Editor's Review ★★★☆★

AudioBook Atlas

Almarie Guerra delivers a masterclass in authenticity as she breathes life into Maria Anís Rosario. Her performance is nuanced and deeply moving, capturing both the excitement and isolation of a teenager finding her place. The story is a raw, honest portrayal of Latinx experiences in New York, with moments that will resonate strongly with listeners who have faced their own struggles with identity. However, some scenes feel slightly rushed, which could benefit from a bit more pacing. Despite this minor critique, 'They Could Have Named Her Anything' is a compelling and beautifully narrated audiobook that vividly illustrates the city’s diverse tapestry through one girl's eyes.
