Critic reviews

"Julia Whelan reads the novel in her low, pleasant voice, moving down a register to capture Richard's infuriating condescension and lightening slightly for the younger Emma. With its perfidious turns, this escapist entertainment is a fine example of the 21st century's more cynical version of the O. Henry ending." (The Washington Post)

"Readers who were enthralled by B.A. Paris's Behind Closed Doors and Gillian Flynn's Gone Girl will love the skewed psychology and shifting perspectives in this domestic thriller." (Library Journal)

"A fiendishly clever romantic thriller in the vein of Gone Girl and The Girl on the Train. This one will keep you guessing." (Anita Shreve, New York Times best-selling author of The Stars Are Fire)

FINALLY a book that really is as good as Gone Girl

I loved this book.... I listen to 2-3 books per week and can honestly say this is the first since Gone Girl to shock me...so much so that I needed to rewind to be sure I'd heard correctly. Don't want to go on for fear of spoilers.... worth 10 credits.... get this book!

meh

I was expecting more twist and turns. I found it pretty predictable. It was enjoyable but not memorable.

Amazing

I absolutely loved this book! I was worried about the reviews saying it was confusing but it really wasn’t, you just really have to pay attention. It was full of twists and surprises and was overall a great listen!

I wanted to like this one...

Every single time a review says "If you liked Gone Girl, you'll love this!" I end up disappointed. This time is no different. This book was just meh. It dragged on and on, repeating scenes unnecessarily. The unreliable narrator has been done WAY better and was included here for "shock" value that was underwhelming.

It felt formulaic, and I never connected with the narrator. She tolerated her non-life-threatening marriage way longer than she should have. A quick divorce would have worked better. And her husband just wasn't that scary or threatening.

If this was a first effort for these two authors, there's hope that they'll improve.

Wasted Credit

I’m shocked that this book received such rave reviews! At one point I even wondered aloud “am I listening to the same book?” I found this to be confusing until the second half. The narrator really was disappointing. I’ve like her in other books but she struggled with this one. It was just over all incredibly boring.
