Beware That Girl

De: Teresa Toten

Narrado por: Jorjeana Marie

For fans of We Were Liars, A Good Girl's Guide to Murder, Two Can Keep a Secret, and If He Had Been With Me comes a powerful psychological thriller with a gripping pace and Hitchcockian twists. Set against the backdrop of New York City, this compelling novel delves into the dysfunctional yet mesmerizing world of the mega-wealthy elite and will keep listeners guessing until the very last moment.

The Haves. The Have-Nots. Kate O'Brien appears to be a Have-Not. Her whole life has been a series of setbacks she's had to snake her way out of—some more sinister than others. But she's determined to change that. She's book-smart. She's street-smart. And she's also a masterful liar.

As the scholarship student at the elite Waverly School in NYC, Kate has her work cut out for her: Her plan is to climb the social ranks and land a spot at Yale. She's already found her "people" among the senior-class "it" girls—specifically in the cosseted, mega-wealthy, yet deeply damaged Olivia Sumner. As for Olivia, she considers Kate the best friend she's always needed, the sister she never had.

When the handsome and whip-smart Mark Redkin joins the Waverly administration as head of fundraising, he immediately charms his way into the faculty's and students' lives—becoming especially close to Olivia, a fact she's intent on keeping to herself. It becomes increasingly obvious that Redkin poses a threat to Kate, too, in a way she can't reveal—and can't afford to ignore. Mark has his own plan for a bright future and never doubts that he can pull it off. How close can Kate and Olivia get to him without having to share their dark pasts?

really enjoyed this book !!!

I loved it! Also I enjoyed the narrator Jorjenna Marie so much that Im reading another book that is narrated by her as well, it's really good too. It might be better than this one, but Im not finished yet.

Lousy ending!

I enjoyed the book, for the most part. It's fairly predictable--typical beach read. Unfortunately, the ending extremely disappointed me. It's not that it wasn't the ending that I was hoping for, or that it too neat and tidy for a thriller-type novel. No, my issue was that the ending was non-existant. It wasn't a cliff hanger, but it leaves questions unanswered and even creates NEW questions before abruptly stopping. Left me feeling let down.

Pretty decent

I came back to read this again after I read it years ago while I was still in high school. It was a decent read overall. I appreciate how straightforward everything is in this book. I was sort of disappointed with the ending but I don’t regret reading it again!

Was not thrilling

struggled to get through this one as it went on for an iternity. Plot was not the most riveting.

Absolutely brilliant

Where does Beware That Girl rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

One of the more entertaining and intriguing audiobooks. Phenomenal story-- unpredictable, delicate and easy to follow. A brilliant story.

Almost adult-YA read

I actually really liked this book, I saw a few reviews that peop had said negative things, but I think this book is like a mix between ya & adult fiction, and has a few instances that you wouldn't normally see in a YA. But it was narrated great, plenty of action & twists& turns to keep my attention. I was surprised by the end! But I like that! Mystery/thrillers are my fav to read. So I'd def recommend this book to my friends.

Possibly one of the best in my library

This was a really great book! Kept me on the edge of my seat and couldn't stop listening until the end

Dumb Characters

Felt like a pre-teen novel twisted into a quasi-thriller that strained credibility. Sing-song voice used for Olivia did not help. Silly and unbelievable plot.
