Editor's Review ★★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

I went into Same As It Ever Was with high expectations, and I'm thrilled to say that Claire Lombardo delivered in spades. As an editor, I'm always on the lookout for audiobooks that truly transport listeners to another world, and this one does just that. Emily Rankin's narration is top-notch, bringing a depth and nuance to the characters that's nothing short of remarkable. Her voice is soothing and engaging, making it easy to get lost in the story. One of the things that really stood out to me was Lombardo's use of language – she has a keen eye for detail and a way with words that's simply captivating. However, I did find a few sections to be a touch meandering, which broke the otherwise smooth pace of the story. Still, this is a minor quibble, and overall, I'd highly recommend Same As It Ever Was to anyone looking for a compelling family drama.
