Those Girls

By: Chevy Stevens

Narrated by: Jorjeana Marie, Emily Woo Zeller, Nicol Zanzarella

Life has never been easy for the three Campbell sisters. Jess, Courtney, and Dani live on a remote ranch in Western Canada where they work hard and try to stay out of the way of their father's fists. One night a fight gets out of hand, and the sisters are forced to go on the run, only to get caught in an even worse nightmare when their truck breaks down in a small town. Events spiral out of control, and a chance encounter with the wrong people leaves them in a horrific and desperate situation. They are left with no choice but to change their names and create new lives.

Eighteen years later they are still trying to forget what happened that summer when one of the sisters goes missing, and they are pulled back into their past. But this time there's nowhere left to run.

As much a thriller as it is a deep exploration of the bonds among sisters, Those Girls is an unforgettable portrait of desperation, loyalty, and evil.

Meh.

Any additional comments?

I can't say I particularly enjoyed this book. The plotline was so-so, and at times I was bored.

Protagonists Can Be Very Frustrating

This book has some of the most emotional and often clueless women/teens as protagonists I have ever read of. Granted, for at least half the book they go through hell, but these women never make use of anyone who could answer their concerns, be they counselors, doctors, police, or lawyers. You would think at least one of them would be written with some common sense. Nope. I guess that's an ingredient for a good story, though, and this book is one.

caution - graphic

Where does Those Girls rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

It was a definite couldn't-stop-listening book

Who was your favorite character and why?

Probably Jessie/Jamie. She was the least dumb out of all of them.

What about the narrators’s performance did you like?

They were fine.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Listen to your mother!

Any additional comments?

I did like the book. Some portions were a bit hard, for me, in my opinion, hard to listen to, just the material of the story. I also felt like the women characters could have been a bit more wise, especially at the end. I mean, are people that dumb? Other than that, pretty good.

Recommend

Really a good read. Would recommend. Keeps you turning the pages with anticipation. 5 stars.

MUST LISTEN, 10/5 STARS!!!

I loved the narrator's tone, I was invested instantly. Reviews are so critical on the "way" the narrator sounds, and to that I say read it yourself. This narrator, however, will not disappoint.

I found the author I needed to regain my hope that there are still books to fall into. So, read or listen, just add this book to your list!

Just ok.

Honestly, I only finished this book because I paid for it. The story was lackluster and unrealistic. The ending was blah.

Visceral

Written fearlessly, but it became unrealistically repetitive toward the end. Wonderful to read a gritty woman's voice.

Good but not great

Generally I think her books are terrific, perhaps I am getting tired of the similar story lines. Book was a bit long.

captivating

loved this book is had me hooked !this book had me on edge with the drama.

Fantastic !

It took me under 2 days to get threw it. absolutely full of suspense and other emotions.
