Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Jaime Lincoln Smith's narration brings 'Better Must Come' to life with a raw intensity that perfectly complements Desmond Hall’s well-crafted script. Her ability to convey the complex emotions of Deja and her brother is nothing short of remarkable—her voice modulates seamlessly between despair, determination, and hope, making each character’s journey feel deeply personal. The plot is tightly woven, but there's a subtle criticism in how it occasionally relies on familiar tropes that can be predictable. Despite this, the production quality stands out, with clear audio and an atmospheric soundtrack that enhances the story’s emotional weight. A compelling listen for fans of intense YA fiction looking to explore the darker side of Caribbean life.
