Catch the Sun

As an English major by training, I approached *Catch the Sun* with a sense of curiosity and skepticism. This audiobook surprised me in the most delightful way. Jennifer Hartmann’s stories are layered with complexity, and the characters feel deeply human—all the more striking when you realize they’re based on Hartmann’s own life. Narrator Raven Wildewood has an unrestricted voice that perfectly captures the raw emotions of her characters, while Dane Anderson adds a rhythmic, sing-song cadence that makes the narrative feel lively and accessible. The pacing is just right—fast enough to keep you engaged but never so fast that it loses the weight of the story’s emotional heft. One thing I might tweak is the ending, but it’s such a heartwarming conclusion that it’s hard to fault. *Catch the Sun* is a warm, relatable tale that will stay with you long after the credits roll.
