Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Joanna Kerns delivers an exceptional performance, infusing each character with unique depth and emotion. Her portrayal of Margaret and Adam Crane is particularly nuanced, capturing the complexity of their relationship and the gradual unraveling of their world. The pacing is well-balanced, maintaining a steady rhythm that keeps listeners engaged throughout the audiobook's 2 hours and 55 minutes. However, at times, the narrative can feel overly detailed, which might slow down the momentum. Overall, Promises is a powerful exploration of family dynamics and the impact of hidden truths, making it an ideal choice for those seeking emotional depth in their audiobooks.
