About this listen

A Warm and Relatable Middle-Grade Novel About Friendship and Second Chances, for listeners ages 9–13

Summer was supposed to be simple—long days, inside jokes, and a break from everything hard.

But for Lena, Kayla, Theo, Malik, and Cam, nothing goes according to plan.

In The Summer We Got Played: This Time, We Knew Better, five friends face a summer filled with unexpected tension, mixed signals, and mistakes they never saw coming.

A new friendship stirs trouble.

A lie nearly pulls them apart.

And suddenly, trust doesn’t feel as easy as it used to.

As secrets surface and loyalty is tested, one question lingers: who do you believe when everything starts to crack?

This heartfelt and relatable middle-grade story explores second chances, honest conversations under the stars, and the courage it takes to rebuild what almost broke. Because real friendship isn’t about being perfect—it’s about showing up, even when it’s hard.

The Summer We Got Played is a warm, funny, and emotionally honest story about growing up, learning the hard way, and choosing your people—again and again.
