Publisher's summary

From the author of Tell Me Lies and Too Good to Be True comes Carola Lovering's Can't Look Away, a sexy suspense novel about the kind of addictive, obsessive love that keeps you coming back—no matter how hard you try to look away.

In 2013, 23-year old Molly Diamond is a barista, dreaming of becoming a writer. One night at a concert in East Williamsburg, she locks eyes with the lead singer, Jake Danner, and can’t look away. Molly and Jake fall quickly and deeply in love, especially after he writes a hit song about her that puts his band on the map.

Nearly a decade later, Molly has given up writing and is living in Flynn Cove, Connecticut with her young daughter and her husband Hunter—who is decidedly not Jake Danner. Their life looks picture-perfect, but Molly is lonely; she feels out of place with the other women in their wealthy suburb, and is struggling to conceive their second child. When Sabrina, a newcomer in town, walks into the yoga studio where Molly teaches and confesses her own fertility struggles, Molly believes she's finally found a friend.

But Sabrina has her own reasons for moving to Flynn Cove and befriending Molly. And as Sabrina’s secrets are slowly unspooled, her connection to Molly becomes clearer—as do secrets of Molly's own, which she’s worked hard to keep buried.

Meanwhile, a new version of Jake's hit song is on the radio, forcing Molly to confront her past and ask the ultimate questions: What happens when life turns out nothing like we thought it would, when we were young and dreaming big? Does growing up mean choosing with your head, rather than your heart? And do we ever truly get over our first love?

Meh. Not as good as her Too Good To Be True

Psychotic, jaded ex girlfriend who ruins the lives of her boyfriend and his girlfriend was so juvenile and predictable. Disappointed after really enjoying her previous book!

Has Everything!

Number one, who has not fantasized about running into their ex after years of no contact!? I could just feel the tension, suspense and love in every word and description,
I have not found many books which contain such a pure and honest love story, while working in the thrill and suspense I crave. The narrators were also fantastic, there were no unnecessary political innuendos and I could just enjoy the entertainment. I wish it wasn’t over!

A Perfect Read for Escaping

While I was hoping for a twist before it ended, it was still a great and entertaining read for sure. A great summer read for the beach!

Enjoyable but hard to listen to one narrator

The story is fine - kept me guessing, but very unrealistic for the most part. The narration was terrific and saved the book - except for the narrator for Sabrina. Her voice and interpretation were so difficult to listen to and almost made me return the book.

Nice distraction

I enjoyed the performance and the happy ending. It's a good distraction from life, including illicit interactions but overall a feel good novel.
