Publisher's summary

From the internationally best-selling author of The Perfect Girlfriend.

Two women. A dying wish. And a web of lies that will bring their world crashing down.

Nina and Marie were best friends - until Nina was diagnosed with a terminal illness. Before she died, Nina asked Marie to fulfill her final wishes.

But her mistake was in thinking Marie was someone she could trust.

What Nina didn’t know was that Marie always wanted her beautiful life, and that Marie has an agenda of her own. She’ll do anything to get what she wants.

Marie thinks she can keep her promise to her friend’s family on her own terms. But what she doesn’t know is that Nina was hiding explosive secrets of her own....

An Okay Listen

Thought the premise was good; unreliable narrator used well. Pretty good story-good beach read/listen. Kept me interested.

Reader

For the most part the reader was good, not great, but good. However some the characters were just plain awful. Good twisty story though!

An excellent story!

Very twisted and pushes you to the edge of your seat, wanting to hear more, to learn what happens next. While not for everyone, I highly recommend it.

Disappointed

I pre ordered this book because I very much enjoyed the author's first book, The Perfect Girlfriend. What a letdown. The story was poor, the characters uninteresting. Overall I would say don't bother.

Don't do it!!

My friend and I were listening at the same time and agreed that we kept listening only because we wanted it to end. The story is convoluted and confusing with alot of superfluous stuff. I'm reading her book, The Perfect Girlfriend, which is a much better, story, with a main character I can at least sympathize with. This one was yuck!
