The Perfect Family

De: Samantha King

Narrado por: Henrietta Meire

Maddie Castle is broken. Ever since the tragedy that struck on her twins' 10th birthday, she's been trying to fit the pieces together, to get back to the life she led before. Maddie, her husband, Dom, and their children, Aidan and Annabel, lived in a comfortable home on a quiet street in a London suburb. Life was busy and satisfying. They were happy. Weren't they?

Now, a disoriented and grieving Maddie floats like a ghost through each day, hardly sleeping, eating, or speaking. It's easier to stay locked in her own head than to torment herself by reliving what happened. And yet, the harder Maddie tries to pin down her memories, the more they slip out of reach. Is her guilt and remorse justified? Is it Maddie's fault that everything was ripped apart?

Or could it be that the real terror is still to come?

Drags on...

There is too much run on chatter before there is anything to get you hooked in. The writer just goes on and on before getting to any interesting point. Then as it goes on there are too many necessary details that dont effect the story. It just makes it long and drawn out.

Overdramatic, drawn out & incessant internal monologue

The story wasn’t “bad” but the narrative became really annoying, really fast. The lead character narrates 90% of it comprised of her own thoughts, psychoanalysis & a sickeningly over dramatic gush about her kids & being a mother. I felt like I was living in the head of a neurotic, anxiety-ridden whining woman.

I was crying my eyes out for the last five minutes

This was an awesome book! It started out immediately grabbing my attention and never let go until the end. If you are a mom trust me, it's an emotional ride. Many times I could have punched the wall and the next thing I knew, my heart was breaking. This was a very intense book and I really enjoyed listening to the narrator tell the tale. All around, totally worth the money. 😀😀😀😀

best book

this has been one of the best books I've ever read . made me cry at the end.

A great listen

A little longer than necessary, but very good! Really delves into the human psyche in many ways. Recommend.

The title was on point

This is one of the best audible book ever! The story kept me wanting more

Good book

I really enjoyed listening to this story. I thought it was original and it kept me wanting to keep listening long after I called it a day. (I listen while I’m at work or walking my dogs). The narration was most excellent.

Wow, what a Read!

I enjoyed the story line of this book. If you're looking for a fantastic keeps you on the edge of your seat read, then this is it. I couldn't wait to find out what happened next.

It just dragged on

It was obvious from the beginning who the bad guy was. However, this book was 10 plus chapters too long. It could have been wrapped up in half the time. The unnecessary chapters just made it boring. I found myself skimming alot of chapters and not really missing anything.

suspenseful

what I liked about this book was you never knew what was coming next.
