Book description
Letter to My Teenage Self - an audio journey that feels like a group hug
From the first moment I pressed play, Grace Halphen's idea of turning life-changing advice into spoken letters felt both intimate and communal. The narrator - a warm, conversational voice - guides listeners through a collection of more than 50 Australian voices, each offering their own "Dear me" to a younger self. It's like hearing a panel of friends in your ear at once.
The beauty of the audiobook lies in its authenticity. You hear Adam Gilchrist chuckling about his early awkwardness, Missy Higgins singing her own version of confidence, and Judith Lucy's gentle reminder that anger is just an emotion you can manage. Even the politicians and chefs-Maggie Beer, Josh Frydenberg, Jackie French-add a surprising depth to the mix. The sound quality is crisp, with subtle background music that never overshadows the spoken words.
Listening feels therapeutic: it turns the often isolating teenage struggle into a shared narrative. Parents will find comfort in hearing how their kids' challenges are echoed by national icons, while teens can hear practical advice framed as friendly counsel rather than stern lectures. The audiobook's pacing keeps you engaged, moving smoothly from one letter to the next without feeling rushed.
What makes this more than just a collection of speeches is its purpose: every purchase supports the REACH Foundation, turning listening into tangible help for other teenagers. In short, "Letter to My Teenage Self" isn't just an audio book-it's a supportive community you can carry in your pocket.

I love that ListenBook Pro allows me to customize the tone of the sound – it adds a personal touch. Looping playback is a fantastic study tool. It helps me focus and retain information effectively. Not bad, but not amazing either. The narrator’s voice was pleasant, though some parts felt a bit rushed. The story had its moments, but I wouldn’t necessarily recommend it over similar titles in the genre.
