About this listen

THE PERFECT HUSBAND . . .

After a difficult pregnancy, Esther is grateful that her husband Robin offers to put his career on hold so that she can return to the job she loves.

But Esther finds leaving her daughter Riley behind more challenging than she'd thought. And soon the new imbalance in her relationship with Robin brings old tensions to the surface.

OR A PERFECT LIE?

Then one day Esther arrives home from work to find Robin and Riley are missing. As the police investigate their disappearance, it becomes clear that nothing about this modern-day family is what it seems...

Is Robin the perfect father everyone thinks he is? Or was it all a perfect lie?

This has been the season of books entitled Perfect X (you fill in the blank). It is a different story that starts very slowly, and slowly gains speed. The premise is very unbelievable, but I enjoyed the story.

RECOMMENDATION; READ IT

I really liked this story it’s not exactly very suspenseful but it doesn’t need to be because the story itself was very good.

Domestic & psychological thrillers are my drug of choice 💉, and I scrolled past this one several times. The reviews weren’t great, and I wasn’t in the mood for a gamble. I finally gave in (since basically NOTHING decent has been released lately), and I’m reasonably glad I did. These complicated, deep thinkers grab me, even if they are a little slow.

I don’t want to spoil any surprises (there’s a lot to unwrap 🎁), but I will say that this messed up, woeful tale somehow manages to be somewhat believable. The emojis in my title might give you a little clue 😉.

🎤 The narrators aren’t going to set the library on 🔥 with their talent reading of this book, but they are not at all annoying or hard to listen to. They did the job they were hired for well.

ALL KINDS of messed up! 👨💃👶 👩😈

Sorry I had to read this book. I'm all for unlikable characters but wow this book just had no plot. Just two people treating each other like trash and a narration that tries to spin it into a thriller.

Sorry...
