The Summer We Made Promises

The Destin Diaries, Book 3

De: Hope Holloway, Cecelia Scott

Narrado por: Leslie Howard

Seven summers. Two families. One beach house. And a diary that holds all the secrets.

As the sun burns bright on the white sands of Destin, Vivien's love life takes an unexpected turn. She finds herself torn between two very different men, both offering something she thought she'd lost—security, excitement, and the chance to finally choose herself.

Maggie and Jo Ellen, best friends turned bitter enemies, become unlikely allies. When they discover the last piece of the puzzle of their past, they are forced to question everything they thought they knew about the men they married. Were the promises they made to their husbands never meant to be kept after all?

But it is Lacey whose life is upended the most because of a promise she'd made to Tessa. While chasing a long-buried secret, Lacey finds herself involved in a connection that could not only betray a dear friend but also shatter her heart.

The Summer We Made Promises is a story of friendship, forgiveness, and the fragile vows we make to one another... and what happens when breaking them means risking everything. The Destin Diaries is a heartwarming family saga co-written by bestselling women's fiction authors Hope Holloway and Cecelia Scott.

Love it

The story was amazing and the performance was stellar. I recommend all three books in this series and am excited for 4 and 5

Such a Sweet Story

I loved this and the previous two in the series. Just an easy listen with some hints on being a better person.

As always, such great books!!

I was anxiously awaited the release of this book! Of course it did not disappoint!!

Sweet story

Loved the HOPE it blossoms with, hopefully another book will follow in this trilogy soon

Why do we have to wait

This series is so good. I love the friendship over generations and the intrigue of what happened.
Worse part having to wait for the next book. I’m bummed there’s only 1 more book.

Can not wait for book 4

Loving the Destin diaries, and the characters within. Amazing depths and storylines with strong women and romantic couples. I enjoy the narrator, her voices and delivery, however, not the speed. I have enjoyed all three books on 1.2 Audible speed and it is perfect. I can’t however listen at 1.0.

loved the characters

great story line. i felt like one of the family. i hate to see our journey end.

Insufferable. WORST AUDIBLE in the History of Audible. Haunts Me.

I have listened to every single Hope Holloway so devotedly that She was the inspiration of 7 vacations on Amelia Island. We will be back in a few weeks…. But it will be our last visit based on Florida deciding Vaccination don’t benefit the health of everyone.

However, it’s typical that she draws in something for everyone. The wayward son. The divorcee that friend zones the child hood crush. It’s always there. Typically I enjoy the happiness of always expected turnout. I know what will happen…. We all do.

But I cannot, and WILL NOT SUFFER ONE MORE AUDIBLE that They BUTCHER the Irish Celtic Pronunciation of James, Seamus, into C-mus into another novel. It’s shameful. Does her narrator also pronounce Sean as Seen? I can’t. Sea Mus

I want my money back. The story line is so absurdly predictable at this point I could ghost write for her, and clearly at this point she is using very cheap, AI, or TERRIBLE actors.

THIS WAS AN ASSAULT UPON MY EARDRUMS

From someone that has a daughter Fiona, a Sister Maura, Siobhan, Caelinn.

It is Shay mus. I want my money back. It was literally nails on the chalk board the entirety of the audible. You are clearly not reaching toward an educated populous. And I will never pay for another mediocre Hope Holloway again if her narrator cannot even YouTube Seamus.
