Editor's Review ★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

As a narrator, Tess Sharpe brings 'The Girls I\'ve Been' to life with an authentic and nuanced voice that perfectly captures her character's growth and complexity. Her dual role as author and narrator makes the storytelling even more intimate, allowing listeners to fully immerse themselves in the story. The pacing is deliberate yet urgent, creating a tense atmosphere that keeps you on edge until the very end. Despite its intense subject matter, Sharpe manages to maintain a balance between suspense and emotional depth, making it hard not to invest emotionally in the protagonist's journey. However, the narrative occasionally feels overly familiar with tropes, which might make some listeners question the originality of certain plot points.
