Editor's Review ★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

As a listener, I was immediately drawn to Youngberg's narration. He masterfully captures Nico's sarcastic wit, making even the most mundane scenes engaging. The story's pacing is spot-on, allowing the friendship between Nico and his newfound allies to develop organically. I particularly loved the exploration of Nico's evolving relationship with his sexuality and his family. However, I did find some of the secondary characters a bit one-dimensional. Despite this, 'The Ghost in My Closet' is a charming listen that left me with a warm, fuzzy feeling. It's like a cozy blanket on a rainy day, with just the right amount of depth to keep you thinking.
