Great once you get going

I enjoyed this audio recording. I had trouble at first. For me, there was too much character development, especially with a few minor characters. Once things get going, the story is a good one with a fun finish.

I almost gave up on this one, very glad i didn'!!!

This book goes back and forth in time which gets very distracting and hard for me to follow. It starts off somewhere near the middle/end of the story and leaves you wondering the heck really happened until the end. I guessed what happened, but not the why and how which was one of the things that made this book so great! but there were multiple other parts that totally shocked me. absolutely loved it and will listen to it again.

Great mystery

The story started off strong I love stories that catch from chapter 1. The main character is extremely vain but develops to an actual decent human. The long lost family line was a little too far fetched for me but I loved the characters. I would loved to have known alittle bit more about the diary the author kept reading. The book ended a little too quick for me but overall this was a good book and definitely worth a credit. I received this book for free for an honest review.

Not my style

I don’t enjoy spending a lot of time inside one person’s head. I enjoy interaction with characters that involve real-time conversations, not just remembrances of conversations by one person.

Great horrorish story!

The story begins and Anne confesses to herself that she killed her friend. The story is her retelling of her life after the death of Karoline. The women had been friends since they were kids. They come from affluent homes and live together in L.A. At some point they drift away before Karoline is murdered.Later revealed maybe Karoline isn't who everybody thought.

Anne is deeply depressed and doesn't know who she is or how to live without Karoline. Piece by piece what really happened is revealed through memorey fragments and vivid details. There are plenty of plot twists and crazy unexepected turns of events. Fantastic!

Decent Mystery

I was very interested at the start of 'Sweet Karoline,' but as the book went on I got sort of lost. I feel like I missed some important plot points - how did Anne find out about her long, lost family in the first place? There were a lot of crucial questions that went unanswered for me by the end of the story, to the point where I was disappointed that I hung in there the whole way through. If the story had a faster pace and a clearer plot I think I would have enjoyed it a lot more! The narration was good and helped me get through to the end.

Good book

A little scary in places, but a good story with a good narrator brings this book to the forefront. I received this audio book for free at my request and voluntarily reviewed.
