Glad this made it to Audible

The audiobook version of I Promise to Be Better makes an already powerful story hit even harder. Hearing it brought to life adds a whole new layer of emotion and depth. Erinn Keala picked the perfect voice to tell this story—one that captures every bit of the emotion, the tension, and the quiet moments in between.

This book is raw, real, and sometimes tough to sit with—but that’s what makes it so compelling. Even if you haven’t been through something like this yourself, it makes you think. As a man listening to Emily’s story, it’s interesting to hear the other perspective—to get a clearer picture of how these situations unfold, how someone can rationalize staying, and how manipulation isn’t always obvious from the outside.

If you’re looking for an audiobook that feels real and leaves you thinking, this is it. I’m so excited this book has been brought to Audible and hopeful that more people who need to read it will have the opportunity.

Emotionally Gripping

The first quote had me crying. And that’s just the start. As someone who has gone through and come out the other side of a toxic relationship, this book takes you through all the emotions. The journey feels like your own and can help process and validate a lot of what you went through on your own. Reading the book is one thing, but listening brought out even more emotions. Erinn Keala wrote a beautiful masterpiece of hurt and healing. I highly recommend.
