- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The middle is intentionally mediocre and the end is worth sticking around for.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The book itself is alright - though it took a little too long to get moving. I almost lost interest multiple times early on, but I continued because of the good reviews and the description as a “thriller.” It was alright in the end, though a little abrupt.
My chief complaint is that the narration is just awful. That voice! When she’s reading from a woman’s POV, it isn’t terrible, but when the narrator puts on her “man” voice, it is dreadful!1 person found this helpful
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Great narrator who kept me listening long past the point I would have closed the book.
As for the story itself?
Yuck yuck yuck! It started off so strong but slowly fell further and further off the rails until I kept wondering what in the hell I was reading. Awful characters, beyond moronic protagonist and “twists” that you already saw coming but will stay make you want to throw your phone at the wall.
Ugh, this put me in a bad mood.1 person found this helpful
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Boy oh boy, not sure how to write this review as I am quite annoyed. When it got to the last 14 chapters I started to see where it was going and indeed I was right. A lot of the premise of this story once you get to the twist is really ridiculous. Also, I thought all along that Adam was an incredible wanker. Emily goes on about how much she loves him but why? They don't even seem to have much of a relationship other than sex and even their sex is not always reliable. I am glad this was a short story and it was wonderfully narrated but man this book is leaving me with a burning pit in my gut. I am just so irritated with the whole book now that it's finished. The best take away from this story is, girls make sure you know what you are getting into when you fall in love. Emily should be wearing a big dunce cap and god help poor little Poppy!
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5The ending is great, but it’s not worth reading the whole book for. It was very predictable and non-imaginative up until the last 20 pages.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Very good, not what you expect, nicely done, loved it
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Wow, a really good read! Watch out for unexpected plot twists!
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Okay I was skeptical about this book at first. Literally a book of "cat and mouse" back and forth throughout the book. Interesting enough to keep me going until the ending. The ending part of the book had me like what. How can a mother cover up for her son for so long that it becomes chaotic. There's no way I could cover up my child after he kills someone. Then you act crazy over his girlfriend and not tell her what is going on or what has happened in the past. Overall an okay read.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Amazing book from start to finish it had me hooked. Loved the ending a great twist
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I thought the ending was good, but most of the time I wasn’t super excited to keep reading. I felt like the characters were pretty illogical and it was hard yo believe their situation.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5what was this? i hated this book with a passion. i can't believe that Reese Witherspoon chose it for her bookclub!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A bit long, but great ending. Recommend as a beach read.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Well written with a great twist ending. I love it!
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Completely predictable the whole way through. Unoriginal and cringeworthy writing.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Wow, how does this get good ratings? I found it horribly boring and super predictable/cliche.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book was so good. With so many twist. I am a big fan! Bravo!! I was on the fence at first but,so happy I stayed with it. Read it, you’ll love it!!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Interesting read. Looking forward to The Half Sister by the same author.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Great twist didn’t see it coming! I just had one question that I would’ve like addressed but that’s ok
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The book has twists and turns to the very end!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Fantastic twist !!! Read this in one day , absolutely couldn’t stop listening. This book will have you cussing at the bad guy and have you verbalizing trying to tell the characters what to do lol awesome read !!! If you enjoy psychological thrillers this would be a must read !!
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5a little long & slow. unlikable main characters. somewhat predictable ending
(the reader is very good tho) - Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5I am addicted to audio books but this one did not do it for me. The story line and the narrators voice put me to sleep. I lost interest half way through chapter two
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5everything especial the twist at the end... loved this book so much
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Loved this book.The ending was a surprise.I recommend this book.
