Evelyn, After

A Novel

De: Victoria Helen Stone

Narrado por: Tanya Eby

Evelyn Tester is sleepwalking through her suburban life - until a late-night phone call startles her awake. Her husband, a prestigious psychiatrist, has been in an accident. And he isn't alone.

Suddenly Evelyn's world isn't as tidy as she thought. And in the midst of it all is Juliette, not only her husband's secret lover but also his patient. If news of the affair were to get out, it would ruin more than just Evelyn's marriage. Although it's a bitter pill for Evelyn to swallow, protecting her family means staying silent - even if, as she begins to discover, the night of the accident has consequences far more dangerous than the unmasking of an affair.

But the more Evelyn learns about Juliette's picture-perfect life - complete with a handsome, unsuspecting husband - the more she yearns for revenge...and satisfaction. Her growing obsession fuels her rage, burning away her complacency. What will be left of her after it flames out?

Nothing surprising

I chose this book after reading Jane Doe which i liked due to the main characters unapologetic view of herself. This book was quite different and once again we see a middle-aged woman who gave up her personal dreams to pursue marriage , husband and kids and feels like an empty shell of what she used to be. It wasn’t a bad book, it just wasn’t a book that left any kind of impression.

Good Travel Audio

Listened to book while traveling and helped our trip to go faster. A little slow in spots and we fast forward through sex scenes. Highly recommend this book.

Reminded me of Gone Girl <br />

Slightly disappointed in the ending. Also a lot of before and after. Good narration. All in all a good lighter story than I usually listen to.

An unexpected surprise.

Finally, a story that didn't give away the ending. I loved the way each chapter was titled either Before or After and allowed you to follow the story in the present and past. A truly realistic view of how she sees herself through someone else's eyes and becomes that person, and finally finds her true self by looking deep within herself without letting others influence her.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book, the story the narration, and the characters.

Evelyn, After

I could not put this book down. It was a very interesting read. I will look for other books by this author, hoping there are others just as good. Thanks for a great read!
