Predictable and repetitive

From about 1/3 into the book, you already know what's going on. and it repeats and repeats and repeats.... was a struggle to finish. i don't even know how i got to the end.

If only life could be this real……

A fairly far-fetched story of mothering and smothering. Thank god we cannot live such lives in reality…..
Narrators we’re quite limited in female voices and if not a barbie doll then a mother-in-law lol. I had a few scenarios of the outcomes in my head, and left the free book with an hour to go. Audible, who had given me notice that this freebie was changing status, reached into my device and retrieved the download!!! I suggested paying a credit to hear the end was uncalled for and they very graciously gave the download back. Wonderful Audible.
So it finally played out as one of my choices and again I say thank god it’s not real.
Interestingly I read a lot of the reviews for a hint of the ending and absolutely no-one gave the plot away, not even the in-depth seemingly expert reviewers. This book seems to be loved and hated equally. I say it was a good psychological plot that the author can be proud of. You sometimes have to look past the author’s privilege of adding frills and repetition.

Bit frustrating but overall good

Found the mystery/secrecy would get frustrating! Overall I enjoyed it! Took about a week to read.

Unseen twist

A little monotonous at times. Ok narration. A great twist at the end that I didn’t see coming

Nice book I’m reading more from this author

This book provided an excellent and fast-paced reading experience with a mix of fantastic, creepy, dark, and chilling elements. It kept me engaged with its twists and turns, some of which were predictable, but overall, it was a highly enjoyable read. The gripping storyline had my heart racing with anticipation! It must have been quite an exhilarating read for you.
