Publisher's summary

“Unputdownable!” - Robyn Carr, New York Times bestselling author

Annie Taft’s wedding is four days away, and it will be one of the grandest anyone can remember in her small South Carolina town. Preparations are in order. Friends and family are gathering in anticipation. Everything is going according to plan. Except that Annie herself has vanished. Did she have second thoughts? Or has something much worse happened to the bride-to-be?

While her loved ones frantically try to track her down, they’re forced to grapple with their own secrets - secrets with the power to reframe entire relationships, leaving each to wonder how well they really knew Annie and how well they know themselves.

Critic reviews

“Each character’s voice is distinct and lived in as the reader gradually connects the threads tying everyone in this small town together. There’s a lot here. An intriguing mystery filled with hearty characters.” --Kirkus Reviews

“Marybeth Mayhew Whalen’s character-driven suspense propelled me through the pages with a relentless need to absorb every word. Unputdownable!” --Robyn Carr, New York Times bestselling author

“A seductive and emotional page-turner, Only Ever Her is a moving exploration of love, loss, and regret. Told in multiple points of view, where every character has something to hide, this mysterious tale asks the question: How well do you really know the ones you love? You won’t be able to put it down, but you won’t want it to end either.” --Karen Katchur, bestselling author of River Bodies

Love the emotion!

I am hooked on her books now. This is the second I’ve read and I love how truly human and flawed her characters and their behaviors are.

Good storyline

With engaging and leaves you wondering many things until the end. Joshilyn Jacksons narration was wonderful- the male part was just so- so. Overall, very engaging.

Female narrator annoying

Interesting story, but, The female narrator sounded like a junkie (as in Monica from Shameless). Very irritating!

Good Story - Narration Lacking

I liked this book. However, I almost stopped because Joshilyn Jackson’s voice sounds like a whiney little girl. The story is good, characters well developed, every question gets answered which is a win win for me. But that voice was awful.

Little confusing

It was an ok story. It’s a little hard to follow all the people and I didn’t love the narrator. It was ok

Story is good; the narrator is better.

The story is good, but I bought this book because it’s (partially) narrated by Joshilyn Jackson. In case you don’t know, Joshilyn Jackson is also an author, and I don’t know if it’s because I (mostly) love her books, but now I love her narration too. She’s really good at doing different voices and bringing the characters and story to life. I also trust that she only narrates good books, and so far, she hasn’t let me down.

It was ok

This was not my favorite book by a long shot although I know many really loved it - just didn’t really “feel” it for characters - maybe because I wasn’t crazy about narrators. Sorry
