In return, Olivia is a picture-perfect housewife, smiling and supportive. Until she meets Lucas’s new colleague, Natalie, and sees the flash of hatred in her eyes.

Olivia only wants to clear up the misunderstanding. But when she befriends Natalie, secrets come tumbling out that expose the ugly side of Olivia’s beautiful marriage and she realizes there is another young woman caught up in Lucas’s lies.

Enjoyable listen until the last couple hours but still worth a read!

I know some people hate it when a book wraps up too neatly or coincidentally but I don’t mind it. I read for the twists and turns and character development through out the majority of the book and this book was solid. Not much character development but engaging plot especially in the first half. Better book than average but not ground breaking

Decent story

The story was decent with good character development.
I usually like this narrator, but this time, the voices of the child and the laughter sounded demonic. Rather than simply saying the character laughed, the narrator did a cackle that was so offensive to the ears, it grated like nails on a chalkboard.,

So many twists!

I love Sally's writing! Once again, this book had me sucked in as soon as I started and I couldn't wait to see how it ended. Another home run for Sally!

Gripping and Addictive

Excellent narration and story. I really enjoyed listening to this book and highly recommend it!

The story is mediocre, but that horrible laugh is unbearable!

Honestly, one of the most annoying things I've ever heard in my life... Don't waste your time.
