Hard time listening

Revisado: 12-18-21

I really don’t have anything too helpful to say other than Esmee’s accent is but horrendous and hard to listen to. I don’t understand why they’d hire someone with that accent. It’s so unpleasant. I’m sure this sounds like snobbery, but I’m not British. Also, Zachary is such an annoying little brat and Owen is just really hard to take. I haven’t finished the book yet but, for these reasons, I might not be able to finish.

Spoilers - but also a warning

Revisado: 05-12-21

I could have vomited several times while listening to this book. What the villain does to the baby, bear, is... I couldn't listen to it. It made my throat close up. I have a baby, so maybe that's why. But if you're sensitive or if you have a baby, I'd pass on this. The sickness is beyond the pale. It could SERIOUSLY trigger someone.

Skimmed the surface

Revisado: 07-28-20

Honestly, this book has a fascinating premise and so much potential, but it barely develops or skims the surface of Essie's character/story. Instead, we're subjected to Liberty Bell's story, which should be a book on its own. Right now, it's just a distraction.

We never really get to know anyone in this book. The characters are flat, but my god, there was such opportunity here to write such complex and fascinating characters. Overall, reading this book felt like reading the cliff's notes of a much more interesting story.

Meh

Revisado: 07-23-20

The main character, Charlotte, was flat. The depiction of wealth was cliched. The story was convoluted, and frankly, not very interesting. The characters simply weren't complicated enough. It's almost like a YA book.

Really maddening book

Revisado: 10-29-18

I usually agree with the majority of reviews on audible, but reading this book was a miserable experience. It's tiresome, rambling, manic. The narrator is a victim, but her character veers between two personalities in an unrealistic way. I love sick thrillers, but this isn't a thriller really. There's no mystery here. This is horrible abuse and it's apparent throughout.

Entertaining but lots of fat shaming

Revisado: 09-02-18

Really an enjoyable book but filled with so many cruel fat jokes I could barely listen. This isn't just that whole cliched chick lit humorous fear of eating carbs thing. This is full on hatred and disdain on the part of the main character for another character, Martha. It's not in anyway a social critique either (Emma never really learns); it takes what was already frankly lowbrow (though enjoyable) and makes it even more so. It's in terrible taste and shame on the author.

That was a bit much

Revisado: 04-24-18

I think the author got a little carried away with plot here. Too many coincidences. Too many plot lines. Still an enjoyable listen, though.

Not her best

Revisado: 04-15-18

Is it just me or is Tilly an absolute moron? Her level of stupidity seems unbelievable to me, but it drives the plot, which then makes the plot feel ridiculous.

Xe Sands' voice...

Revisado: 03-16-18

Xe Sands' voice is so annoying. I loved this book and the last two by this author but Xe Sands bizarre cadence is really working on ruining these for me.

UGH What did I just read?

Revisado: 02-19-18

What was most disappointing about Robyn Harding’s story?

Jeez, what a convoluted downer that was. Everyone was awful, nothing was interesting, and the experience of taking it all in was miserable.

Any additional comments?

Avoid.
