My recommendation is to play the sample of the book before you check it out or purchase it — not to see if you like the story, but to see if you like the narrator. A bad narrator ruins an audiobook.

If there’s a narrator you particularly like, there’s usually a way to tap on their name to see what other titles they’ve done.

Hidden Figures is a great book! I enjoyed the movie, but the book (unsurprisingly) is much better. The history is better represented in the book too.

Check to see if your public library has Hoopla as well. Lots of great audiobooks on there too.
