Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Paige Layle's portrayal of Anna is nothing short of captivating. She masterfully captures the teenage girl's confusion, anger, and vulnerability, making it impossible not to root for her, despite the damning evidence against her. The ensemble cast is equally impressive, with Josh Hurley's Detective Nash and Hillary Huber's Mrs. Raines standing out. The pacing is relentless, with each chapter ending on a cliffhanger that demands immediate resolution. However, some of the secondary characters' motivations felt a bit rushed, leaving me wishing for more depth. Production-wise, the sound effects are used sparingly but effectively, adding to the overall suspense. Overall, American Girl is a gripping listen that will keep you on the edge of your seat, even as you question who to trust.
