Great story, perfect narration, satisfying ending

I have been loving Lucy Dawson’s books! Narrator was also perfect! Although I love Dawson’s books, this is the first one I’ve read that has a satisfying ending. If you need an ending that doesn’t leave you hanging or guessing, you will like this one. On my way to reading my fourth Dawson book!

She has written a psychological thriller in refreshing unique way!

What an amazing book, I am a really huge fan of Lucy Dawson. Like all of her books this one solidly held my interest and curiosity, as her writing style draws you in and her characters are so real.
Her main character is so narcissistic that a reader may not like her, but she is surrounded by such well developed, interesting, lovable and loving supporting characters that one hangs in there hoping to find some redeeming qualities, as she continues to mess up and make every situation about her self.

The main character ugh

I love all of Lucy Dawson’s books but this one, not so much. Why? I hated the main character bc unlike the rest of her main characters in other books, she was weak and well, dumb. Like, so unintelligent. It reminded me of the main character from the 50 shades series: who I LOATHED.

Great narrator

The ending was very anticlimatic. It just ended abruptly with no explanation. Kind of disappointing.

The title does not describe the book

Although I finished this book, it was a little drawn out. The main female's husband is made out to have no situational awareness and seems really boring. All of the sudden, she can't live without him. There are some really funny parts, main character talks to herself in her head. Mainly drama, not suspense.

I loved this one.

I'll never understand why Lucy Dawson stories don't have higher ratings. I love her books. I love some more than others, of course, but something about her writing always keeps me completely engaged in the story. Whenever I have to take a break from reading one of her books, I can't wait to get back to it. I loved this audio version read by Karen Cass. The narration was excellent. Five stars for the narration as well as the story. I was actually sad that it ended.

Predictable

Really funny in parts and a great narrator but overall, so predictable it made me feel uncomfortable.
