We'll Always Have Summer - An Audiobook Review
If you've ever listened to a story that feels like a warm beach day on your ears, "We'll Always Have Summer" is exactly that. Jenny Han's final chapter in the beloved Summer I Turned Pretty trilogy comes alive when heard rather than read, and the narrator's voice turns every twist into something almost tangible.
The plot is familiar - Belly must choose between Jeremiah, her steady love, and Conrad, the one who once stole her heart away. But the magic of the audiobook lies in how the characters' emotions are carried through the soundscape. The narrator captures Belly's inner turmoil with a subtle tremor that makes you feel her hesitation as if she were right beside you. Jeremiah's calm confidence is voiced with a reassuring tone, while Conrad's desperation rings through when he finally musters the courage to confess his love again.
One of the most compelling aspects of this recording is the way the pacing mirrors the book's rhythm. Jenny Han's lush descriptions of summer beaches and family dynamics are translated into gentle background music that feels like a cool breeze on a hot day, keeping listeners engaged without overwhelming the story. The narrator's clear diction and natural inflections let each character stand out distinctly, making it easy to follow the emotional stakes.
Listeners who have followed Belly's journey from The Summer I Turned Pretty will find this finale satisfying yet bittersweet. Those new to the series might wonder what makes this audiobook special, but even first-time listeners can appreciate how the audio medium adds depth: you hear the sighs of longing, the quiet humor in the Fisher family's banter, and the gentle hum of a summer night that ties the narrative together.
In sum, "We'll Always Have Summer" is more than just an ending-it's an experience. The audiobook turns a familiar story into something fresh, letting you feel every choice, every heartbreak, and every hopeful moment in high-quality sound. Whether you're on a long drive or winding down before bed, this recording invites you to relive the last summer of Belly's life with the warmth of a real seaside afternoon.

With ListenBook, every moment is an opportunity to explore new stories and gain knowledge. A functional audiobook production that met basic requirements. The narrator's voice was pleasant enough to listen to for extended periods, though their performance didn't add much interpretation to the text. The audio engineering was competent without being remarkable. It was fine. The narrator did an adequate job but nothing about the performance particularly stood out to me. Got me through my commute though.
