#AudiobookReview: The Atlas Keeper by Gail Anderson-Dargatz

Book Cover
Synopsis: For fans of Cassandra in Reverse by Holly Smale and The Midnight Library by Matt Haig, a young woman finds a magical atlas that can transport her both backward and forward in time

Every life follows a path. Elsie has just found the map to hers.

Elsie Campbell’s life has stalled. Since her mother’s death five years ago, she’s lived in her sister’s basement in the same small town where she was born. She has no real friends, no romance and spends her days crunching data for her dad’s mapping firm. And now, as her sister marries, she’s about to lose her home.

The day after a solar eclipse, Elsie hikes to the lookout where her mother died. There she finds an atlas filled with maps and astrological charts that have the power to send her to twelve turning points in her life. In visiting the past, Elsie makes surprising discoveries about herself. But she can also visit the future—which leads to unexpected consequences.

When the atlas leads her both back to her old boyfriend and toward a new love, Elsie finds herself at a crossroads where she must choose between a familiar and nostalgic road or an uncharted path. Can she really change the course of her life? And should she?

My Review:

The Atlas Keeper was a fun concept and made for an interesting audiobook. I liked the idea of Elsie being able to revisit different points in her life and see how her choices could shape the future. There were some really thoughtful moments along the way, especially when it came to grief, relationships, and finding your own path.

It was a solid listen, but it didn't quite become a favorite. If the premise sounds good to you, I’d say give it a try.
