There's a stranger living in Kimber Hannon's house. He tells the police that he has every right to be there, and he has the paperwork to prove it. But Kimber definitely didn't invite this man to move in. He tells her that he knows something about her, and he wants everyone else to know it too. "I was there. I saw what you did." These words reveal a connection to Kimber's distant past, and dark secrets she'd long ago left buried. This trespasser isn't after anything as simple as her money or her charming Craftsman bungalow.

Publisher's Summary
Suspenseful and cinematic, New York Times best-seller Bittersweet exposes the Gothic underbelly of an idyllic world of privilege and an outsider’s hunger to belong.
On scholarship at a prestigious East Coast college, ordinary Mabel Dagmar is surprised to befriend her roommate, the beautiful, wild, blue-blooded Genevra Winslow. Ev invites Mabel to spend the summer at Bittersweet, her cottage on the Vermont estate where her family has been holding court for more than a century. Mabel falls in love with midnight skinny-dipping, the wet dog smell that lingers near the yachts, and the moneyed laughter that carries across the still lake while fireworks burst overhead. Before she knows it, she has everything she’s ever wanted: friendship, a boyfriend, access to wealth, and, most of all, for the first time in her life, the sense that she belongs.
But as Mabel becomes an insider, a terrible discovery leads to shocking violence and reveals what the Winslows may have done to keep their power intact - and what they might do to anyone who threatens them. Mabel must choose: either expose the ugliness surrounding her and face expulsion from paradise, or keep the family’s dark secrets and make Ev's world her own.

Slow to connect with the story and characters.
What disappointed you about Bittersweet?
It took a very long time to get to the "mystery". The book was overly descriptive of the opulent lifestyle and very little of the heroine's background.
Has Bittersweet turned you off from other books in this genre?
No
What didn’t you like about Cassandra Campbell’s performance?
I had no problem with the performance. At times I was getting bored but it was not due to her performance as much as the material.
What character would you cut from Bittersweet?
None
Any additional comments?
Overall - it took a lot of effort for me to continue to listen to the book. I am glad I finished it but - it took a lot of time to get to the meat of the story.

Any additional comments?
I enjoyed everything about this book-could NOT put it down during the last 4-5 hours.
That being said, what was especially outstanding was Cassandra Campbell's narration. She took an excellent book and made it really superlative with the reading! Perfect summer read. It even takes place at a "camp" by the lake

What about Cassandra Campbell’s performance did you like?
Cassandra Campbell has a lovely voice. Her talent was wasted on this.

Soap Opera
This is not a triller or a page turner. The characters are not likable and the story drags for too long into a soap opera like drama and dialogue. The tone on the narration also doesn't help. they all sound like abnoxious brats or from some 50 shades of grey style novela) I don't get the praise in the media, about to return this one :(

Worst narration ever!
I tried three times to listen to this book, but gave up and will read it in print instead. This narrator is so bad , she grates on every last nerve. She reads dialogue like every sentence is a pleading whine, and the last word is ground to a gravelly end or hard long consonant. I can't get into the story because her reading is so distracting.

Yuck
This story was very long and drawn out and really needed someone to condense it. Not really sure why so many good reviews for this book because it took too long to get anywhere and by the time it got there I wasn't interested anymore. Only really why it's getting two stars is because she finally wrapped it up and it wasn't that horrible. Still not sure why we needed to know everything she through in there and the lead wasn't sympathetic and did things you didnt' understand until we got the explaination AT THE END. Don't waste your time.
