When I Was You audiobook by Amber Garza

One chilly evening, curled up in my favorite armchair with a steaming cup of tea beside me, I pressed play on When I Was You audiobook by Amber Garza. I had been searching for a thriller to immerse myself in, and from the onset, I felt this could be it. Narrated by the talented Vivienne Leheny, her voice carried an eerie undertone that set the mood immediately.

As a 30-year-old woman, I found myself drawn to the character of Brienne. Her initial ordeal itself is enough to send shivers down anyone’s spine. The thought of another person living your life, taking over everything you hold dear, and essentially erasing your existence is profoundly unsettling. The deeper I delved into the story, the more Garza’s storytelling skills shone, echoing the suspenseful tones I loved in her previous works like Unmissing and The Memory Watcher.

While the premise of identity theft isn’t new in the world of thrillers, Garza puts a fresh spin on it. Every time I thought I had figured it out, a new twist left me second-guessing. Vivienne Leheny’s narration heightened the suspense, her voice capturing the escalating tension and the mounting paranoia of the protagonist. It felt as if I was living Brienne’s fear, her confusion, and her desperation.

This audiobook is a labyrinth of deception, identity, and a woman’s fight to reclaim what’s rightfully hers. The psychological warfare and the layers of mystery kept me hooked until the very end. When I Was You audiobook is a chilling reminder of the fragility of identity in a world where appearances can be deceiving.
