Great read, as always Kimberley never lets you down. Looking forward to the next one.
Im glad I didn’t let all those negative comments about the Narrator put me off because he was great.

Meh.

Firstly, I didn't enjoy the narration, there were many many times where he read as if there was zero punctuation. For example it would be read as it the same sentence, but it ended up being a different character in a different location, but with no pause. Also sadly his irish accent is embarrassingly awful, truly awful.
The story followed a formula, much like Martina Cole, same story, different names. The second half was poorer than the beginning, literally rambling random scenarios.
Don't let negative reviews put you off the author, she has some great books, alas not this one...

Brilliant story

Waited months for this book to come out . Story was brilliant but was spoilt by the narration for me . Still enjoyed it just slightly let down by rubbish narration through parts .

Enjoyable

Couldn’t stop listening to more which I find is the case every time with the wonderful Kimberley Chambers writing. Although, it isn’t her finest work, it was definitely a fun listen. I have read most books that are released by Kimberley and love her stories and writing, so decided to give the audiobook version a go, but wasn’t so keen on the narrator. He managed to do the job but I wasn’t entirely convinced. Is a must read if you are a fan of the author!

Excellent

I didn’t realise till it started that a man was narrating this book but I must say he was excellent and I really enjoyed it. The story was brilliant I couldn’t decide if I liked kenny or not but in the end I did even though I was surprised by some of the things he did. Hopefully the story will be continued as I’m quite invested in the family now lol.
