Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Elizabeth Acevedo's narration adds a layer of depth to Pride that goes beyond voice quality; her accent infuses the story with Caribbean flair, making it feel like you're right in the heart of the Brooklyn setting. The first-person narrative is unapologetic and raw, which can be both exhilarating and jarring at times. While the plot moves swiftly, some scenes felt rushed, particularly those involving character development. However, the strength lies in its timely exploration of race, class, and love. This audiobook isn't just a reimagining—it's a conversation starter that challenges listeners to think about their own biases and privileges.
