Summary

How far would you go to create the perfect Life?

Gracie Dwyer has it all: the handsome husband, the adorable child, the beautiful home and the glittering career. The perfect life. Her new friend, Juliet, doesn't exactly fit in. She's a down-on-her-luck single parent with no money and not much hope. So just what is it that draws Gracie and Juliet together? And when the cracks start to appear in Gracie's perfect life, can both of them survive?

Good enough for a holiday read

Would you try another book written by Sam Hepburn or narrated by Stephanie Racine?

Possibly

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

Not the ending I was prepared for - not necessarily the one I would have liked either!

Have you listened to any of Stephanie Racine’s other performances? How does this one compare?

Chic lit thriller

I can't believe I listened to the whole of this story! It sounded and read like chic lit. But the reviews promised a thriller with twists so I listened on. The obvious ending and twist if you can call it that comes in the last chapter. So save yourself a few hours and skip to the end! Good narrator.

Brilliant. Couldn't stop listening!

I was gripped from the first few pages and could barely stop listening to the end, and I never guessed exactly where the story was going. The narrator was fantastic. Looking forward to seeing the inevitable screen version!

Engrossing Narration

The story was helped by the narrator's involving voice. Overall I found the actual story disappointing as it came to a close. It all seemed rushed and left an unsatisfactory feeling.

Never saw it coming

I found this a little slow but there's enough to keep you guessing and want more. You know there's something there but can't pin it down. Brilliantly hidden twist, well done.

Great Narrator

Really good story with some great and unexpected twists and turns. The characters are likeable and the lady who reads is very pleasing to listen too. Listened to the whole book on a few days. I was gripped and couldn’t wait to listen to the next chapter.
