Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Shayla Lawson’s narration in ‘This Is Major’ is not just a performance but a testament to her writing prowess. Her voice is warm, confident, and imbued with the humor that makes her essays so compelling. The pacing is deliberate yet fluid, allowing each essay to breathe and resonate fully. I found myself laughing out loud at her witty observations and occasionally catching my breath at the emotional depth of some pieces. However, a few essays felt a bit repetitive in their themes, which could have been tightened up for better flow. Overall, this audiobook is a must-listen for anyone who appreciates authentic storytelling from a fierce new voice.
