Eat, Slay, Love

A Novel

By: Julie Mae Cohen

Narrated by: Clare Corbett, Katherine Press, Rebecca Norfolk

International bestselling author Julie Mae Cohen returns with a delicious new novel about three very different women and what unites them: the man they’re holding hostage

A friend will help you move on. A best friend will help you move his body.

Marina gave up her career as a chef to raise her children, but her divorce has left her harried, lonely, and the black sheep of her family. It’s also left her in dire financial straits. Opal is a post-menopausal fitness guru who spends her days chasing likes and followers in an industry that worships youth. Even her glossy online persona can’t mask her checkered past. Lilah is a shy and optimistic librarian who spends her days tending to the stacks, until she wins an unbelievable sum in the lottery. With a growing bank account and a dashing fiancé, life seems too good to be true—and it just might be.

These three women have nothing in common except for one thing: the man who’s been lying to them all … and who they are now holding hostage in Marina’s basement. As this shared secret brings them closer together, other, deadlier problems come crashing into their lives. Can they put their differences aside to save themselves—and each other?

Eat, Slay, Love is a raucous novel about friendship, finding joy, and becoming your best self, even if that sometimes involves kidnap and murder.

“[A] darkly funny thriller.”—RED MAGAZINE

A concept, not a novel

This book had a great concept, but the story was not developed. It ends abruptly without any resolution. New plot elements are introduced and abandoned within five minutes of the conclusion.

Utterly unfulfilling

There may have been 3 voice actors, but the delivery for each character was the same. Flat. I had a hard time telling one voice from the next because there was no nuance in the performance. I honestly thought I was listening to AI.

Plot points were abandoned. Abrupt ending. Zero conclusion. It was as like listening to episode 1 & 2 of a 10 part series without the other 8.
