Editor's Review ★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

Kathe Mazur and Rebecca Lowman deliver stellar performances that are both nuanced and emotionally resonant. 'Where There's Smoke' is particularly affecting, capturing the complexity of Serenity’s life with tender authenticity. However, 'Larger Than Life' sometimes feels overlong, slowing down the pacing despite its rich storytelling. Overall, this audiobook offers a deep dive into Picoult's signature themes but might leave listeners wishing for a bit more briskness in the latter part.
