Editor's Review ★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

As a long-time fan of the original Secret Garden, I approached this audiobook with a mix of excitement and trepidation. However, Mark Roeder's clever reimagining quickly won me over. The story is paced beautifully, balancing moments of tender romance with witty humor and poignant self-discovery. Geoffrey Jordan's narration is a standout feature, bringing each character to life with nuance and warmth. My only critique is that the pacing occasionally stumbles slightly during the more introspective scenes, but this is a minor quibble in an otherwise engaging listen. This audiobook is a must-listen for fans of LGBTQ+ romance and anyone seeking a heartwarming tale of love and growth.
