Groomed

Kate Lock's performance in ‘Groomed’ is nothing short of exceptional. Her ability to convey both the desperation and resilience of Keeley, as well as Casey's determination and vulnerability, elevates Watson’s already poignant narrative. The pacing is deliberate yet never sluggish; each pause adds weight to the unfolding drama. Despite its heavy subject matter, Lock finds moments of levity that keep the story from becoming too emotionally taxing. One minor critique: some of the political discussions could benefit from more context. Nonetheless, this audiobook is a powerful exploration of personal and societal challenges, making it an essential listen for anyone interested in both biographical narratives and social issues.
