Oh my?! Did I just write that? I'm just blushing. This book alternates between 1989 & 2016, and by the time I finished, I was quite frankly ready to strangle Louise myself. Now get ready to throw all of that out of the window and watch her act like the weak willed & whiny immature prat she was in 1989, for the rest of the book. Okay, Louise is an educated, single Mom (age 45), who runs her own business successfully, and manages her work, personal, and family life really well. Oh yes.major spoiler alerts going down here- so reader you have been warned! Actually, I've warned you twice now. Okay, I usually write reviews under my Goodreads account for all books, but I felt compelled to share about this book. Wendiĭon't waste your credit or $ + Spoiler Alert! And I do hope that Laura Marshall will focus on better character development and conclusions in her next novel, which I will probably take the time to read as this one piqued my curiousity.

I highly suggest this audio-book gets another listen from a professional editor, though. I will give this a solid 3 stars because it is a great attempt at a first novel. The rest of the book was summed up rather nicely but it wasn't very believable and her characters were extremely inconsistent with their personalities and behaviour. Throughout the book there was a secret female character who was being held captive but we never find out who she is or why she is being held captive? I don't think I missed it. The plot twists were decent- but the reader is left hanging or the author forgot to tell us about a character. It could have been knocked back about 4 hours and easily been just as curious.

Our main character gets a facebook friend request from an old high school friend. Her voice was fine- but my goodness- the editing is horrible.
