Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Mandy Siegfried’s narration brings Paperweight to life with an understated yet profound emotional depth. Her portrayal of Stevie’s inner turmoil is both realistic and empathetic, making for a truly immersive listening experience. The audiobook successfully balances poignant storytelling with moments of levity, ensuring that the narrative never feels heavy-handed or overly dramatic. However, at times, the pacing can feel a bit slow, which might make some listeners impatient. Nonetheless, Paperweight’s exploration of complex emotions and its unwavering focus on Stevie's character development more than compensate for any minor flaws in pacing. This is an audiobook that will resonate deeply with those who have experienced or are familiar with eating disorders and trauma.
