Woman of the Year

A Novel

By: Darcey Bell

Narrated by: Tavia Gilbert

A twisty psychological thriller about the dark side of female friendship, obsession, and revenge from the New York Times bestselling author of the “intense, captivating, and astonishing” (New York Journal of Books) A Simple Favor.

Twenty years ago, gregarious Lorelei and mousy Holly became fast friends as students in the same college psychology seminar. Taught by an expert in control and human behavior, the two students also grew close to their charismatic professor. But in one twisted moment of gaslighting, their friendship flamed out and Lorelei’s once-promising future fell apart.

Flashforward, Holly has everything Lorelei ever wanted, while Lorelei is a lonely cat lady. Now, Holly is even up for an award at a Woman of the Year ceremony, and Lorelei finally has the perfect opportunity to get the revenge she’s wanted for years. But she’s not the only person who has been obsessively following Holly’s career—and when someone winds up dead, Lorelei realizes she may be in danger, too.

Loved Woman of the Year

I was concerned about the “warning if you are an animal lover” review. Because I am an animal lover. I told myself if it got bad I would quit listening. However, the areas involving animals are not in great detail and definitely not bad. I loved the plot twists in this! Throughly enjoyed!

Plot Twists with Mental & Emotional Gyrations

Share the kaleidoscope of Laureli’s feelings and emotions as she deals with the ever changing situations she’s confronted with. The story reads like a trusted secret told to you by an.intimate friend.

A- rating

I rated it higher bc it was in plus category but it’s worth a credit. It was interesting & you wouldn’t expect all the twists & turns. Didn’t love the narration

Warning if you are an animal lover

I wish I had been warned as to the amount of animal abuse and mistreatment that was mentioned in this book. I actually was nauseated by some of the descriptions. Too many sick mind games involving mistreatment of children and animals. The narration was spot on. Book was very difficult to listen to because of the explicit nature of abuse.

Not a thriller, a book for cat lovers

If you want to listen to a subpar narrator talk about cats for 3+ hours this book is for you. No suspense.
