Very similar to "The Last Mrs. Parrish"

Revisado: 07-28-22

I think 3 stars is a fair enough review but I mostly kept listening to find out just how similar the 2 books would end up being.

Don't waste a credit

Revisado: 05-31-22

I've noticed everytime a book has a famous author as their main character the writing is juvenile. The Arrangement was a little strange tge way it ended but it wasn't bad so i wanted to give some of her other books a try but nothing happens until the last 35 mins of this one. It doesn't make much sense and you have nothing to hope for because none of the characters are likeable. Hours of dialog between characters and the MC whining about how mean everyone was to her 10 years ago. The narrator did a good job and was the only reason I didn't give up and return the book.

Spit it out already

Revisado: 03-19-22

Listening to this is like listening to a child that just won't get to the point. It reads like a run on sentence, bogged down with details.

Mostly pointless (Tiny spoilers)

Revisado: 03-15-22

I got through the book by telling myself the slow part will be over soon and everything will make sense in the end. Nothing truly tied together and a lot of time was wasted on details that don't even matter. Want to know who the mysterious company is that hired Emma? Too bad! The main character can't shake her daddy issues for 14 yrs despite having in depth knowledge of psychology but then magiclly moves on after 4 months. I liked The Dissappearing Act but this one doesn't have a strong ending.

Too far-fetched for me

Revisado: 12-24-21

This story is so unbelievable they could have thrown in a talking lamp, flying dog and said this all took place on Mars and it wouldn't have made a difference. The first chapter with the male narrator was a give away to the "twist" at the end so it just made for a very predictable story told in a very strange way. I liked The Wife Stalker enough to try another Liv book but this will probably be the last.

Revisiting a childhood favorite

Revisado: 10-28-21

I originally read this book when I wad in middle school and had the urge to revisit it. I recommend reading The Outsiders first because this book has little references to that book but if you don't you won't miss out on anything except those little "Easter eggs." I didn't have a problem with skipping and the narrator was good and I felt the voice matched how the main character would sound.

How is the rating so high for this book?

Revisado: 06-30-21

I had high hopes considering all the positive reviews but was disappointed. The narrator is fine, I don't think her tone really matches the story. The story overall has too many holes and doesn't come together in a satisfying way.

This is what Dexter should have been

Revisado: 06-21-21

I liked the premise of Dexter but wasn't impressed with the books, this is what Dexter should have been. Keeps you interested without any hard parts to get through and you don't see the ending/twist coming. There are certain parts I don't think are very realistic but not enough to distract from the story as a whole. Definitely one of the better books I've found so far and would be interested in reading more from this author.

Pointless. Don't waste a credit.

Revisado: 06-07-21

I wanted to check out more Kepnes after getting into the You series and ended up wasting a few hours hoping this book would get better. It's a few hours of 3 different characters whining with no conclusion. The author doesn't clarify things an engaged reader might question like how the "old" cop Eggs reads like he could be 95 years old yet is still working and had an 8 year old child 2/3 years ago. I should have bailed when the story line kept jumping forward by 1-5 years at a time.

Here's a drinking game to help you finish the book

Revisado: 11-21-20

Despite the amazing narrator, I decided I disliked this book so much I couldn't fit all my negative thoughts into a short review. So if you made the mistake of buying this book try this drinking game to follow along and get through the repeated words. Warning: Not even the heaviest drinker should attempt this.
Drink everytime you hear the following words/phrases: Clouds, floods, baby teeth, God, flesh, in his minds eye, Special Ed, Jerry, the flu that wasn't the flu, tree house, blue moon,
Liver Killer Mode! Drink everytime you hear: Deer, The hissing lady, the nice man, mail box people, Christopher's mother, the sheriff, the cool side of the pillow,
