Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Each of the narrators brings their own flair to Fast Girls, creating distinct voices that are both compelling and authentic. Karissa Vacker’s portrayal of the central character, Helen Stephens, is powerful and inspiring, while Kristyl Dawn Tift adds a layer of complexity as the ambitious Alice Woolley. Reba Buhr’s quieter, more introspective performances perfectly match her characters' inner worlds. Kaleo Griffith brings an energetic and youthful edge to the narrative, making the race scenes both thrilling and heartbreaking. The pacing is brisk and engaging, never bogging down despite the historical context. However, some sections feel slightly rushed, which could benefit from a bit more nuance. Overall, Fast Girls is a compelling listen that will leave you cheering for these fast girls as they break through barriers in their pursuit of glory.
