À propos de cet audio

A gripping, heart-pounding new story from international bestseller Nina Manning.

Your best friend or your worst nightmare...?

From the moment they met as children, Sasha knew that beautiful, wealthy, and confident Caitlin would always be her absolute best friend. Sasha would do anything to make Caitlin happy.

Even keep her darkest secrets…

The years have passed, but their friendship remains. And when Caitlin announces she’s getting married there is only one choice for the role of bridesmaid. Sasha will make sure Caitlin’s wedding is as beautiful and perfect as she is. Won’t she?

But as the big day approaches, cracks begin to appear. Because no matter what Sasha does, she never seems to make Caitlin happy.

And the secrets that once bound these two friends, now threaten to rip them apart for good...

A dark and unsettling psychological thriller about toxic friendship, misplaced loyalty and secrets from the past finally being revealed...

Once you get absorbed into the characters, you become a part of their worlds. I didn’t want to stop listening. It was a great story.

Great read!

Nina Manning fashions a quite pedestrian (read: boring) scenario where the childhood friend of an obviously alcoholic spoiled trust-fund-baby harbors concealed animosity and hides a truly inconsequential "secret". What she does with that story matrix, however, is commendable. Manning is able to build tension by drip-drip-dripping revelations and dropping frequent hints that something devastating is forthcoming. The fact that the "devastating" reveal is startlingly anticlimactic doesn't change the effectiveness of the build-up.

Boldwood Books contribute to the enjoyability of the audiobook by casting Geri Allen to read it, too. Her spot-on diction, timbre/cadence comfortable for listening for hours, and pitch-perfect tone are matched with unimpeachable voice-acting. This is a high-quality listening product.

Altogether, the exemplary production values and impressive storytelling technique can't make up for a ho-hum plot, however. 'The Bridesmaid' merits 6 stars out of 10.
If you can get it as a 'Plus' option, it's not a crazy way to while away a few distracting hours.. but if they ask for a Credit, you would do better to spend it elsewhere.
