About this listen

Jennifer has a great job and a go-getter fiancé. She's on track for success, until she witnesses a fatal hit-and-run. Mistaking Jennifer for someone else, the dying victim extracts an impossible promise. Jennifer's fiancé wants her to forget the whole incident, but when she closes her eyes, she can still see the bloody face of the woman who asked for her help.

Olivia is in a rut. Burdened with caring for her brain-damaged brother and already feeling like a spinster at 27, she's desperate to escape. In a moment of weakness, she tells a lie that draws an unsuspecting paramedic into her life. As she struggles to expiate the lie, a horrible act of violence will test her resolve to be honest.

Where Jennifer's promise and Olivia's lie intersect, their lives begin to unravel.

I was hoping it would be good

Readers idea of a black southern male accent, was offensive.
The voices for female lead was bad too. They both sounded weak . Difficult to get through.

Good, but not my fave Greenwood

Good, but not my favorite of Bryn Greenwood's. I really like Greenwood's unique writing style but the story and characters didn't resonate with me as much as her other books. The ending was a little unsatisfying as well.

Read anything by Greenwood

Even this book, which is not her best, is well crafted and worth the read. Bryn Greenwood is an unusual and refreshing writer.

Tamer than her other books

This is more tame than Bryn Greenwood’s other books, but I still loved it. She is such a wonderful storyteller.

One of the most cringey narration performances I’ve ever heard

It was hard to focus on the actual story because of the stereotyping the narrator performed… as well as just terrible voices, in general. I love Bryn Greenwood and I’m sure it all meant something. But I felt lost in the story, incredibly annoyed by the narration and just eager to be done with the book.

Lame

Must be the delivery, because I really enjoy this author. Whiny baby talk bad acting. I made it through to the end. No idea why I did.
