Editor's Review

AudioBook Atlas Editorial Team

As someone who loves short stories, I found Me and Carlos to be a real treat. The stories are well-crafted and the characters are so vivid that I felt like I was right there with them, experiencing their triumphs and setbacks. Jackson White's narration is excellent, with just the right amount of warmth and nuance to bring the characters to life. The pacing is spot-on, with each story feeling just long enough to engage the listener without overstaying its welcome. One thing I would have liked is a bit more variety in the narration styles, as some of the characters felt a bit too similar. But overall, this is a great audiobook that I would highly recommend to fans of character-driven stories.
