, featuring Chris Messina as Zack.

Zaddy is hot, funny, and sad!!!

I love how Sarah’s mind works. She is able to give an insightful view into the horrors of LA through the vehicles of satire, wit, and empathy. Loved her and Chris Messina’s acting!

It was okay

I liked that this story was short and quick moving. The main character was not likeable, though. I did think the parts about the barre classes were funny (I'm a barre instructor, so I'm biased). The way the girl was talking about Emo music, though... I guess I'll start shopping for my coffin. Overall, this one was okay, but I probably wouldn't recommend it.

not so bad.

I don't know anything about fashion or a la. so it's kind of annoying at first. but I'm not going to let you kind of suck me in. the slightly pornographic sex scenes were pretty fun too. and I did enjoy the ending.

Nice little quickie

I enjoy suspense and this was a cute little palate cleanser between my longer reads. Funny and quirky and the ending was so real.
