About this listen

Victoria Barnett has it all: a great career as a nurse practitioner, a handsome and loving husband, a beautiful home in the suburbs, and a plan to fill it with children. Life is perfect—or so it seems. Then she’s in a terrible accident...and everything falls apart. Now Victoria is unable to walk. She can’t feed or dress herself. She can’t even speak. She is confined to the top floor of her house with 24-hour care.

Sylvia Robinson is hired by Victoria’s husband to help care for her. But it turns out Victoria isn’t as impaired as Sylvia was led to believe. There’s a story Victoria desperately wants to tell...if only she could get the words out. Then Sylvia discovers Victoria’s diary hidden away in a drawer. And what’s inside is shocking.

Sooooooo good!

I cannot wait to read the rest of Freida McFadden's books! This was a fantastic listen. I thought I had it figured out, then I thought I was right, then I was wrong, then I was right, and then wrong again! What a great ending!

The narration even grew on me. At first I thought I didn't love her performance but I was wrong, she did a great job.

Very good!

The book was better than I expected. I caught myself talking to the characters way too many times. Lol. The narration was very good.

Very Similar to Verity but Still a Good Read

If you have read Verity this book starts out as almost the same book but midway through it has its own storyline and I liked the ending.

I took a chance and WOAH!

I admit, I usually look at the amount of reviews for a book before I sample or read the reviews. This one had 374 and I thought “eh, I’ll just sample it and see..” and I am SO GLAD I DID!!! I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. I’m so sad it’s over. That ending was unpredictable! Loved loved loved it!
