Predictable

I’m not the sharpest tool in the shed when it comes to whodunnits, but even I saw the resolution to this story a mile away. If you aren’t being nudged about the protagonist’s troubled relationships (red herrings), there is the tragic childhood that is drilled into the reader throughout. In spite of also being told repeatedly that she is strong and does not brook any BS in a relationship, nothing is ever resolved, but she is left feeling “emotionally vulnerable” what seems like every other page or often enough to cause a reflex tic to develop by the end of the novel. I’m not sure if this tic was my body subconsciously trying to gouge my ears as a means of self protection or simply a benign reaction to a trigger. Either way, I am glad this is over.

Liked the story, loved the performance

Out of all the audiobooks I’ve listened to Tamsin Kennard is by far the best narrator. I enjoyed the story and the characters as well. I would definitely recommend it.

Horrible leading lady

I absolutely hated the main character. I kept listening because I wanted to see how it ended and was expecting some big shocker at the end which the author didn't deliver.

VERY ENJOYABLE LISTEN!

I absolutely loved this book, I was constantly wondering what Alex (the main male character would do next. I’ll admit it gets to be the same routine between Alex and Hannah (he’s a totally obsessed boyfriend) butttt either way this book will keep you on the edge of your seat, just have wait till the end chapters for the real twists. Sue Watson is an amazing writer paired with Tasmin Kennard one of my absolute fave narrators!

woah! what a read!!

this was an amazing book full of twists and keeping you on the edge of your seat

a snore i

Finally at chapter 5 I had to stop and move on. obvious who did it would be Alex unless there is a curve I missed. too boring to keep reading.

Interesting Twist

I enjoyed the story but need to be honest and say it sure pushed a lot of buttons as I was in a relationship for far too long with a very controlling individual. This story really resonated with me. For anybody that has a few of these situations happening in their relationship, I strongly suggest you get help immediately or get the heck out. In any case, it was a good story, great performance and certainly a little bit of a twist.

Can I get my credit back?

I felt like I was on an extraordinary long phone call with 'that friend' who's always complaining and struggles to see their value, over and over, like a baby doe lost in the woods. The friend who's phone calls you ignore 9/10. Honestly, I didn't finish the book. The workout my eyes got from the extreme rolling while listening to these shenanigans was all the exercise I need for the year, thanks.

Gripping

Really enjoyed this book! It had me on edge the entire time. Recommend if you enjoy thrillers.

Deeply frustrating for 10 hours.

I was frustrated nearly the entire time listening to this book. I felt committed to finding out what would happen, but listening to 10 hours of repetitive, unending emotional abuse was absolutely not worth the ‘big’ finish. I just don’t believe that a trained social worker would repeatedly identify blatant disturbing behaviour and then say “maybe I’m just overreacting” about a thousand times in three months.
