Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

As someone who loves to explore the nuances of everyday life, I found myself utterly charmed by About Average. Celia Keenan-Bolger's narration is nothing short of brilliant – her ability to convey the essence of each character with just her voice is a testament to her skill. I was particularly moved by the way she portrayed the protagonist's journey of self-acceptance, capturing the delicate balance between vulnerability and strength. However, at times, I felt the pacing could have been more dynamic to keep younger listeners engaged. Despite this minor critique, I highly recommend About Average to anyone looking for a heartwarming and thought-provoking audiobook that celebrates the beauty of being average.
