Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

The narration by Angel Pean as Erykah and Bahni Turpin as Layla is nothing short of spectacular. Both bring such authenticity to their roles that you can almost feel the tension between them. The story’s pacing is perfect, with moments of quiet introspection seamlessly transitioning into emotional outbursts. While the book does a fantastic job at exploring themes like friendship, responsibility, and self-discovery, it sometimes struggles to balance Layla's narrative without overwhelming Erykah's. This imbalance adds a layer of realism but can make certain scenes feel rushed. Overall, Unexpected is an audiobook that will keep you hooked from start to finish.
