Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Tom Phelan delivers a powerhouse performance that perfectly complements Jeff Garvin's vivid writing. His narration is so compelling that listeners will be hard-pressed to remember when they aren’t hearing Riley’s voice directly. The pacing is just right, allowing ample space for introspection without feeling sluggish. However, some listeners might find the constant stream of inner thoughts a tad overwhelming at times, which can occasionally slow down the narrative momentum. Despite this minor critique, Symptoms of Being Human remains a powerful and poignant listen that captures the essence of teenage struggles with profound insight.
