interesting

This was an interesting story in ways. It seemed like it was going the typical cheating husband and all that then it surprised me. I will say she kind of made a lot of presumptions with only a little bit of information. It made me roll my eyes more than a few times. Overall a pretty good read and a step above the typical British psychological thrillers I seem to be addicted to.

Spoiler Alert!

The ending was so far fetched and I likely would have rated this book higher, had JoJo made a rational, realistic choice. It was unsettling she did not even give a thought to Simon. Ugh, anyway, the plot was twisty indeed but when Suzanne locked JoJo and then Louise in the room, the reason was not given and was far-fetched because she was not "unhinged" as the author kept insinuating and then flipped a switch at the end and she and JoJo became besties. Louise's reaction, or lack thereof to the revelation and subsequent conflict was totally unrealistic, avoiding and refusing to even aknowledge her "best friend" and the utter betrayal she committed. "Friends since schoolmates," and not a single word neither in her defense or conformation and to say nothing made me want to chuck my phone out the window. So over it and not worth the money spent.

I never leave bad reviews...

I'm so disappointed at this book. very lengthy for nothing to happen and then the whole story line is at the end. Ridiculous ending. just very disjointed.

Ridiculous; silly woman and plot

This whole book aggravated me to no end. The woman cannot control herself from “blurting” her inner thoughts out loud to people. The fact that the author thinks so little of women as to think we can’t control our thoughts from being spoken out loud against our will was extremely insulting and irritating. Literally, a big part of the book was her telling herself not to blurt and shoving food in her mouth so she wouldn’t say something she didn’t want heard out loud. Just preposterous! The story never said she had any form of Tourette’s or any mental illness to explain this, so my only choice is to conclude it was poor writing to move the story along. The woman was aware she had this problem and was actively thinking how she didn’t want to say something thought out loud, yet she’s constantly doing it. Ugh so lazy and dumb writing. She was also a very dumb, naive and weak woman, and usually when reviewers say this about other characters I can justify why it was written that way, but this was over the top! I agree with all the other reviewers, the plot was also very far fetched and out there- just unbelievable and the reactions were just unrealistic. At one point this same woman is locked in a room by someone else, managers to escape said locked room, only to stand there and not immediately run out, and you guessed it, she gets locked in AGAIN! I wish I would have skipped this one. Sad thing is it had a good premise, which is what drew me in to begin with, but was too unbelievable to really enjoy the story.

Terrible

Terrible book. I wish I could get back my credit. A total waste of my time

Good . . But...

So. This began very good. And it did keep me wanting to listen to get the whole story. But I agree with some of the other reviewers. The characters were rather annoying. It was hard to get on board and cheer for any of them. Not just because you weren't sure who was crazy, but because they all were! And while there were a few tidbits that made me guess what had been going on, I did want to listen in hopes there was a crazy twist. Not really. It bounced back and forth ( which is fine in thrillers because you get fed small bits of information at a time) but even at the end it bounced back and forth to get the whole story. ugh. I enjoyed the narrator!!

Great Book!

I liked it the whole way through as I couldn’t stop listening, very catching and keeps you wanting to hear more!

Boring

Serious struggle to finish! Even the climax couldn't keep my attention. Pass on this one.

This book was awesome!

Not everything is as it seems in this book! It was very good from beginning to end. Karma is real in this story!
