Too many twists

I enjoy good plot twists like anyone else, especially in an ending. However I was so caught up in all the twists that I lost sight of the true meaning of the book. The ending felt abrupt and leaves too much unanswered in my opinion. I loved, “The Other Woman” And was eagerly awaiting this release. The performance was perfect and used great imagery, I just wish the ending gave more to wrap up the story.

Just OKAY

This book was SLOW. The storyline was decent but it took forever to arrive to the point. I found myself rolling my eyes saying “OMG GET TO THE POINT” a lot.

Intriguing and fun!

This story grasped my full attention from the very start and kept me eager to continue listening. The twists and turns are mind blowing and not how I saw the story unfolding. Great mystery and lively characters.

Good story, slow start.

Slower start but the twist truly shocked me! Didn’t love the performance, but wasn’t bothersome. Worth the read!

Entertaining....but far from fabulous.

Here's the thing... It's predictable. I had it figured out pretty much every step of the way. Maybe one surprise but that's it. The 9-year-old daughter acts like a 6-year-old, which was a bit annoying. And I swear there were some editing issues like the daughter going to the car one minute but then being next to Alice the next. I'd pass it off as me being confused but I noticed stuff like that on two other occasions. But, all and all it was entertaining enough to keep me occupied. I wasn't sitting on the edge of my seat but I didn't want to ditch it, as I've done with some other audiobooks. Entertaining...but far from fabulous.
