Publisher's summary

We live in a close-knit community. Thirty houses surrounding a square of garden that is perfect for our kids. We congregate here on major holidays, each family bringing a plate and sharing food and conversation. It’s in the garden that I first met her. The woman who would worm her way into my family and piece by piece tear it apart....

I should have known something was wrong from the very beginning. She seemed perfect in so many ways: She floated through the baby shower, a warm smile on her face, chatting to strangers with ease. At first, I thought it was sweet that she offered to help me, that she made an effort to get to know us, that she brought over games and knew Luna’s favorite foods.... I had no idea that I couldn’t trust another mother....

I should have known that someone would eventually discover the secret in my marriage. Why I never believe a word my husband says - and why he shouldn’t believe me. But how could a woman I only just met be the one to find it out?

If I’d known, I’d have called the police sooner.

And maybe I’d have prevented that dreadful scene. Every neighbor peering through their curtains as the sirens wailed in our street.

I could have protected my family.

I could have stopped what happened next....

If you can make it to the last 2 hrs

I struggled with this book for a while, but it got more fast paced and interesting in the last 2 hours of the book.

Great

My only complaint is about the end. I wish there was more storyline about Walt and about Lloyd. I don’t want to give out spoilers. Also the narrator IMO sounded the same with everyone and was monotone.

A thesaurus maybe?

I liked the book, but I almost hit delete when the word “envisioned “ was used over and over. A thesaurus maybe?

One of the best

This is one of the best books I’ve come across. It’s going in the archive and I’m hunting out other books from the author!

Excellent Story

I was not sure what to expect from this book but, gave it a shot. I am not fond of books that fall within Women's Literature because of all the examination of feelings and the constant what-if scenarios. This book is a mystery, a puzzle and you will never guess the end. I loved it and will be adding her books to my wish list.

The lie took a long time to be revealed

It took long to get to the twist. Some of the narrators were annoying. Lacking a quick grab at the beginning.

Many emotions

This book was an interesting read. Definitely left me speechless and annoyed. Follow closely with the different voice actors and narrations of chapters.

The narration was so-so

The story was okay overall, but the narration a little difficult to listen to. I found myself disliking all the characters but I’m not sure if this was the way the author intended them to be portrayed or if it was narrator’s inflection and voice.
