Publisher's summary

I’m Lucy, and I have a secret
I have a beautiful home that I’m desperate to escape.
But that’s not my secret.
I tell my friends I’ve never wanted children when I always have.
But that’s not my secret.
My husband is a celebrated surgeon who tries to control me.
But that’s not my secret.

Adele knows.
Once upon a time, I knew everything about her and she knew everything about me.
Best friends forever.
But now our secret is beginning to surface.
I can trust her more than anyone. We made a pact.
And she’s never do anything to hurt me. Would she?

This absolutely gripping psychological thriller will have you forgetting everything until the last shocking twist. Fans of Behind Closed Doors, Friend Request, and The Girl on the Train will be hooked.

alright

This book was alright, but pretty predictable. Narrator was fine as well. I would recommend it but don't expect any big reveals.

Held My Attention

I enjoyed the book and nothing about it really perturbed me. Enjoyed the narrator as well… except maybe Adele’s voice. Overall, enjoyed very much. It’s very hard to hold my attention and this one did. Thanks for a great listen!

Narrator wimpish voice irritating

I would give a higher rating but the main narrator’s cry baby voice throughout story was awful. Also there were too many situations in the storyline where main character was made to look absolutely helpless and stupid which is insulting to womanhood.

Wasted Credit

2 hours left and I can’t bring myself to finish listening. The main character is ridiculously stupid.

So so

This book was not a psychological thriller. It’s keeps your interest but the storyline is not the best. The narrator Jan Cramer is the best.
