About this listen

"I can tell we’re going to be the best of friends...."

When Louisa Sullivan takes her little boy to his first playdate at a new friend’s house, she doesn’t realize life is about to change for her family. Because she’s about to meet Darcy Lane.

Darcy is a woman who has everything—a dream house, a powerful husband, and enviable wealth.

She’s the perfect wife.

The perfect friend.

The perfect liar.

From the top 10 best-selling author of The Secret Mother and The Child Next Door, this utterly gripping psychological thriller will have you up all night. If you loved Gone Girl, The Girl on the Train, and The Wife Between Us, this book is for you.

I struggled to finish this. Extremely boring, slow and predictable . No idea how it got the high ratings. The narrator is very good though. But the story is lacking humor, suspense...basically it's the most boring reads I've experienced for months

The story could be written by a 6 year old!

I have finished this book after 2 days. A brilliant story which although took a few chapters to get into was just brilliant. This is the third book I have listed to by Shalini Boland and have already downloaded my fourth. Brilliant narration by Katie Villa too.
Highly recommend.

I try not to give anything away when I review a book as I hate it when someone puts ‘rubbish ending’ or ‘she dies in the end’ so I’ll just say that it’s got a very silly protagonist telling the story. I wanted to shake her & say stop being so dopey. I finished it but that was mainly in respect to the excellent narrator.

A bit silly and too far fetched at times.
