THE FALL OF WHIT RIVERA

High school senior Whit is still reeling from a summer filled with medical appointments and tests in this audiobook narrated by Victoria Villarreal. Whit has PCOS, a condition that causes uncomfortable body changes. All she wants is to throw herself into organizing the Fall Fest, the event at which her grandparents fell in love decades earlier. Unfortunately, she is forced to team up with Zay, her middle school crush turned nemesis. Whit has a Type A personality but is teeming with love for her two longtime best friends, her autistic sister, and her abuela. That love comes through strongly in Villarreal's friendly, personable voice. Most characters are Latine, and Villarreal smoothly performs Abuela's Puerto Rican accent and other characters' frequent Spanish phrases. S.P. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine [Published: MARCH 2024]
