How to Walk Away

I jumped on the first chapter because the title caught my eye, and I haven’t listened to a single word I didn’t love. Plummer’s narration is the constant that keeps me glued; she delivers Margaret’s thoughts with a soft, almost conspiratorial tone that feels like a whispered secret. The pacing lulls into a gentle groove—no sudden rush, no forced climaxes—which fits the book’s reflective tone but at times can feel a bit slow. I found myself drifting during the second half of chapter three, perhaps because the dialogue drags a little longer than necessary. On the production side, the sound quality is top notch: crisp, balanced audio with no intrusive edits. The occasional subtle background music underscores key emotional beats without drowning the narrative, though on one passage I felt the score was slightly too bright for the somber mood. That said, the overall experience is polished, making it a treat for listeners who appreciate a slow-burn story that doesn’t skimp on detail. If you’re in search of an audiobook that treats grief with honesty, lets you breathe, and reminds you that moving forward is a choice, *How to Walk Away* will feel like a companion you can walk beside. The only critique I have is the occasional pacing lull, but that’s a small price to pay for the authenticity Thérèse brings to Margaret’s world.
