Great story

I really enjoyed this book!! It was a little predictable in the end, but a good story nonetheless.
The narration was fabulous!

Story and narrator are 5 stars!

Man, was this book hard to put down! So many twists and misdirections and the narrator has the most amazing voice! So pleased with the ending as well. A great book to hold your attention and keep you guessing!

Not believable at all

The character development was poor. The ending was partly predictable, but the last twist was so far-fetched and unbelievable and it left me disappointed, especially because it ruined the only aspect of the book I appreciated - the friendship. I was hoping this book would have a Bad Sisters vibe, but the characters are far less relatable/realistic and the storyline is way worse. I did love the narrator. She was excellent.

Meh

It was just ok. I enjoyed all of the twists but it felt like it lasted too long in an effort to try and keep you guessing. It fell a bit flat for me.

I Loved this Book!!

Unpredictable! Kept my attention. I had to keep listening into the early morning hours. One last twist at the end was unexpected for me at least.

Good escapist stuff

Fun unpredictable mystery I couldn’t guess what or who was going on even to the end. Engaging women whom one could relate to their many experiences.

I liked it

It was a good read. But I did put it together pretty quickly as to what was going on. Either way I enjoyed the read.

Didn’t want to stop listening!

Its entertaining and holds your attention the whole time. The narrator was great. I was listening and trying to work so there were a few times it was a bit difficult to keep all the moms separate in my head but it was still attention grabbing. I simply backed up and listened to the parts I felt like I hadn’t fully grasped - one more time. The twists towards the end and at the every end I was not expecting. Definitely recommend the book
