THE NOBODIES

Narrator Carmen Torres delivers this poignant audiobook about best friends with the ability to switch bodies. Jess's bold personality belies her desperation to be wanted and accepted by the people around her. Nina's caution keeps her safe but unable to advocate for herself. Swapping bodies connects them deeply, but blurring boundaries comes with its own complications. Torres gives distinct voices to each girl, but keeping each character straight between their voices as themselves and their voices as each other comes with some difficulties. A few noticeable edits pepper the audiobook. Torres's consistent pacing and emotional flexibility complement this turbulent, intimate novel, which invites listeners into secrets that can't be hidden within lives destined to continuously collide.
