One Little Mistake

A Novella

De: Lucinda Berry

Narrado por: Brittany Pressley

From the best-selling author of The Secrets of Us and The Best of Friends comes a novella of deceit, desperation, and how one little mistake can unravel a life.

When overwhelmed stay-at-home mom Alexis finds herself at odds with her husband after she’s charged with a DUI, she is given one chance to get her family back: complete AA and admit her faults. The problem is, she’s never had a drinking problem and has no idea what caused the blackout that led to her arrest. Still, she’s committed to working through the program, if that’s what it takes to be reunited with her two young children. But when she connects with a new friend, Farrah - a confident, successful powerhouse of a woman Alexis can’t help but idolize - she’s empowered to take a closer look at her husband’s role in her downfall. What she finds shocks her to her core, quickly spiraling into something more sinister than she ever imagined.

narrator ruins it.

As soon as I started it, it was the narrator that I can't stand. I can't relate to anyone who talks like this.

really enjoyed

more, more, I want more! I enjoyed this, and will look for more! thanks for the read!

Fun Short Thriller

At under 3 hours you don’t have much to lose on this story, right? I enjoyed it, the author didn’t drag anything out unnecessarily as some tend to do. Plus the narrator did a perfect job; pace, diction, and voices were on point.

It’s one of those stories where there’s more than one bad guy at times and the line between justice and revenge, friend and enemy, sanity and insanity gets blurry. I like that as it speaks to a sophisticated understanding of human nature and makes for an interesting story.

Somebody can't count

One little mistake? There were so many, I lost count. I was glad this was just under 2 1/2 hours because I couldn't have taken the shrill frantic narration much longer. Yes, it probably suited the mindset of the main character, but was still hard to listen to. It's pretty well done but fairly predictable, nothing ground-breaking.

Irritated me

The protagonist was annoying. I can’t stand the whining, a little hard to believe medically it would take someone that long to realize. I guess it’s just not for me.

Disappointing end

Started out ok, middle was fine then it just ends and the plot twist doesn’t really have anything to do with the end. Waste of a couple hours.

It could have been great

The author set up several possible directions the story could go, but instead of developing one, she gives us a story summary for the last chapter and it fell flat. Lots of build up, without follow-through. Did she get bored with writing her book and just want it to be over? That’s what it felt like.

Great Listen!!

I loved this book- the only reason I gave it four stars is because I felt left with so many questions. I wish there was more haha!

It’s short enough to stick with it but…

It’s short enough to stick with it but, not believable enough or dramatic enough to give it more stars.

I need more!

This was a great short listen for me. But I hate that it left me hanging. I want to hear more, I wanted to know what happens in the end, the story had more to tell but for what was there I really enjoyed it. There wasn't even a single spoiler, just a huge cliffhanger. Please make a part 2.
