Summary

I couldn't believe that Bec would, after all these years, bring the whole thing up so...casually.

Bec and Kate are sisters, but they couldn't be less alike.

Bec lives the domestic dream with her surgeon husband, Stuart, and three perfect children. So why is she so attracted to free-spirited Ryan?

Kate's life is hardly a dream. But when she meets Adam - tall, kind, funny - things start looking up. Until she finds out he's been keeping secrets from her.

Then there is the incident both sisters are desperate to ignore....

Will they discover that some mistakes can't be put right?

For fans of Liane Moriarty and Marian Keyes comes a tantalising, suspenseful listen.

a bit too flowery for me

some bits dragged on for longer than they needed to, with someone unnecessary and sometimes lazy descriptive language.

Did not see that coming, great to listen to a story that you haven't predicted in the first chapter.

Great story, many twists and turns that you don't see coming, easy listening, relatable in many ways, really enjoyed

What a lovely book.

I loved this book. Well written, well narrated and a great story. It was one story, did not jump around and was completely unpredictable.

An engaging tale

A good story about two sisters lives in Australia. Full of intrigue and unexpected twists,

Different sort of story but…

The story was a bit drawn out for what it was actually about with everything happening in the last couple of chapters. However the ending is just ridiculous, there is no way the wife could go off with another man, have a full blown relationship and end with such horrendous consequences for one of her children and the husband go “oh well let’s just forget all that and carry on” No, it just can’t happen. Every day there would be the awful consequences of her decision to deal with, trust could never return in these circumstances and in any event if she was that shallow, she would just go off with the next younger man that came along! Just lost touch with reality when writing the ending. Book is well read and not a bad plot but the ending is a complete farce.

Loved it

The book itself was a bit of a slow burner which I’m not normally a fan of but I’m glad I stuck with it. I can normally predict the ending of each book but I couldn’t with this one. It touches on quite realistic themes which I enjoyed. I’m going to think about this one for a while, which is always a good sign

Slow burner but worth the wait

Slow to start and I nearly gave up but so glad I stuck with it. Twists and turns and characters to love. Narrator excellent. Could listen to here all day!

Boring, repetitive and overly descriptive

I really wanted to like this book. But it’s really slow, there’s a lot of unnecessary descriptive language - almost like the author had a word count to hit.

The narration sounds like every male character is struggling for breath and elongates all their words which makes it quite difficult to listen to. The women are made to all sound very high pitched.

The story is slow and it’s all a bit cringey, I think some of it is meant to be a bit erotic but it’s way off the mark.

Gripping story

First experience of this author, definitely won’t be my last. Keeps you guessing while shouting “No, No No” or pleading “please don’t “. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend but just be sure you’re in the mood for a bit of suspense and a wee greet here and there.

Returned

I didn't enjoy anything about this ,the story was boring, the writing was far too flowery and the narration sounded like she was bored reading it too. I got to chapter 5 and gave up.
