YOU ME AND INFINITY written by Deb Caletti and read by Sara Matsui-Colby
Sara Matsui-Colby quickly makes it clear that anxious introverted high school junior, Magaret Vittorio, is a person of passion in Deb Caletti’s YOU ME AND INFINITY. Matsui-Colby’s emotionally strong reading of this narrative invites listeners into Margaret’s deepening relationship with cute, quirky astronomy-loving Mars. From their immediate attraction to a tragic end, there is richness as they explore facets of life and love, support each other through family challenges of her controlling father and his possessive mother and experience true connection. Matsui-Colby is as skilled at developing the characters as their relationship, both main and secondary. Her excellent pacing brings about the intensity of Mars’ shocking sudden death and Margaret’s slow painful journey through regret, questioning, grief and later self-forgiveness and the importance of memorializing and connection. Matsui-Colby successfully fulfills the second person voice which listeners discover is Margaret’s love letter to Mars.
