2023 Audie Award Winner for Best Short Stories/Collection Audiobook

“Speak your truth.” An icebreaker leads to unintended consequences for two strangers aboard a luxury yacht in this seductively twisty short story by the New York Times bestselling author of The Good Sister.

When Ella boards a sumptuous charter off the coast of Australia, she feels…dread. Her husband, Mac, the social butterfly who makes these wellness retreats so much easier to navigate, is stuck at work, leaving her exposed to the other passengers. Luckily, she forms an instant bond with the charismatic Chloe, a newly single woman salving a broken heart. But as the friendship grows, Ella discovers they share more than the need for an escape, and their devastating connection has the power to forever alter their lives.

Uncharted Waters by Sally Hepworth is part of Getaway, a collection of six stories about dream escapes that take unimaginable, even sinister, turns. Each piece can be read or listened to in a single sitting.

Interesting take on a sort-of-thriller

First "thriller" esque book I've red in awhile, was interesting and kept my attention but not a fan of the way the story unfolded.

Pretty good

This was definitely not my normal genre of story but it surprisingly held my interest and entertained me. I absolutely loved the narrator's voice. She has an accent but just enough to make me want to listen yet not enough where I struggled to understand her. Well done!

Nice short story

It was a good short story. I was expecting more and wanted more said but it was a quick read and good storyline.

A TWISTY SHORT

Sally Hepworth creates characters who surprise us over and over, and this one was typical. I was extra surprised by this short story. No further comments so as to avoid spoilers.

Short but a great read

It was a short read, but entertaining.
I need a part 2, to this book.

What’s with all the hate?

Personally I liked this book. I don’t really understand all the negative reviews. It was a good story, easy to read, and I liked the characters. The narrator was good as well. Yes there are some LGBTQ elements to the story but I actually liked that it’s not a man and women relationship it’s something different.

all over the place

didn't even mean to download, but listened to it anyway. story jumped all over the place. and didn't jump at points that made sense. I often couldn't understand who was talking. it also didn't make sense. with every meal a weird question, but then they all act like it's been asked before, but you still answer like you didn't know it was coming? very confused by this story. snarky answers for no reason? everyone gets a long, then they dont? this story isn't provided in a presentable way for a listener.

You never know

A quick and predictable story of you will never know what you are going to discover

A nice little getaway

A quick listen. Great for a rainy day at the beach! Left me wondering what would happen right up until the end.

great read!

I enjoyed this quick read. good understanding of relationships and motives for our actions.
