Über diesen Titel
A pulse-pounding novel about a small-town business owner found dead and the teenage girl caught in the crosshairs, American Girl is the latest thriller from international best-selling author Wendy Walker.
Charlie Hudson, an autistic 17-year-old, is determined to leave Sawyer, PA, as soon as she graduates high school - in the meantime, she works as many hours as she can at a sandwich shop called The Triple S to save money for college. But when shop owner Clay Cooper - a man who is both respected and feared by many in this economically depressed community - is found dead, each member of his staff becomes a suspect in the perplexing case. Charlie must work to protect herself and her friends and uncover the danger that may still be at large in their tightknit community.
Best-selling author Wendy Walker returns with another riveting thriller, told through the eyes of an unforgettable protagonist.

Pros:
+ Great insight into the thoughts of a girl who lives with autism.
+ A powerful female narrative about a unique girl's struggle to build an own, independent identity in a small place that's too close for comfort in every way.
+ Paige Layle did an excellent job in making the story of Charlie come alive.
+ Several actors vary the listening experience and start the chapter beginnings in a dialogue-ish construction with fantastic performances.
+ The ending was unforeseen in many ways, but not unlogical.
Cons:
- I expected a full cast audiobook with a dramatised performance. This is not on the book but on Audible for a lack of proper category filters.
- The pacing. The beginning of the book gives a very engaging look into the world of Charlie and helps us understand why her life is the way it is. Her surroundings are coherently taken into account to give us the bigger picture. Unfortunately, the mid-section felt much slower due to many tangents that left the main plot and sometimes lost my attention. Then, the ending came in strongly and increased the tempo by a lot again so all in all, the pacing was not bad per se but didn't keep me hooked at all times nevertheless.
- Addressing malevolent and straight-out evil male characters in the story sometimes became a judgement on all male individuals in society and their inherent defects. This only happened in single instances and is also attributed to the protagonist's point of view and shouldn't keep you from listening.
Overall, I enjoyed this audiobook. It wasn't my favourite experience as of yet but it was definitely worth listening to.

I am autistic myself and could see some aspects that I struggle with myself and understand the others. I think the author made a good job in portraying an autistic girl.
The story is interesting and intense and I did not see coming what did come. Great surprises and events.
Also I liked that some chapters were performed as a radioplay, it worked very well and the cast did a great job in creating the illusion that they're talking with each other. I would love to see more of this kind of audiobook form.
I can wholeheartedly recommend this book, especially to those who are curious how the life of an autistic person can be.
Great book about an autistic girl and her story
