About this listen
A new life in paradise should have healed her wounds. But for a woman struggling to hold on to her family and her sanity, one stormy night could change everything.
Blow by blow, Annie Lin’s life crumbles. Her dance studio goes bankrupt. Her mother and beloved dog are gone the same year. Then a terrible accident leaves her young son traumatized.
It’s time for a change.
Palm trees, mai tais, peace and quiet—Annie should be at ease, safe in her new Kauai home with her husband and son. She hopes proximity to her family can provide them all with a sense of belonging and calm. But soon items from her past start turning up—her dog’s collar, a bracelet that disappeared years ago—and she has the unnerving sensation she’s being watched. Reality begins to fracture, and Annie’s panic attacks return. When, during a brewing storm, a woman appears on her doorstep looking for shelter, Annie is relieved to have the company and feels an unexplainable bond with her visitor.
As the night progresses, Annie realizes the woman is no stranger. Their lives are inextricably intertwined—and Annie might just lose everything.

Critic reviews
“A skillful by-the-numbers thriller with its share of nice touches.”—Kirkus Reviews
“Well-developed characters and plenty of local color add to the slowly simmering plot, which builds to a strong and unexpected climax. Alfred Hitchcock fans will be satisfied.”—Publishers Weekly
“Chilling from page one, Someone Else’s Life is an unputdownable descent into two women’s parallel lives. With genuine jaw-dropping twists and enough seeds of doubt to populate a very wicked garden, Butler’s debut thriller is a breath of fresh Kauai air.”—Eliza Jane Brazier, author of If I Disappear

Predictable and repetitive
The writing is plain and simple which isn’t inherently a bad thing but everything is over explained, as if the reader must be unable to read between any lines at all. The story is predictable from the start and the protagonist is too naive as she overlooks far too much.
There was potential but i think the author just gave too much away too early. A shame really. Ended up listening on 2x speed to get through it, so much of the thoughts and dialogue and description was repeated many times
Narration was excellent though
