De: Bryn Greenwood

Narrado por: Nikki Zakocs

Jennifer has a great job and a go-getter fiancé. She's on track for success, until she witnesses a fatal hit-and-run. Mistaking Jennifer for someone else, the dying victim extracts an impossible promise. Jennifer's fiancé wants her to forget the whole incident, but when she closes her eyes, she can still see the bloody face of the woman who asked for her help.

Olivia is in a rut. Burdened with caring for her brain-damaged brother and already feeling like a spinster at 27, she's desperate to escape. In a moment of weakness, she tells a lie that draws an unsuspecting paramedic into her life. As she struggles to expiate the lie, a horrible act of violence will test her resolve to be honest.

Where Jennifer's promise and Olivia's lie intersect, their lives begin to unravel.

Good, but not my fave Greenwood

Good, but not my favorite of Bryn Greenwood's. I really like Greenwood's unique writing style but the story and characters didn't resonate with me as much as her other books. The ending was a little unsatisfying as well.

Read anything by Greenwood

Even this book, which is not her best, is well crafted and worth the read. Bryn Greenwood is an unusual and refreshing writer.

My new favorite author

I can’t stop reading her, everything she writes is impeccable and this story is no exception.

loved it!

the characters and story were great! I listen to all her books. look forward to more.

Boring

struggled to finish. I kept thinking something profound was going to happen but it never did. synopsis is misleading about the plot and characters.

I loved the storyline

you should get a black male to read next time, it was almost offensive

a bit of a disappointment after reading more books from this author

story line was good but felt strung along at the end with too many loose ends, I needed to know what realy happened with Olivia's brother and if Jennifer ever told her story and made piece with her advocacy for Gale's daughter and if they ever found the little girl. I feel like it just ended and narration was a little off especially for Ryndal.

Si real! I loved it!

Very realistic story. No perfect characters, no perfect ending, just real! Believable!
I will be reading all her books!

Tamer than her other books

This is more tame than Bryn Greenwood’s other books, but I still loved it. She is such a wonderful storyteller.

Not great

Boring storyline.. no real ending .. left lots to be desired and feels unfulfilling. The narrator… worst I think I’ve ever listened to. How can you be a narrator and miss pronounce words? Her idea of a southern black mans voice was appalling and you should’ve just had a black man read for themselves.
