The Ex-Boyfriend

By: Rona Halsall

Narrated by: Katherine Manners

He promised to love her until her dying day….

When Becca’s first love shows up on her social media feed, she can’t help but smile fondly. Once upon a time Connor was the love of her life, and though it was over 10 years ago, he’s always held a place in her heart.

Then he sends her a message. He sounds happy - still kind and funny, still living across the world in Australia. But he wants to know everything about her life now. How can Becca tell him the truth? About her workaholic husband, her stressful job, and the challenges of caring for her elderly father and her longed-for, adorable, but exhausting three-year-old daughter, Mia?

Becca hesitates, knowing she shouldn’t even reply. But Connor lives on the other side of the world. Just how dangerous can becoming friends again be?

It feels harmless. Until Mia gets sick - in a way that no one can explain. And it starts to become clear - someone will do absolutely anything to make sure Becca never escapes her past....

good not great

I will say this story has very little to do with an ex boyfriend and is mostly just about being a mom. It did keep me interested but at some points I felt like I just wanted to skip forward because it went on an on without anything happening. I'm still glad I read it and enjoyed it.

What was this?

I finally had to just turn it off....I don’t know what the story was about. Just seemed like lots of talking.
