Meetings, Merlot and Midlife The Performance Review
Claire Sutton
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
Performance reviews are supposed to evaluate your work.
No one tells you they might dismantle your life.
Melody Shay has spent decades mastering the art of corporate survival — sharp heels, sharper instincts, and just enough Merlot to take the edge off the boardroom. But when a routine performance review turns into something far more personal, the carefully constructed balance between her career, her family, and herself begins to crack.
Because this isn’t just about KPIs and targets.
It’s about relevance. Reinvention. And the quiet, terrifying question every woman eventually faces: what happens when the version of you that built your life… is no longer enough to sustain it?
As tensions rise at work and at home, Melody is forced to confront shifting power dynamics, unspoken expectations, and the uncomfortable truth that success — real success — might require rewriting the rules she’s lived by for years.
Witty, raw, and unflinchingly honest, The Performance Review is a story about ambition, identity, and the messy, magnificent chaos of starting over.
Because sometimes the most important review…
is the one you give yourself.
