NOW A MAJOR TV SERIES STARRING DIANE KRUGER AND JO JOYNER

'Taut, clever, compelling and guaranteed to keep you on the edge of your seat…' Paula Hawkins, author of The Girl on the Train

You think you know her…
But look a little closer

She is a stay-at-home mother of three with boundless reserves of patience, energy and love. After being friends for a decade, this is how Liz sees Jess.

Then one moment changes everything.

Dark thoughts and carefully guarded secrets surface – and Liz is left questioning everything she thought she knew about her friend, and about herself.

From the bestselling author of Anatomy of a Scandal – a new thought-provoking novel exploring the complexity of motherhood and all that connects and disconnects us.

This story is very emotional for those involved with mothers of very young babies. It is insightful and real. I’m looking forward to seeing the TV adaptation of it now, to see the characters come to life.

Fantastic

the narrators voice and accents are distractingly irritating, and I've never heard an audio book with sound effects (crowd noise, people speaking on phones). it wasn't enjoyable to listen to at all. Maybe this detracted from my ability to focus on the story but it was dull, slow and predictable. there are much better books on PND and family trauma. I had such high hopes going in, lower your expectations, then lower them again and I'm sure you'll enjoy.

irritating narration, dull story
