Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

I was captivated by Avi Roque’s masterful performance in this moving narrative. His ability to infuse Alex's voice with both vulnerability and strength is nothing short of exceptional. The story delves deep into themes of self-acceptance, making it a compelling listen for young adults and beyond. However, some might find the pacing a bit slow at times, which can be attributed to the detailed and introspective nature of the storytelling. Overall, Fifteen Hundred Miles from the Sun is a deeply personal journey that will leave you reflecting on your own path to self-discovery.
