Editor's Review ★★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

Coleen Marlo’s performance is a standout in 'The Last Summer at Chelsea Beach.' Her portrayal of Adelia is both tender and resilient, perfectly capturing the character's journey from despair to hope. The narrative's dual setting—between America and London—feels as vibrant and alive as ever, thanks to Marlo's skilled delivery. However, the pacing sometimes lags during quieter reflective scenes. Despite this minor critique, Jenoff’s storytelling is so richly detailed that it draws listeners in deeply. The production quality is top-notch, with excellent sound design enhancing the emotional weight of key moments. This audiobook is a must-listen for anyone seeking a blend of historical fiction and romance that transcends borders.
