Not nearly the quality as It Ends with Us

This book was fine, but the writing seemed rushed. As a stand alone book it would have been terrible, the character development entirely lacking. It was a good follow up for readers eager to hear how Lily and Adam’s story unfolds. Otherwise, I was disappointed.

Others stated in their reviews that they were sitting on the edge of their seats, that there was twist after turn, but I found the storyline to be slow and predictable.

Really? If my son was in the hospital with life-threatening conditions and consecutive surgeries the last thing I would do is leave his side and snoop… or try to solve a mystery… or ask him stressful questions…

In the amount of time the story took place the major question pertained to a scarf. Slow. And totally unbelievable. Glad it was a free credit.

For other readers, a couple of giveaways here…

This book had a lot of potential, with a fascinating story about what’s now a ghost town in Colorado. However, as another reviewer put it, all of the characters that could have been much better developed, dropped off one by one. Each profound moment (living alone, off the land in a shack, giving birth) with skimmed over, left me on wanting. And the narrator began every single sentence with the same monotone voice. I mean, she did not even reflect any emotion when leaving her baby with someone else to take care of?!? I was hoping for so much more.

I’m glad that this was a free credit. I fast forwarded through many of the chapters and, even when doing so, didn’t miss much. This story is eye-rollingly unbelievable.

Everything about this book was totally unrealistic. I made it to the end, hoping for more, but the more never came.

While the narrator did a pretty good job, there was practically no plot. The whole storyline was so slow and predictable that I listened at 1.5 speed. Thank you for the free book, Audible.

This one kept me on the edge of my seat. I had no idea how it was going to end until quite close to the end. Well done, and fantastically narrated!

Brilliantly executed, such fun listen. Lots of twists and turns, and a perfect likeness to so many true crime podcasts. Well done! Thank you for the free credit, Audible!

I appreciate the approach of this podcast. So many true crime stories highlight the gruesome nature of the crimes committed to satiate the listeners’ curiosity. This podcast went so much further than sharing the victims’ stories by providing thought-provoking testimonies and encouraging a reframing of the world’s conception of sex workers. Extremely well researched and presented with so much empathy. Thank you.
