À propos de cet audio
What happens when your worst fear comes true?
Her only daughter has just gone away to college, and Maggie O'Farrell knows she's turning into one of those helicopter parents she used to mock. Worrying constantly, texting more than she should, even occasionally dropping by the campus "just to say hi." But Maggie can't shake the feeling that something terrible is about to happen to Emma. And then, just as Maggie starts to relax, her daughter disappears.
The clues are disturbing. An empty dorm room where Emma was supposedly living. A mysterious boy described as Future Husband in her phone. Dormmates who seem more sinister than friendly. As Maggie combs over the campus looking for signs of her daughter, she learns more about Emma's life than she ever thought possible.
Kelly Simmons delivers another gripping novel in Where She Went, an unforgettable story of letting go and the secrets that surface when the person keeping them is gone.
©2019 Kelly Simmons (P)2019 Recorded BooksThe book has plenty of plausible suspects, sufficiently twisty-turny investigations x2, and a cliché-burdened but believable portrayal of college life. Unfortunately, the author makes the mother character so distinctly unlikeable that readers almost hope that she fails in everything that she tries. In addition, the character-emotion exploration is "pop-psychology"-level, and the stereotypes employed are so overwhelming that this book reads like it was written by a mystery fan (guilty of watching too much WB Network) who decided to try her hand at writing.
Likewise frustrating: reader Libby McKnight contributes to the sophomoric impression that I got from the book with an uninspired performance. Her diction, timbre, cadence, and timing are certainly professional - but her voice-acting is distinctly average (one classmate is an unoriginal "Valley Girl", for example), and her unspectacular tone fails to elevate the text.
Bottom Line: this 4.5/10-star audiobook is a reasonable distraction if you can get it as a 'Plus' selection.. but better options (than this highschool creative writing assignment) beckon if they ask for a Credit.
Disappointingly Amateurish

i fast forward many chapters but caught up quickly way down the line.
I found the story a bit confusing. I just did not like the characters in the book and never got invested.
Hope you make your own decision after listening.
Not worth a credit . I’m happy it was free on Audibles Plus.
Boring and irritating
