Publisher's summary

Stella McKinney has a great life. With a Malibu beach house, doting husband, and a flourishing business, everything is coming up roses - until it isn't. When her beloved husband Grant begins behaving out of character and devoting more time to his career, Stella has reason to question his fidelity for the first time in their marriage.

As Stella's quest for the truth morphs into a sick obsession, the last thing she expects is a perfect stranger to show up at her door, a beautiful woman who knows intimate details about Stella and Grant that no one else could possibly know.

With her marriage and idyllic lifestyle at stake, the only way to uncover the truth is to ask herself how well she really knows her husband - and ultimately, how well she knows herself. And as Stella discovers, sometimes the truth is downright terrifying.

Just ok

It’s not a bad story, great because it was a free listen. There are a couple twists at the end.
Overall the story was just ok.

An insult to logic

This was so bad. I try to finish all my books and have done so in about 90% of the times. This one, though, stretched my resolve.

It’s so illogical with a plot line that would only work if the characters were babies incapable of basic acts of self-preservation. Without giving too much away, there’s a hospital scene that would seems designed to make you cringe. No one - ABSOLUTELY NO ONE - with any desire to protect their welfare would act in a manner that any of these characters did.

The characters are paper thin. The plot line an inconvenience that the author sometimes forgets about completely and the reader is asked to completely forgo reason and sense in order for it to work.

Waste of my time frankly.

Couldn't wait for the end

This book was oversimplified in some areas and should have been developed more in others. The main character was so simple it made me want to stop listening at times. I am just happy it's over.

Wow, never saw it coming

Really great book with a twisted plot you’ll never see coming. When you think it’s one thing, it twists to something completely different. I highly recommend it!

What A Twist

If you feel like you're being gaslit by this story, it's because you are. This story did such a great job of making you question what you just heard, so many times I wanted to punch the characters in the face! very well executed.
