Summary

From the best-selling author of The Secrets of Us and The Best of Friends comes a novella of deceit, desperation, and how one little mistake can unravel a life.

When overwhelmed stay-at-home mom Alexis finds herself at odds with her husband after she’s charged with a DUI, she is given one chance to get her family back: complete AA and admit her faults. The problem is, she’s never had a drinking problem and has no idea what caused the blackout that led to her arrest. Still, she’s committed to working through the program, if that’s what it takes to be reunited with her two young children. But when she connects with a new friend, Farrah - a confident, successful powerhouse of a woman Alexis can’t help but idolize - she’s empowered to take a closer look at her husband’s role in her downfall. What she finds shocks her to her core, quickly spiraling into something more sinister than she ever imagined.

Good, but could do better !

Started off well but unfortunately went downhill after that. Near the end of the book I actually thought I’d snoozed off and missed chapters out. After rewinding I realised that this wasn’t the case and the ending had just been rushed - disappointed

A Little Dramatic

I’ve read other books by Lucinda Berry and they’ve all be brilliant but this novella is a little dramatic and unbelievable. I’ll still continue to read her other works though!

Fantastic!!

My first audio book didn't disappoint, the narrator told the story with passion. Like all Lucinda Berry's previous novels, this one was also fantastic. I loved the twists and turns, especially the ending that left you wondering what Alexis may actually be truly capable of.

A story or based on reality?

This story could really happen and that is the scary thing as you listenvto it unfold. Very well narrated and good characterisation.

Too short

I enjoyed this story and thought it was well written and well narrated. The problem with it is it’s too short and I feel it could have been filled out quite a lot more as it had potential.

Great plot line but would have liked it to be more developed regarding husband and friend

It is great but too short wanted to know more about husband’s plot and about friend
