Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Eliot Sumner's narration is nothing short of stellar in 'Gliff.' His ability to capture the distinct voices of the two main characters, each struggling with their own adolescent turmoil, is commendable. The rapid-fire dialogues and subtle nuances bring depth to the narrative, making it a joy to listen through. However, some sections feel slightly rushed, perhaps due to the brevity of the audiobook. Smith's writing, on the other hand, shines brightly—each scene crackles with her trademark wit and social commentary. The pacing is brisk but never feels hurried, though there are moments where the storytelling could be more nuanced. Overall, 'Gliff' is a must-listen for fans of modern literary fiction who appreciate sharp dialogue and timely themes.
