Editor's Review ★★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

I was drawn to The Next Best Thing for its promise of humor and healing, and it delivered in spades. Kimberly Yvonne Steele's narration is a standout feature, her voice shifting seamlessly between Tori's wit and vulnerability. She imbues even the most mundane scenes with life, making you feel like you're right there with Tori. The pacing is spot-on, never lingering too long on heartache or humor, allowing the story to flow naturally. However, I did find some of the secondary characters a bit one-dimensional, which was a slight letdown. Overall, though, this is a charming listen that's perfect for when you need a pick-me-up or a reminder that life's detours can lead to beautiful places.
