The twist

Good story got you on the edge and until the end, makes you think about who you wanna be friends with on vacation.

predictable

some of the performances seemed to get mixed up with accents. really wish they used a man for the male characters

The twist

Disliked that the ending was a little vague with detail because the rest of the book gave us so many details to have questions about.

Good listen

Entertaining, many plot twists and details added. Would recommend to others. Easy listening while working.

I loved it!

It started a little slow, trying to figure out who is who or what’s going on but then it clicked and I couldn’t stop!!!

Great voices

OK, sorry, not great. Were some twists and turns, but with the short span of the story, it didn’t develop well.

Read it!

Excellent read. Believable characters, enjoyable “could-happen” plot. Sad it is over. Off to find more by this great author!

Enjoyable Listen

This story kept my attention. It was well written and the narration was excellent. She did a great job of differentiating the characters. The ending left me wondering what will the future be for these characters.
