About this listen

Something bad has happened to Alison Taylor.

Her Saturday night started normally. Recently separated from her husband, Ali has been persuaded by her friends to go on a date with a new man. She is ready, she is nervous, and she is excited. She is about to take a step into her new future.

By Sunday morning, Ali’s life is unrecognizable. She wakes, and she knows that something is wrong. She is home, she is alone, she is hurt, and she has no memory of what happened to her.

Worse still, when she looks in the mirror, Ali doesn’t recognize the face staring back at her. She can’t recognize her friends and family. And she can’t recognize the person who is trying to destroy her....

From the number one best-selling author of The Sister, The Gift, and The Surrogate, The Date is a gripping pause resister that will keep you awake until the early hours. Perfect for fans of The Girl on the Train and Before I Go to Sleep.

Love that this book got straight to the story with no mindless lead up. However the ending did seem a bit wavering. I would have liked the twist to have a stronger character that was built up more intensely rather than just plonked as the twist and ending. I
enjoyed the read and got through the book quicker than usual.

Good read - could be more suspenseful

I loved the narrator, she was excellent changing characters. Story was fantastic unbelievable in certain aspects but still totally entertaining.

Kept me guessing

I enjoyed this book. It was fast paced and started quickly and dramatically. Very well written and enthralling to the end. However I found the story not believable after all was revealed. The villans motives and actions seemed rediculas given the perceived crime he thought the main character did.
Still very good read

Held my attention, face paced thirller

I appreciate that I'm clearly in the minority given the numerous rave reviews, but I absolutely hated this book.

It is 9hr 39 mins long with about 3 hours of story line. The remainder being chapters filled with seemingly never ending monologue describing mundane interactions or flashbacks of events from her childhood that add little (if anything) to the story.

If it wasn't painful enough listening to the main character bang on and on for 15 minutes at a time about absolutely nothing, you are then forced to listen to the same interaction described again from the perspective of the villain! Come on once was more than enough!!

I persisted with the story given the other reviewers I read describing wonderful suspense and a plot twist I'll never see coming. I waited and waited. At hour 7 I though ok here we go.. something's actually going to happen here!! But it was neither suspenseful nor a shocking plot twist. The ending was just as disappointing as the rest of the book and ridiculously far fetched.

Credit to the notator who not only had to read this book, but she had to maintain an interested tone while doing it.

Downright painful

A ridiculous story with hours dealing with the past in minute details that has no relevance to the story. I had to speed it up to get through it just in case it had a surprise at the end, which unfortunately there wasn’t. The narrator voice was flat and as drawn out as the story itself. Waste of time.

Boring and far fetched
