Would Have Been a Five

I really liked the story line plot. The narration is what kept the rating from being a five. I wish there had been a male reading the male voices.

Disappointing resolution

Slow to build and a disappointing villain. Narrator was monotone. Not my favorite but I stuck it out.

Wow that was fantastic!!

Normally I stay away from gaslighting books because they drive me crazy, the text is beyond repetitive and the plot is stagnant. Well none of that happens in this book. Like true, deeply disturbing manipulation, the gaslighting in the story is subtle at first, scratch your head, question yourself, then builds to the point that the only conclusion is you’ve lost your mind! Character development is so so good in both primary and secondary characters. As the plot barrels towards the end, the obstacle course of other plot twists, that were always in play, now explode on their own to such a great conclusion!

Amy McFadden again excels at voicing the various characters, emotional ranges and gender!!

surprise ending

This story kept me guessing all the way to the end. Quite a surprise ending.
