Editor's Review

AudioBook Atlas Editorial Team

Rebecca Lowman’s portrayal of Kate and Tessa Albertson’s performance as Eliza are standout in 'The First Time I Saw Him.' Their voices capture the vulnerability and strength of their characters, creating a vivid narrative. Colin Donnell and CJ Wilson also bring depth to their roles, adding layers to the story. The pacing is well-balanced, maintaining tension without overwhelming. However, at times the numerous plot twists can feel slightly contrived, distracting from the otherwise strong storytelling. Overall, this audiobook delivers an immersive experience that will keep you hooked until the very end.
