Publisher's summary

"As I opened the door and stepped into the humid night, her scream followed me out. But I knew there was still love for me in her heart....

"I'm unforgettable."

Paul Strom has the perfect life: a glittering career as an advertising executive, a beautiful wife, two healthy boys, and a big house in a wealthy suburb. And he's the perfect husband: breadwinner, protector, provider. That's why he's planned a romantic weekend for his wife, Mia, at their lake house, just the two of them. And he's promised today will be the best day ever.

But as Paul and Mia drive out of the city and toward the countryside, a spike of tension begins to wedge itself between them, and doubts start to arise. How perfect is their marriage, or any marriage, really? How much do they trust each other? Is Paul the person he seems to be? And what are his secret plans for their weekend at the cottage?

Forcing us to ask ourselves just how well we know those who are closest to us, Best Day Ever crackles with dark energy, spinning ever tighter toward its shocking conclusion. In the best-selling vein of The Couple Next Door and The Dinner, Kaira Rouda weaves a gripping, tautly suspenseful tale of deception and betrayal dark enough to destroy a marriage...or a life.

Waste of an audible credit

The book was hard to get through because it seemed to drag. It was quite drab and dry, didn't get to the meat of what was going on until the end of the book. I wouldn't recommend this book.

Kept me wanting more but maybe too predictable?

It was a story that kept me wanting more, and I loved that it’s from the perspective of the antagonist. However, about halfway through I felt like I had figured everything out and I kept hoping it would unfold differently.

Best Day Ever

A pretty decent thriller. Good story line, quite brilliant as well. Had me hungry to return to the book soon as possible.

Fun read!

Okay so I love a good psychological thriller... I love being sucked in by the first few pages and then swept up for a day or two in a book lala land. This book totally did that for me. It kept me wanting to continue listening until it was over. It is a fast fun read. Don’t hesitate spending a credit on this book!

Took a minute to get rolling, but it was good

This dude is a real piece of work. It was a little slow going, but I understand why so much slow build was necessary to really get to the meat of who this guy was and just how dastardly (I don't get to use this word too often. LOL) he really is.

Best Narrator Ever!!

Loved this book! Could not put it down- just creepy enough in a subtle way - fantastic narrator brings everything to life without being too graphic. Highly recommend! And- perfect title.

Creepy, well written

Good thing this book was so well written, because the main character is so nasty if it wasn't you wouldn't be able to stand to read the book.
Good character development. Sad thing is there are real people in the world like this.
well done

Surprised by bad reviews

There were a lot of reviews saying this was predictable and not to waste your time. I disregarded that and tried anyway and i don’t regret it! I thought it was interesting and kept you on the edge of your seat, constantly wanting to know what Paul would do next. I believed the narrator WAS Paul and it gave it a really nice flair. I recommend.

grabs you right away, keeps you guessing. Fun!

I did not know what to expect with this book but it really was a lot of fun to read. I really wasn't a hundred percent sure who is going to be the evil one although there were many hints along the way. There was a good twist. the ending was a little contrived but it really was sort of an addictive read. a light psychological Thriller.

Very Entertaining!

My husband and I listened to this during a road trip and laughed a lot at the ego of Paul!
