Highly Illogical Behavior Audiobook by John Corey Whaley

It was a lazy Sunday morning, the kind where the sunlight filters through the curtains just enough to make everything feel warm and cozy. I was sprawled out on my couch, wrapped in a soft blanket, with a cup of tea steaming beside me. It was the perfect setting to dive into “Highly Illogical Behavior” by John Corey Whaley, narrated by Robbie Daymond and Julia Whelan. The quiet of the morning allowed me to fully immerse myself in this quirky, heartfelt story about friendship, love, and the walls we build around ourselves.

From the very first chapter, I was hooked. Solomon’s character – a sixteen-year-old agoraphobic who hasn’t left his house in three years – felt so real and raw. His struggles with anxiety and his fear of the outside world resonated deeply with me. There’s something incredibly moving about seeing someone so young grapple with such heavy emotions, and Whaley captures it beautifully. Solomon’s voice, brought to life by Robbie Daymond’s narration, was both tender and authentic, making it impossible not to root for him.

Then there’s Lisa, the ambitious high schooler who sees Solomon as her ticket into a prestigious psychology program. At first, I wasn’t sure how to feel about her motives – she seemed a bit self-serving. But as the story unfolded, I found myself appreciating her determination and vulnerability. Julia Whelan’s narration gave Lisa a lively energy that balanced perfectly with Solomon’s quieter tone. Their dynamic felt genuine, especially as their friendship deepened and they began to challenge each other in unexpected ways.

And let’s not forget Clark! Lisa’s charming boyfriend added another layer of humor and heart to the story. The trio’s interactions were some of my favorite moments – whether they were bonding over Star Trek marathons or navigating their own insecurities together. The way their relationships evolved felt natural and relatable, reminding me of those messy but beautiful friendships we all have during our teenage years.

What struck me most about this audiobook was its ability to balance humor with profound emotional depth. There were moments that made me laugh out loud (earning a few curious glances from my cat), but there were also scenes that left me reflecting on my own life long after I finished listening. The themes of connection, vulnerability, and self-acceptance are universal, making this story one that stays with you.

By the time I reached the end of “Highly Illogical Behavior”, I felt like I had been on a journey alongside these characters. It wasn’t just a story about overcoming fears; it was about finding strength in unexpected places and learning that it’s okay to let people in – even when it feels terrifying.
