Our Beautiful Mess

De: Adele Parks

Narrado por: Kristin Atherton, Gary Turner

"Adele Parks consistently writes banger after banger, and Our Beautiful Mess might just be her best yet. Addictive and brilliant" —Lisa Jewell, #1 New York Times bestselling author

Number One bestseller Adele Parks returns with an explosive and deeply emotional family drama that explores the lengths a mother will go to protect her family, even if it risks exposing her past. Perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell and Lianne Moriarty.

Connie can’t wait to have all her daughters back home for Christmas. It’s not just the excitement of the girls being together under one roof; uni student Fran is bringing a new boyfriend to stay. The empty nest will once again be full of friends, family and young love.
Yet from the moment she sees Zac, Connie feels a deep unease. Zac reminds her of the worst mistake she has ever made: a man whose charm and good looks nearly destroyed her marriage. Then, Fran announces she’s pregnant.

Reeling from Fran’s news and terrified that her past might threaten her family’s future, Connie desperately tries to navigate a path forward. But there’s a much greater menace looming, because she’s not the only one who has something to hide. Someone in the house has another devastating secret. A deception which will put everyone Connie loves in shocking danger, and one of them will pay the ultimate price.

So Good Great Seeing These Characters Again

What an incredible book. The author commented at the end of the book that it’s her 25th year as a writer. With Connie, Luke & John being a pivotal part of her debut phenomenal success, she wanted to swing by Connie again. This book does not disappoint. It’s captivating from page one in anticipation of what/who is involved in the traumatic scene near the end. The characters continue to evolve and develop. As Connie grows, I think most women can relate. Even tho the plot is unrelenting in intensity AP still managed to create a tearjerker scene. Emotions run high throughout and the ending is a twist I didn’t see coming. Such a great book. I most definitely recommend listening/reading this latest release.

Narration was brilliant by both narrators. Kristin Atherton and Gary Turner give such authentic performances really conveying a wide array of genuine emotions.
