Rebuttal Audiobook Summary
The Grand Prize winner of HarperCollins’s audio drama contest. “By turns amusing and angst-filled, this well-paced production is a good choice for fans of full-cast audios” (AudioFile).
All Alex Dassan needs to do is win second place in the debate team finals. The second place prize is a trip to the Nottingshire Retreat in London where she’ll have a chance to take a class with her writing idol, Mary Noelle Simmons. Alex knows that once she meets Mary her life will fall into place and her dreams of becoming a writer will be possible (and less scary). Nothing is going to stand in Alex’s way–especially not a dad who’s never home and a mom who left to go “find herself” in India. The only problem: with minutes before the competition and a missing debate partner, Alex is feeling a little desperate.
All Jeremy Beekman needs to do is pass AP Biology. If Jeremy passes then he can get into medical school, become a doctor in 10 years, and keep his family together–he won’t disappoint his parents the way his brother did. The only problem: Jeremy spends more time on art and the AV Club than on his homework.
When Alex and Jeremy run into each other (literally!) before the debate team competition, they make an arrangement–if Jeremy helps Alex win the debate team finals then Alex will tutor Jeremy in biology. What could go wrong?
What starts as an academic arrangement soon turns into a friendship where absent parents and burdensome expectations are confronted, dreams are dreamed bigger, and the debate team competition stakes are even higher. You may now begin your rebuttal.

Rebuttal Audiobook Narrator
Phoebe Strole is the narrator of Rebuttal audiobook that was written by Jyotsna Hariharan
Jyotsna Hariharan lives in New York and is originally from Madurai, India. After a few years in advertising and marketing, she realized she would never find enough synonyms for “empower”, and decided to move to New York to pretend to be a writer. When she’s not juggling grad school, crippling introversion, and trying not to go broke, she enjoys trivia nights, television, and being a New York stereotype who is infuriated by slow walkers. She wishes she had a pet or husband to put in her bio, but can afford neither right now. Rebuttal is her first audio drama.

Short and beautifully to the point. Frustratingly likeable and everyone will relate. Enjoy

I got this audiobook through the AudiobookSync campaign of last year, and I dreaded to listen it until yesterday, for the title I guess (?). BUT how wrong I was; it's really short and it has a full cast whom did a wonderful job, also it addresses a bunch of topics in vogue, specially for young adults comint to age (or however you call it) such as finding what you're passionate about and dealing with failure. Anyway, I deeply enjoyed it even tho I'm older than the target audience.

I am so pleasantly surprised. I read some reviews and found out this was a very short book, and until then I hadn't noticed. Just by the length I think the author did a very good job. This met all my needs. Cute and to the point while the characters were very likable. It made me want more though, I want a longer book where they discover what's next in their life.

I liked this short story I got through Audiobook Sync. It is about two teens who met by accident and decided to be together for a debate. They became friends and a team, and debated together whatever was assigned to them, and in private, about their future following their dreams.Narration was really good and fun to listen.
