I received a an audiobook from Avon Books UK – Harper Collins Audio UK via NetGalley in return for an honest review.
My Thoughts…
I listened to an audiobook copy of this story, which is absorbing and enjoyable.
The narrator is professional and brings each of the characters to life through her different voices. It’s easy to feel part of the dialogue with her narration.
The story begins on the precipice of something awful and then goes back in time to discover what events lead to this moment. Predominately told from three points of view it explores the women’s longstanding friendship and the secrets they hide with each other and alone.
The characters are diverse and relatable you are invested in their lives. You empathise with them because of their flaws and mistakes. The logical plot has many twists and features domestic abuse, rape, and murder. The crimes are heinous, but not overly graphic, but the emotional and physical damage is believable.
The conclusion ties up any loose ends and gives hope, and possible future dilemmas for Lily, Mackenzie and Robin.
