Alice and Seth are a perfect love story: the handsome doctor and his beautiful fiancée. They’re wealthy, well liked and made for each other—the envy of all their friends. Alice can’t wait for the day of their dream wedding. But when she arrives at the altar, she doesn’t recognise the man waiting to marry her.

When this stranger insists he’s Seth, her husband-to-be, the entire congregation seems to agree. Even her parents try to persuade Alice to go through with the wedding.

As panic sets in, Alice’s world comes apart. Where is the real Seth, and why have all traces of him disappeared from her life? Fearing she’s losing her mind, she sets out to uncover the truth and escape the nightmare she’s living in. But with everyone around her convinced by the fake Seth, how can she ever hope to find the man she loves?

Went too far off the grid near end

The story was interesting and kept me listening intently hoping for something incredulous to explain what had happened but then it just got so unbelievable and beyond the realm of possibility that the book was almost ruined for me. This could have been a marvelously entertaining book if the writer had put more effort into wrapping it up with a halfway believable scenario.

Brilliant!

I loved every moment of this ride. A very unique storyline. Kept me guessing the whole time. Definitely worth a listen.

Unexpected ending

I love books that surprise me in the end and this one definitely did! The book is very easy to listen to and kept my interest throughout.

Unexpected ending

I didn't see the ending coming. It would be interesting to have a sequel to see how things progress. Katie Villa's narration was great.

Great

Really didn’t see the ending at anytime in the book. Loved it and truthfully never thought wanted it to end. A sequel??
