This title uses virtual voice narration

Virtual voice is computer-generated narration for audiobooks.

A page-turning, domestic drama that tells the gripping story of two families faced with a tragedy that could change them forever.

Two couples.
Two daughters.
Two sons.
One tragedy.
Too many secrets.

Lauren Rivers has it all. Two beautiful daughters, a doting husband, and a home that belongs on the cover of a magazine. She also has roots that run deep in the esteemed beach town of Flagport, Massachusetts. When Evie Sullivan moves across the street, the two become fast friends. Evie is nothing like Lauren’s other friends. She’s quiet, contemplative, and holds steady to her modest upbringing. These are the things that Lauren loves about her new best friend. But that all changes when Lauren’s teenage daughter, Lily, is in a car accident. As Lauren races to the hospital to see the daughter she’s always put on a pedestal, she runs into Evie’s family. What she finds out next will threaten their friendship forever. Fears set in, secrets come to the surface, and one of the women must come to terms with her past.

I disliked one voice being a certain person, then it was another person that sounded just the same.

The confusing storyline

I enjoyed the story however, the virtual voice narration is horrible. I much prefer the human narration where there are inflections, emotions, drama, etc the virtual voice narration just kinda drones on and it makes the book harder to get into and stick with.

Good Book but hate virtual voice narration

The AI narration takes away from the interest of the story. There are so many moments in the story that need a human voice to make the scenes come to life. The story itself is solid, but really hard to stay engaged with the robotic voice narrating.

Don’t like the AI narration

Good story. Virtual voice wasn't terrible but definitely did not have the same impact that a live voice does.

The whole time I was listening to the book, I thought it was gonna end like most books would have. But I liked the way this one ended.

Good

Amazing story plot, characters. Couldn’t stop pressing pause; however there were times it was hard to enjoy bc of the robotic, unemotional voice of AI narration. Would have been more gripping if read by a human narrator. Not sure the reasoning to choose AI but hoping it’s reconsidering for future published.

Great plot, horrible narration
