About this listen

Alastair has found the perfect partner in husband Steven. Together they've built a successful life, had a beautiful child, and still behave like newlyweds long since the day he carried her over the threshold.

But all of that changes in an instant thanks to a thoughtless deed that has lifelong repercussions.

With secrets bubbling to the surface, the pair find their American dream life suddenly in jeopardy, and neither one of them are willing to let go at any cost.

A riveting listen

Loved the twists & turns, definitely wanted to keep listening. Just as it seems a little predictable, the twists make you think again. Very well narrated.

Distinctly average

I didn’t particularly like any of the characters and I felt bad about the end of the story. Also not all that original.

Surprisingly good!

A surprisingly good story filled with unexpected twists and turns. Its easy to get through and a good filler in between a couple of heavy reads.

Enjoyable enough

This was a good listen as a background filler.. could see where it was going early on but didn’t expect the dual pov which was a nice twist..also expected a different ending but made sense. I enjoyed.

Genuinely up there with the worst books of all Tim

I can't understand how this got printed or even selected as an audible book. The writing is dreadful, the characters absolutely horrible, the story so full of holes, far-fetched and ridiculous that it beggars belief that it got printed at all. Why do you have to take a story that is so beyond belief to think you are making a good book? Why have the characters been made to be so crass, unintelligent and lifeless? Why has the author given so little credence to the intelligence of the reader? Working everything out within the first few chapters and then to have nothing left to look forward to is extremely poor planning of a story.
