Skylar Kergil's narration is nothing short of captivating. His intimate, conversational style draws you in, making you feel like you're listening to a trusted friend pouring their heart out. The audiobook's pacing is excellent, ebbing and flowing with the emotional intensity of each memory. However, some family interviews could have benefited from more editing to maintain the book's momentum. Overall, Before I Had the Words is a powerful, emotional journey that will resonate with anyone who's ever felt like they don't fit the mold.
