Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Julia Whelan’s performance is nothing short of exceptional, perfectly capturing the blend of vulnerability and strength that defines the protagonist. The narrative zips along at a rapid pace, leaving listeners breathless by its climax. Bushnell's writing shines through Whelan's voice, delivering snappy dialogue and raw emotions with equal aplomb. However, some sections feel slightly rushed, which can detract from the immersive experience. Despite this minor critique, 'Rules for Being a Girl' is an audiobook that should not be missed by anyone who loves sharp, satirical storytelling combined with a compelling coming-of-age narrative.
