Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Hess's narration is both intimate and authoritative, making her journey into the world of virtual parenting feel immediate. Her ability to weave personal experiences with broader social issues creates a dynamic narrative that keeps listeners engaged. The pacing is well-balanced, allowing for deep dives into complex topics without overwhelming the listener. However, at times, the rapid-fire presentation can leave one feeling slightly breathless, as if following Hess through a maze of digital choices. Nonetheless, this audiobook is a must-listen for anyone navigating the treacherous terrain of modern parenthood in the digital era.
