Story
Secrets can kill, and Danni Brooks knows that better than anyone. When her husband and two of her three children perish in a devastating house fire, Danni is sure it is arson. She’s even more sure that her and her eldest daughter, Mia, were meant to die in the fire, too. But they are just a normal family. Who would want them dead? Mia doesn’t talk. She can’t. She is locked in her own world where no one, not even her mother, can reach her.

It just kept going and going and going…
Reviewed: 03-17-22
I honestly couldn’t wait for this book to be over, JUST so I could write a review. Usually when a book is this terrible I tend to give up half way through, but the narrator was its saving grace. She had a nice cadence to her voice. Up until she was playing one of the characters… the “promiscuous” one, that is. The fist time she went in to that character I almost crapped myself. It turned from what I thought was a book about a grieving widow, to a porno! There was wayyyy to much detail, not only in the raunchy scenes, but literally everywhere. For example, “Dani found it difficult to open up the motel door. Well, not difficult as in, it was hard to open, but difficult because she didn’t want to face Mia.” It’s just messy and could have been worded SO much better. In fact, if the author wouldn’t have waisted so much time describing/defending/repeating everything she was saying and doing, then instantly jumping back in time and describing that to death too, it probably would have shaved a couple hours off this book at least! It was SO hard to follow since we have no idea who any of the characters (except Mia) are, til the very end. The main character’s name was Dani, so for the first few chapters (and even throughout this maze of a book at times,) I kept thinking Dani was the husband. I never really connected with the main character, and that’s a big no no for a 9 hour listen. The end was ok. Plot twist, of sorts. However, there were literally like 8 other stories inside this one book and Dani’s was the only one with an ending. What ever happened to Oliver? Did I miss something? Oh well. At least I finally made it to the end.

I started this book 3 times before I finally got through it. It honestly reminded me of something I would write in 10th grade AP English. It contained WAYYYYY too many similies, which made the story drag on and on as if the author had a word count to hit. She also used the same words to describe multiple different things going on within the same “scene.”
I didn’t care for the narrator much either. She paused too long at commas and resumed the sentence as if she were starting a new one each time. It was cringy, to say the least. But, I stuck it out so I could see what happened, even though I would’ve been able to tell you half way through.
Basically, it reminded me of a soap opera.

Boring
Reviewed: 07-03-21
I was literally so bored throughout the entire thing. I really wanted to know what happed, so I kept listening. Then it ended. Still bored. I listen while I’m driving to and from work and I literally had to turn the volume all the way up to hear what the narrator was mumbling, then I would start thinking about other things and miss 15 minutes of the book, and strangely enough, I was ok with that. I just wanted to get to the end.

I’m actually surprised at the number of 5 star reviews this book received. I found it to be a bit confusing, it jumped around from here to there, person to person, year to year, and if I was doing literally anything other than driving and listening, I had to rewind to see if I missed something. The story wasn’t horrible, just non realistic and far fetched. Too many moving pieces. The worst part, and I mean, grated on my nerves, sometimes startled me, sometimes nauseated me, was the voices the narrator put on to portray each of the characters. It was HORRIBLE! Young Gray sounded like an ogre at times, and Lily.. it was VERY hard to picture Lily as a pretty 20 something year old when she made her sound like a 60 year old smoker. And Alice... poor, poor Alice. I pictured her as a frumpy, tall, promiscuous, cougar. Maybe that’s what the author was going for, but it definitely didn’t make the intimate scenes easy to visualize. Ughh.

Although unlike other listeners, I didn’t know EXACTLY what was going to happen from the very beginning, but, I did have a pretty good idea. I kind of just wanted it to hurry up and be done so I could see if I was right. Which, I was. It was still a good story though.
