Don’t judge a book by its cover

Revisado: 09-21-22

At first you may think this is a silly story about a girl named Annie who is heartbroken and unable to do anything about it but you’d be wrong. This is a story about a woman realizing you aren’t “the other half” of a person, but a whole person yourself. You don’t need anyone else to make you happy, thats your job. I hope my daughter will read this book one day (quite some time from now) and learn this important lesson. Give this book a chance! Its not quite what it seems, its more!

Not What I Had Hoped

Revisado: 02-05-22

I was so excited for this book, the cover is great and its my favorite genre - a British mystery/thriller. Unfortunately I was disappointed. While the narration was very good, I found the main character's whinging to be unbearable after awhile. She also seems unbelievably naive over situation after situation. Nobody, especially a woman, could have that little intuition. About half way through I knew what was going on but had to keep listening to get the details, which didn't end up being very satisfying anyway. Overall, its not bad writing but the characters were a bit hallow and mostly unlikable.

I disagree with the negative reviews

Revisado: 07-08-21

I disagree with the negative reviews for this book, and i'm a picky thriller reader! Riley sager's writing was clear and concise, no descriptive fluff to distract you from the story line, which I appreciate. I was engaged the entire time and while I figured out some of the plot twists (I read a lot of mysteries so this isn't unusual) I still felt compelled to keep listening. I enjoyed Charlie's emotional journey and her personal growth throughout the book. Also Savannah Gilmore does an excellent job! This is a good one to get lost in for awhile.

Perfect combination

Revisado: 06-22-20

This book is the best thing i've listened/read since Circe, and I listen to a lot of books. The writing is truly intoxicating. it makes you think and question. It digs in deep about topics we all touch upon sometimes but don't take the time to unravel ourselves. I would pause and rewind certain parts just hear them again and soak them into my brain. This is a very talented writer and the narrator does an exceptional job as well, the combination is perfect. You wont be sorry using a credit on this.

Deeply complex

Revisado: 03-10-19

To say this is a deeply complex book would be an understatement. If you are not prepared to take on a story that has many unnecessarily confusing components and an alternating time line with two vastly different points of view, this book isn't for you. I'd venture to say that while the narration is excellent, this book would be better read than listened to. Unfortunately I didn't find myself attached to any of the characters as I usually do in an epic fantasy, this was the most disappointing part for me. However if you are one of those people who cares mostly about the depth and complexity of world building and you are prepared to take A LOT of mental notes about who all the characters are (they have very similar names) and where the story is going, then proceed and I wish you all the luck!
