Mara Wilson delivers an impeccable performance that brings life to Zevin's lyrical prose. Her soothing yet expressive narration allows listeners to fully immerse themselves in the narrative without distraction. The pacing is just right—slightly slower than most modern audiobooks, which ensures that every detail of this coming-of-age story is absorbed by the listener. However, some scenes might feel a bit slow for those craving more action or plot advancement. Nonetheless, the emotional depth and subtle humor make it well worth the time. This audiobook is a standout in its genre, offering both comfort and challenge as it explores themes of love and life’s mysteries.
