Summary

An opening chapter you won't stop talking about. The twisty, gripping psychological thriller you won't be able to pause.

You went to bed at home, just like every other night.

You woke up in the back of a taxi, over 250 miles away.

You have no idea how you got there and no memory of the last 10 hours. You have no phone, no money, just a suicide note in your coat pocket, in your own writing.

You know you weren't planning to kill yourself. Your family and friends think you are lying. Someone knows exactly what happened to you. But they're not telling....

Interesting plot but ...

The plot is quite interesting but a bit too much repetition and far too many descriptions of domestic activity/child care for my taste. Unfortunately I guessed the outcome quite early on, there are a couple of obvious clues & the narrator's tone gave a lot away for me.

Rather predictable from the start. Ending is a huge anti climax

Found this book rather difficult to finish since it was pretty clear from the start what was going on. Without spoiling it; the ending is an anti climax just when you think a plot twist is occurring; it turns out to be more babble. Takes a lot of talent to write a book however this was wasn't great :(

If you want a good thriller with lots of plot twists try "accidents happen" or "the loving husband"

Poor ...and far too many 'Incredulous' looks from everyone.

It started so well then went down hill from there. The characters were instantly forgettable. The ending seemed really rushed and explanations unbelievably complicated...bits just didn't make sense.

Strange.....

I find it strange that I quite enjoyed a book in which actually NOTHING happened! Even when I was slightly irritated by the minute and unnecessary details of family interaction, I always had an expectation that something more was just around the corner. It wasn't and the denouement was, thus, rather disappointing and yet STILL I can't say I didn't enjoy it.....very strange!!!!!

Wow! What a ride!

Any additional comments?

This is, for me, a great book. Clearly, it does not work for everyone. I see from the reviews on various websites, that it's a 'Marmite' experience, loved or loathed, but never experienced as average. Some reviewers complain that we are given too much detail of the routine tasks of domestic life. It's true that we often hear/read details like 'rising from the table to get a glass of water'. However, for me this contributed to atmosphere, and to understanding the main protagonist's struggle to cope with the situation, whilst juggling domestic demands.

I found this to be beautifully written, original and compelling. The characters are very well drawn, and the final chapters are powerful. I found the ending very satisfying.

Great start, but goes downhill

I loved the initial premise and enjoyed most of the book, but the final showdown felt like a cliche and the motivations got muddled. Still, it was interesting and had insightful descriptions of family interactions. This was the first book i read by this author so I’ll probably try another one in the future.
The narrator was good, for once I could generally tell different people apart.

Aptly titled...

Where does Everything You Told Me rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I would say, pretty close to the top. Fantastic, couldn't put it down. After the opening chapter, I was hooked. Just as we are warned.

What other book might you compare Everything You Told Me to, and why?

Probably while you were sleeping, because, while not wanting to give away any spoilers, one thing I've learnt, is never trust a Thriller. If a character's behaving in a certain way, it's because the author wants you to think they're responsible, and most of the time, they're not. It's a red haring to lead you completely the wrong way, so you won't guess the truth. I certainly didn't here.

Which scene did you most enjoy?

The one where she enters the flat to try and prove her theory.

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Don't believe everything you read in the newspapers...

Any additional comments?

Very good book, tough I wish we could have had a couple of reconciliation scenes between the 2 female characters, again, don't want to spoil it. Also Sally and Will. Not sure about the ending, though. I don't know if I would have ended it as it did, but a very good book none the less. Highly recommend it.

Give it a miss

Couldn’t get past first quarter of book. Whining self absorbed characters of the type you see daily on Facebook shouting about how hard it is to raise a child or how useless their husband is. Turned it off as I don’t need such negativity in my books

Predictable

Good idea but had it worked out in the first hour - disappointed, a good narration
