Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Caitlin Kinnunen’s narration shines brightly in ‘Shopgirls’, her distinct voices making each character feel both alive and relatable. The pacing of the audiobook is perfect, with a seamless transition between Zippy’s personal growth and the drama unfolding around her. Her ability to convey the 1980s setting without overdoing it is commendable; the production values are top-notch, from the crisp sounds of the department store to the soft whispers of side conversations. However, at times, the narrative can feel a bit too predictable, which might disappoint those looking for unexpected twists. Nonetheless, Kinnunen’s performance and the compelling story make ‘Shopgirls’ an audiobook that will resonate with listeners who enjoy genre fiction and coming-of-age stories.
