Eve has a good life. She wakes up each day, kisses her husband Nate, and heads off to teach math at the local high school. All is as it should be. Except… Last year, Caseham High was rocked by a scandal involving a student-teacher affair, with one student, Addie, at its center. But Eve knows there is far more to these ugly rumors than meets the eye. Addie can’t be trusted. She lies. She hurts people. She destroys lives. At least, that’s what everyone says. But nobody knows the real Addie. Nobody knows the secrets that could destroy her. And Addie will do anything to keep it quiet…

Absolutely Incredible
If you take joy in noticing the importance of small details, planted as seeds that grow into revelations chapters later that make little light bulbs go off with the physical feeling of a gut punch as realizations rush to you, then this is for you.
It's clear that every word is written with clear intent and importance and I'm sure a second listen/ read through would illuminate many more of these small moments I overlooked the first time, too focused on the amazing plot progression to reflect on each detail as much as they deserve.
The flow of the story is beautifully done through multiple perspectives, something I sometimes find jarring or rushed.
The characters are full of life and relatable in a simple and compelling way.
I felt a full range of emotions while listening and found myself not simply liking or disliking a character, but rather having complex emotional ties to each one.
The narration is wonderful.
I highly recommend to anybody with interest in the genre.

Good story & great narration!
Some of the best narration. But I found the characters talked alot to themselves in their heads before answering someone and it was often hard to tell where the thoughts ended and the real response started. I enjoyed the story but wham bam all done at the end. Anyways, it was a good book overall, the story was good, just the whole end part was too quick and not enough.

First 5 star in every category!
From the very start, the book is riveting! It's suspenseful, which at times found me impatient. It's surprising with well-developed characters & descriptive scenes. At times, I felt like I was right there, watching a movie. It was such a good book I didn't want it to end.
I've listened to many audio books. None have garnered 5 stars in all categories from me. This is the first time listening to a book from this author & it was well worth the credit. I'll be looking out for more books from her.
The different ppl reading their respective roles was a nice change from other books with one reader.
I highly recommend this book. It's one of the few that I couldn't stop thinking about when I wasn't listening, wondering what would come next. I listened to it over a few days. You won't regret this purchase.

Just get past Part 1 and it’s so good!
The book is great! It’s unpredictable until the very end and doesn’t go on unnecessarily long. My only issue was the reader in Part 1, which is about the first hour of the book, is awful. It starts fine but then gets weirdly raspy. It’s actually very hard to listen to because it’s so irritatingly fake. I almost quit the book but I got through it and the rest of the book is great and that actor doesn’t come back. Good listen!

Worth the read!
It's true that this book keeps you guessing. A few times I thought I had it figured it, just to be surprised. I do agree with some of the other reviews that the ending was rushed, I wish there was more! Overall, I recommend. Easy, enjoyable read.
