Shaky

By: Katherine Craft

Narrated by: Rosa Salazar, Mayan Lopez, Roselyn Sanchez, full cast

Shaky is a sharp, soulful, and surprisingly romantic comedy about Nicole, a 30-year-old drummer whose wild-child lifestyle screeches to a halt after a shocking Young-Onset Parkinson’s diagnosis. Her plan? Keep partying, keep drumming, and pretend nothing’s changed.

But when she crashes back into her childhood home—complete with her no-nonsense mom and painfully put-together younger sister—Nicole’s carefully constructed denial starts to unravel. As old tensions flare and new romantic sparks fly, she’s forced to confront the one thing she’s been avoiding: her future.

Messy, funny, and full of heart, Shaky is a story about losing control and learning to love anyway—your body, your people, and maybe even that one guy you swore you’d never catch feelings for.

being a drummer myself for over 20 years I understand when you lose stability to do what you love

I dislike the story was so short but I love the fact that it was reality

The final product is a story that is both stimulating and enjoyable, making it a highly recommended read.

Shaky had me locked in after the first chapter.

Funny, lighthearted, and punk rock! 10/10 recommend to anyone going through a life struggle.

Raw and Entertaining

Liked how issues with a young person diagnosed with Parkinson’s was approached. Uncomfortably funny and real.

Cute story

Excellent listen had a good message and on a great and positive note, I hope there is a sequel. I want to know what happens.
