Publisher's Summary

A completely gripping suspense thriller with a breathtaking twist

I was happy my husband died, but I couldn’t admit it, otherwise people might think I killed him. 

Before 

Olivia knows she is lucky. She has a loving husband, Frank, an adorable son, Jake, and a beautiful new home. It couldn’t be more different from her childhood on the outskirts of Whitaker, dirt poor and dreaming of getting out. But at the end of long days with no one to talk to, always feeling like she’s not quite good enough, she starts to wonder if there’s a better life waiting....

After 

Everyone in Whitaker knows who Olivia is. She’s the woman who left her family for no-good Dane Miller - and the one who most likely shot him. Now, there’s gossip about her everywhere she goes, she’s too scared to leave the house most days, and she barely gets to see her beloved son. 

How can a perfect life fall apart so quickly? And, when you have nothing to lose, how far will you go to save yourself? 

An absolutely gripping, heart-pounding suspense novel about bad choices and second chances. Perfect for fans of Gone Girl, Karin Slaughter, and Lisa Gray.

Who is this narrator?

I just couldn’t make myself to this whinny sloppy sounding narrator and returned the book.

I don’t know if I would have enjoyed the story with a different narrator or not.

Narration is so distracting.

I was switching back and forth from reading this book on my Kindle at home and then listening to it on Audlible in the car. Reading the book was enjoyable....listening to it on Audlible was not. I felt like it was being narrated by the voices of Peggy and Bobby from the cartoon King of the Hill. I gave up trying to listen to it on Audible after three attempts.

Must read!

This was by far my favorite book. I related to Olivia as a mother. I felt her pain. I hung on every word. I couldn’t wait to see what would happen next.

Very disappointing read

I was bored out of my mind . I finally skipped a dozen chapters to discover the details I was interested in.

wow!

thought for awhile u was listening to excerpts from my own life.... minus the murder....but plenty of other drama to make up for it!!! loved it

Worst Narrator Ever

This might be a good book if the narrator didnt sound like a 5 year old reading for the first time.

Where was the psychological thriller part?

If this was supposed to be a gripping psychological thriller it Never made it there. A very long story with a pretty good ending.

Wow! You think you know people but you don't.

I was so wrong about who'd killed Dane but I was not wrong in choosing to read this book. In fact, I'm still trying to wrap my head around that jaw dropping twist at the very end. This was another great read by Miranda Smith and another followed author added to my list. Make sure to add this to your library if you're looking for a good book to lose track of time in.

Choppy

Story was great but the narrator was not smooth in reading. She did a great kid voice though
