Can you really know anyone? When Echo's fiancé dies she is faced with the possibility that he cheated on her, and maybe something worse. A dysfunctional family appears to stand in her way to finding the truth. Again, Demeester is able to make her characters both evil and sympathetic at the same time. I received this audio book from the author through Booksprout. Although I have read the book, this audio is excellent. Katherine Weber, the narrator, puts true emotion into the narrative.

Rejected by R. M. Demeester is a good thriller/mystery. Katherine Weber did a great job with the narration. This story is not what I expected. A woman’s fiancé dies and she finds out things she didn’t want to know about him. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review. Highly recommend

The scandal and betrayal!!!! I didn’t see that coming. I do find myself thinking are these people for real? The characters did annoy me, they seemed very immature. The narrator talked too slow, but when I used a faster speed it was much better and she did a good job at putting emotion into her reading. The plot and twists were great! Overall the story was good.

~ I read this book in audio format and am reviewing it as such~

☆I really wanted to love this book due to loving some of the other works by this author along with holding similar life events. This book unfortunately felt limited in depth, and I walked away hoping for a more polished ending. I liked the book and felt it to be a quick read.

☆The intro audio would not have been a selling point for me in initially picking up this book, but I am glad I continued on. That initial scene, though, is a heartbreak I'm all too familiar with. A mother I've known my whole life, but at times, I feel like a complete stranger. The conflicting thoughts roll inside the mind as you cross paths in person. That is what captivated a soul from a busted up life.

☆The first chapter has me annoyed at the character/fiance as she makes every excuse in the book, brushes things off, and holds such naivety that I want to scream at her to realize instantly---
Then the news comes... and more news. The suffocating weight, grief, and rage seething through.

♡It's easy to judge Echo.. dead-end roads and bank robberies... a family filled with rejection (her mom) seemingly associated with a bad crowd. I'd say luck just purely rejects Echo at this point. Multiple eye rolls were had by this reader.

☆The emotions I felt for Echo were intense, unexpected, and heartbreaking. That urge to get an apology after such life altering hurt. The helplessness in not knowing what would be a "solution" to repairing the mother daughter relationship. Wanting so badly to hold onto the beliefs you have of those you love. But, it doesn't change the lies and danger that lurked in the background.

♡ A mother and daughter putting their differences aside shows how having one person is better than nobody at all. The sad reality in question of wondering how much we actually know people. You want to desperately believe and hold onto "the good,... but that's never what reality has in mind.

My main critique was the voices used for the characters in this book. It was hard to decipher who was Echo and who were the others at times. The childhood flashbacks were also a struggle to decipher which sister was the focus. The scene of Echo's parents arguing and Evie leaving was also difficult to follow in the audio, but it eventually made sense.
The second thing I struggled with was Raya and her voice in this book... it was too childlike but detached from the emotional potential. The desired "vengeance" against Echo didn't come through emotionally.
Lastly, I felt the "big news" was a bit repetitive and underwhelming as it dragged out in a way that didn't match the maturity of Echo and her mom. Echo continued on the scene with an anxious ridden chaos that felt like "it was already answered." Maybe I'm just too picky, but I expected to feel what was being felt, and instead, I remained emotionally limited

A story of rejections leading to skewed perceptions

I enjoyed this audiobook very much. The story was well written and Echo was so easy to connect with. She is a strong woman for sure. You would think that her fiance dying was awful enough, but the things that she was hit with afterwards would have broken many women.

I don't want to give anything away, there is so much happening it's a bit difficult to review and not spoil anything. It's a mystery, a story about a dysfunctional family and love.

The only thing I had a problem with was the narrator. I found her a bit flat but grew used to her as the book went on. Go ahead and pick this book up if you are a suspense lover.

This audiobook was a sad tale of a broken family & a girl on her own. After Echo cuts her toxic mom off, & moves on with her life from a not good relationship with her sister & father, she begins to question her relationship with her fiance. When he suddenly dies & strange things start happening, she is left in an even darker spot.
I liked the audiobook narration. It was clear & easy to understand. The characters are relatable and easy to follow, & the plot is super fast paced & keeps you guessing as to who the bad guy is. It's a unique story, & I really liked it. It has a dark tone, but the ending is the perfect bit of light to leave you satisfied.

This was such a good listen. Echo was a woman engaged to be married to a man named Nash. Nash was killed but after he’s died, some circumstances come to light that has Echo questioning everything she knew about Nash. I didn’t see the twist coming. I was all in that he was a bad man. It was a little hard to keep me entertained in the beginning but by midway, I was intrigued enough to stick it out and I’m glad I did.

Don’t believe everything until you have facts, and even then, question it.

Echo has not had it easy. It seems around every turn she just keeps getting slapped in the face. Her fiancé died 3yrs ago, her mother left the family years ago, her friends betray her, her sister broke her trust.. and on top of that she’s learning some disturbing secrets that her past fiancé had kept from her. Unbelievably hurtful secrets. To get more answers she has to talk to shady people and reach out to her estranged mom.

The title is definitely fitting. I felt So bad for echo she definitely was rejected over and over again. It made my heart break for her. But her journey to discovering more about these secrets helped Echo find out who truly was there for her and who wasn’t. While there was a lot of loss (her fiancé passing, losing friends, and having relationships break) Echo is able to gain insight and some knowledge that makes her better off in the long run.

I was able to listen to the audio book narrated by Kathrine Weber, who did an amazing job!:).

This was definitely the perfect title for this book! Echo is being hit from all angles as bombs are dropped left and right with deception of those around her. As soon as a secret is revealed, she can barely breathe before another one is revealed. All the secrets and lies definitely made Echo feel rejected. A good read overall, with an easy to love FMC. I enjoyed the narrator in this audiobook.
