About this listen

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.

Great story. Really drew you in. Would have liked the ending to be more thorough and hear more of the outcome between Alexis and her husband and children.

Great story

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!

A Little Dramatic

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Some good ideas and quite interesting characters, but a weak plot. It was disappointing, although there are worse books out there.

Had potential
