A single phone call can destroy your life.

Joey Clarke has been responsible for his family since he was just fifteen. Ten years on, his only pleasure is spending time with bubbly Becca, his best friend… and the secret love of his life. She’s his only escape from a dead-end job, ever-increasing debts and the fear that enforcement agents will knock on the front door any day.

So when a phone call brings Joey the chance to ease his family’s financial burdens, he grabs the opportunity — even though the bags he’s delivering seem suspicious. What he doesn’t know can’t hurt him, right?

But Joey soon finds himself party to a crime that turns Becca’s life upside down, and he panics.

Should he confess to the police? Tell Becca? Or keep quiet and hope for the best? After all, the only woman who knows the truth may never speak again…

Just didn't pull me in

This was a bit slow and muddled for me. I don't think the narrator's voice helped either. The story was just ok. I liked the ending, but the bulk of the story just didn't and couldn't keep my attention.

Great book

Was always something going on, and it didn’t always go how I thought it would. Well worth the listen.

Great storyline

Super quick read, great story line so many twists and turns which I love all the way to the last chapter
