Amelia Westlake Was Never Here

As a listener, I found Candice Moll and Jaye Rosenberg’s performances to be the standout aspect of this audiobook. Moll masterfully conveys Harriet’s earnestness and moral rigidity without overplaying, while Rosenberg brings a captivating edge to Will's chaotic energy. The narrative pacing is brisk but never rushed; it allows for rich character development and a satisfying plot progression. The story itself tackles important themes like harassment and inequality with both humor and poignancy. However, the dialogue sometimes feels overly contrived, which can detract from the otherwise engaging narrative. Nonetheless, this audiobook’s sharp wit and compelling characters make it well worth the listen for anyone seeking a fresh take on teen fiction.
