About this listen

A gripping psychological thriller, from TOP TEN BESTSELLER, Alison Stockham

When it comes to saving yourself, who will you betray?

Louise has a shadowy past that she wants to break free from and when she develops an unlikely friendship with Isabelle, her neighbour, she finally finds the family she’s always yearned for.

But Louise knows more about Isabelle than her new friend realises, more specifically about her imprisoned husband – and the circumstances behind his arrest.

Louise is faced with a choice: to continue lying to her only friend or tell the truth and ruin any chance she has of starting over…

An addictive and gripping psychological thriller that will have you questioning everything. Perfect for fans of Liane Moriarty and Celeste Ng.

*Consequences*

This book really bothered me as to be honest I disliked all the characters.

We see Louise who is the main character move to an area that is close by to Isabelle who is clueless about the man she is married to Carl. Police come and take him away for a heinous crime and one that Louise was witness too. She had parents who thought she was an inconvenience and a grandad who she adored. Her grandad continually apologised for his daughter’s behaviour. When he passed Louise moved out as quick as she could. Sadly she turned to the wrong person.

Well as Louise flip flops between the past and the present all is revealed in stages about the connection between Carl and Louise.

I just think if you want to escape your past and turn over a new leaf why would you want to be anywhere near the very person that you went down a rabbit hole with and hit rockbottom?

Well Louise goes a step further and strikes up a friendship with Isabelle. Soon Isabelle is virtually dependent on Louise and she has a baby on the way.

Like all criminals they have contacts all over the place. They send a message to Louise by way of a threat and when Louise hears of an incident that could have potentially threatened the lives of Isabelle and her new daughter Lottie it is a step too far. Now is the part that we see Louise think of others before herself. Does she do the right thing?

It was good in parts but the ending did not sit right with me…. But I rounded it up from a 3 to a 3.5 stars.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
