About this listen

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Greer Hendricks comes a chilling story about the hidden cost of perfection.

Anne is barely keeping it together. A frazzled ghostwriter and aspiring novelist, she juggles nine-year-old twins and a listless marriage from an overcrowded Manhattan apartment, spreading herself thinner each day. Just as Anne is about to give up on her dreams, she lands her biggest client yet: Melody Wells.

Melody paints a picture of serenity and empowerment in the lavender haze of her visualization workshops—however, the one thing she can’t manifest are the pages her publisher is demanding for her new motivational book. Enter Anne.

As Melody invites Anne deeper into her magical world, Anne finds herself working impossibly long days and traveling far beyond her comfort zone.

When Melody passes along a lead on a spacious sublet complete with East River views, built-in closets, and three bedrooms, Anne can’t believe her luck. Melody seems to know just what her family needs. But as small, unsettling incidents begin to accumulate, Anne starts to wonder what price she’s willing to pay for the good life.

A very anticlimactic read!

This was not the work I've come to expect from Greer Hendricks, and I would've loved to have had more. This book should've just been made into a longer book because, as it starts to build and get good, it's already the end. I had to go back to make sure that I didn't miss anything, and I didn't.

A crammed mess

Trying to cram so much into a short hour and a half backfired in a big way. The narrator was good, but just as the story was starting to build - boom, it’s over.

Quick yet good

This story was way too quick. Short story at its best. Left me wanting more.

Just when it started getting good, it ended.

I love the story but an hour and a half isn’t as long enough. Where is the rest?

Fantastic narrator

it was really good until the anticlimactic ending. I love Greer Hendricks, but not one of her best.

Not her best

Snooze fest. Super rushed considering it’s only an hour long but not even Karissa Vacker should fix this. The story needed development and we just didn’t get that.

No story

Don’t waste your money on this. Most annoying narrator and really no story. Awful and would not recommend.

Insipid, at best

Stereotypes, from a wife being the family everything, the husband being a clueless drip, the kids being untamed brats, to the "influencer/author" who recycles and interjects overused thoughts more often than Mel Robbins, but with a flighty method and voice, abound here, to a nauseatingly unrealistic and inane conclusion. This ghost-writer woman can't figure out why she can't change her clothing style, or handle other basic aspects of her life, but she maps out a famous influencer's entire scam...that no one else ever has. Influencer goes to India, never to be heard from again, bc said ghostwriter threatens a big reveal. Spoiler, and the last level of "ugh-" the ghostwriter "writes" a novel, using all of the influencer's ideas and words and methods for meditation, calm, living a lovely life. After she told readers this influencer's lifestyle brand had absolutely exploded, ghostwriter woman steals all of it, changes one telling point (um, the main point-which makes the cover-up way more obvious), and POOF sells a gazillion copies, plus film rights.
SO ridiculous. Short story doesn't mean license for lazy and below-bland writing. Waste of a listen.
