narrator

the way she says "been" it sounds like "bean". very odd and caught me off guard every time

Everything you want in a thriller!

Perfect thriller to keep you engaged through all your chores and work outs! Binged it in two days.

My type of story…but

I really didn’t like the protagonist. She was mean and selfish until the end. It was hard to like her. There were good moments but overall it was meh. I would have a hard time imagining a relationship overcoming accusations and betrayal like was told.

Entertaining Story

Story was nicely written & voice acting was great! It had a good ending that tied up the loose ends & showed character growth.

Glad this was free

This grown woman made bad decisions at every occasion up and until the end of the book. I guess this author thinks women are gullible.

Excellent

This story wove both the characters and plot well! It was developed beautifully and had enough twists to keep you engaged. Well done!

I had to finish it….

But it was poorly written. I agree with the other review about the formula. Lots of incredibly cliche phrases and random rhymes throughout, “the story and glory”, disconnected moments - she was soaking wet to a point where her T shirt was uncomfortable but then when he cried on her shoulder a few minutes later he moved away and her shoulder was damp… like duh. Then there’s the narrator. Every other voice besides the main character she makes sounds stupid. It’s hard to take them serious. Tried too hard with this one. Sorry.

Average. Not bad, not great, just right down the middle.

I feel like the plot had a lot of potential, but the mark was completely missed. Fairly predictable, the past stories never did come to full fruition in the future.

I did make it all the way through, but jusy barely.

it was free

Hard to listen to the characters voices that don't fit them and sound so fake. Story lines has holes, main character is unbelievable etc.

Very twisty

Loved the plot. Never knew what’s coming next. Great on audible. Would try this author again
