Pretty Little Thing

De: Kit Duffield

Narrado por: Eilidh Beaton, Ell Potter

Sometimes, when you look into your past, your past looks back at you…

It’s been over a decade since renowned author Beckett Ryan set foot in her bleak childhood hometown on the southern coast of England. When her estranged parents die within a week of each other, she reluctantly returns to bury them, only to find herself as reviled in the community as they were revered.

Of course, the locals didn’t really know her parents. Nobody did.

Then a warm welcome emerges from the sea of cold faces: Leanne. Beckett’s best friend when they were younger, and now a super-fan. Only… Beckett is pretty sure she’s never met her before in her life.

But as Beckett battles increasing hostility from the locals and the terrifying return of long-buried childhood memories, Leanne is just what she needs: a safe harbour from the storm… Isn’t she?

Unusual story

I was on the fence with the summary. I gave it a try and it was so much more with lots of unexpected twists. I will read more by this author.

Just okay

Small town vibes. The story really doesn’t make sense with why her best friend did what she did. There needed to be more of a backstory to her, besides she really loved Beckett

Gaslight much?

I don't usually like this kind of book. But something about the writing, and pacing of the story kept drawing me on. MC did some really dumb things. I almost stopped reading. But I made it to the freaking ending. Totally freaked out.

Very slow, couldn’t finish.

I listened to this audiobook for an hour and a half. The plot is very slow. Perhaps a different narrator could’ve put some life into it but I just couldn’t finish it.
