Everything Here is Under Control is one of the best books I’ve read in a long time. It is a story of friendship, family and regret. After having a baby Amanda drives from New York to a small town in Ohio where she grew up to visit her childhood best friend Carrie. They haven’t talked since they graduated from high school and Carrie had a baby. They have a difficult friendship but this book is about if they can fit each other in their current lives. This is a story where a friendship means more than anything else.
The narration was great. I loved Madeline Lambert did a great job and I loved hearing the story in her voice.
The story goes back and forth between present day and flashbacks so you get a deep look into Carrie and Amanda’s lives and friendship. My only complaint was it was hard to determine when the flashbacks were happening in the beginning. I think this was probably because I listened to the audiobook. This is a common problem I have with audiobooks but did not take away from how much I enjoyed this book.
I highly recommend this book to anyone that likes character based stories and fiction in general.
Thank you NetGalley and Blackstone Publishing for this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

I sometimes find that with audiobooks too – that’s the hardest thing about them, is sometimes being able to tell time/perspective changes because there’s no way to denote a paragraph or page break… ANyways, glad you enjoyed this one so much!

That is very true about timing in audiobooks but the convenience makes up for it. I also think some books are better as audiobooks.
