Audiobooks Like Losing Hope

Kirby Heyborne narrates Colleen Hoover's companion novel — told from Holder's perspective — with a subdued emotional restraint that serves the character's damage well. His voice doesn't perform the grief so much as carry it, which is exactly what this kind of interiority requires. At 11 hours the pacing is patient. Nine of the ten recommendations are from Hoover's own catalog, so if staying inside this author's emotional register is the goal, the list goes deep rather than wide.

How We Rank Audiobooks

Rankings are driven by listener ratings and review counts from Audible and Goodreads. Books with high ratings across a large number of listeners rank higher — a 4.5 with 50,000 ratings says more than a 4.8 with 200.

Unlike most book lists, we weight audiobook-specific factors: narrator performance, production quality, and how well a story translates to audio. A great book with a poor narration isn't a great audiobook.

We don't accept paid placements or prioritize new releases. These rankings reflect what listeners actually enjoy, not what's being promoted.

Rankings update periodically as new ratings come in and new titles are added to the collection.
