Worth it - GETS better with the END

I was mildly frustrated in beginning to middle (drawn out) and then picked up in middle and last 1/3 was a home run and worth the wait. And the end even made the slow parts worth the wait! Great narration.

Disappointing . . . guessed the "twist" early on

Would you ever listen to anything by Tina Seskis again?

Probably not, since the twist that other reviewers said was such a surprise, was something I guessed within the first hour of the audiobook. Through the next several hours, I kept imaging other interesting / shocking things that could have been great twists, and was really disappointed when none of those happened. Also, the whole story was too depressing, which doesn't bode well for any of the author's other books, and several events in the story that could have been interesting, were too quickly glossed over. I certainly won't be rushing to check out her other works.

Any additional comments?

I often listen to audiobooks while driving, and this one was often hard to hear over the road noise even with the volume all the way up. I had to keep re-listening to sections when I wasn't driving - which I wouldn't have minded as much if it had been a better book. I haven't had this problem with other audiobooks I've gotten from Audible, so it's probably the volume leveling on this specific book.

Didn't See That Coming....

Excellent debut novel by Tina Seskis. I myself did not see the ending coming. Some may not like the device used for this, but i loved it. I won't elaborate further as to not spoil, but i thoroughly enjoyed this novel. Excellent narration as well.

Great story! Kept me guessing.

I really enjoyed this novel and thought the performances were excellent. I will recommend to others. Look forward to more from this author.

Great story

This one was really gripping, with some clever twists that took me, a seasoned writer, by surprise. I love it when that happens!

Perfect and gripping.

This book is by far my favorite read of the last 12 months. I so wish she had written more in english for I would read every single one of her works.
It was very difficult to put this book down, as mysteries and fascinating twists unfold with intriguing and delicious timing.
It ended all to soon but what a great ending!
Thank you,

Must read!!

This was a book that I found difficult to follow in the beginning. It kept switching around- going back to the past then present. But once I got into it I couldn't stop! I wanted to listen to it all the time. Very enjoyable and all of the characters were well-developed and likable people.

Tear-jerker

Based on the reviews I read, I was eager to see how the story would unfold. It is true, the beginning is a bit slow. I was not prepared for the dramatic, emotional ending. So, you have been warned. I wish stories like this came with a disclaimer. Something like, "Warning: if you have had children in the past two years or you are currently pregnant, do not read unless prepared to cry your eyes out." The story-telling was amazing. I was really able to connect with each character. All in all, it was a good listen.

Great listen!

Fantastic storyline, keeps you on the edge of your seat. Big twist at the end! Highly recommended to readers who enjoy suspense filled emotional stories.

Many pleasant surprises.

Glad I took the chance. .. A great read. Kept me interested from the beginning.
