Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Candace Thaxton's narration is nothing short of exceptional, bringing to life the vibrant personalities and emotions of both sisters. Her performance captures the essence of their unique relationship, making it easy to feel deeply invested in their journey. The story unfolds at a perfect pace, with moments of heartbreak that are poignant without being overly dramatic, and scenes of joy that are genuinely uplifting. A specific critique: while the narration is stellar, some might find the slower pacing during certain narrative transitions a bit tedious. Nonetheless, 'We Could Be Rats' is an audiobook that offers a refreshing perspective on sibling bonds and the power of storytelling, making it a must-listen for fans of LGBTQ+ fiction and anyone who appreciates well-crafted character development.
