About This Audiobook

Paisley Donovan didn’t sign up to be fragile, but after her sister’s death—especially with their shared heart condition—her parents, therapists, and even her best friends have consigned her to a life of caution. *Eyes Turned Skyward* is Rebecca Yarros’ bittersweet, often hilarious refusal to let heartbreak or hospitals dictate another person’s story. This isn’t a tearjerker in disguise; it’s a defiant invitation to burn bright even when the world wants you to dim. The prose crackles with wit and warmth, turning Paisley’s Bucket List—a list of experiences her sister never got to have—into a rallying cry for anyone who’s ever been told ‘no’ by fate. Expect motorcycle rides, questionable karaoke, and a love story that unfolds against a backdrop of starlit skies and second chances. It’s the kind of book that makes you want to tattoo your own list to your wrist and start checking boxes immediately. The dual narration by Carly Robins and Teddy Hamilton is the whipped cream on top, flipping effortlessly between Paisley’s snarky, impatient voice and the swoon-worthy cadence of a swoon-worthy love interest. You’ll finish this one breathless, heart full, and plotting your own reckless adventures.

Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

I’d been warned about the emotional gut-punch potential of *Eyes Turned Skyward*—and okay, sure, there were sniffles, but what stuck with me wasn’t the sadness. It was the unapologetic joy. Carly Robins nails Paisley’s voice: sharp as a switchblade but softening whenever she talks about her sister, her love of the sky, or the way her motorcycle feels beneath her. Teddy Hamilton’s performance is the audiobook’s secret weapon; his portrayal of Liam is so achingly earnest it’ll ruin you for subtlety. That said, the pacing stumbles a bit in the middle act when Paisley’s Bucket List becomes more about checking boxes than savoring moments. Small nitpick, but the audiobook’s 11-hour runtime amplifies it. Production is seamless—no overdone sound effects, just clean, immersive audio that makes Liam’s accent feel like a hug. If you’re after a romance that punches above its weight in humor, heart, and adventure, this is your ticket. Warning: May cause spontaneous sky-gazing and reckless life decisions.
