    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
Maybe We Were Stars is not a book of answers. It is a quiet journey through time, memory, and the fragile space between what we see and what we understand. 
Each chapter moves through reflections on light, existence, and the strange beauty of being human — how we remember, how we fade, and how even what is lost can still shine. 
Narrated with a contemplative voice that feels both distant and near, this audiobook carries the same poetic rhythm and wonder that shaped the written edition. 
If you have ever felt out of place in your own timeline, if you have ever looked at the stars and wondered whether they were looking back, this is for you. 
Gentle, haunting, and full of quiet hope, Maybe We Were Stars invites you to pause, to listen, and to remember that even fading light never truly disappears. 
Written and edited by António Paulo Pugliese Martins.
