About this listen

I smile at my boyfriend as I set the table ready for the delicious dinner that’s bubbling on the stove. I know I’m everything to him. I’ve made absolutely sure I’m his perfect match, in every way…

Jay and I have only known each other a short while, but whenever I gaze into his gorgeous brown eyes I know he’s the one. His little house by the deep forest’s edge is perfect for the two of us—no internet, no phone signal, and no neighbors. I’m about as far from my past as I could be.

Warm in Jay’s arms, I can persuade myself it’s ok that he disappears for hours when he thinks I’m asleep at night, returning the next morning, glittery eyed and tense. And I don’t mind that he likes to be in charge of our money, our time, of me. He’s just looking after me, keeping me safe from the outside world, because he loves me.

I won’t question him, I can’t challenge him. I need our relationship to work. Because I have secrets too. Jay thinks he knows me, but he doesn’t have a clue.

All I have to do is play my part, and pray he never discovers just how far from perfect I really am…

A completely addictive psychological thriller packed with incredible twists you won’t see coming. Perfect for fans of The Housemaid, The Split, and The Serial Killer’s Wife.

I nearly didn’t get this book because of the title, as usually there’s so many of these books and all about the same style. I am SO glad i did get it because it’s SO much more and better than the title suggests 💯💯💯 it’s absolutely gripping and lots of twists and turns 🤗 it has you guessing the whole time! This is what a great book and an outstanding narrator sounds like!!!thank you Hayley for an AMAZING book!👏🏽💯💯❤️ Thank you Katie for yet again your OUTSTANDING narration 👏🏽💯💯❤️ Thank you Audible for another AMAZING book!💯💯💯💯💯👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽❤️❤️❤️❤️

Took me a few chapters to get into but once I did I was interested & keen to keep listening! It's a little far fetched in places but a good listen nonetheless! No real "big twists" or things I didn't see coming but I enjoyed it. Narration was good, knew exactly who was who! Will definitely try a few more from this author

Not the most exciting but a great listen nonetheless
