Really enjoyed

I really enjoyed this book once I realised that two stories ran concurrently duh! Not my usual sort of thriller but still worth a read/listen.

What would you do???

Loved the twisting storyline and the moral dilemma it gets you thinking about. Well paced and well read.

Not for me at all!

I am over 3 hours into this and it is leaving me cold. I am not engaged with any of the characters. The main protagonist is irritating. The narrator’s voice is dull (perhaps that is her direction as she has a good voice), and also an odd technical querk is employed occasionally, of dropping the sound as if it is coming from a different, more distant speaker. If it was always used for the same characters, or in the same circumstances, it might work, but it seems to be employed fairly randomly. Since I dislike both the story and the narration, I will be returning it.

good concept - weird and offputting audio

audio made this tough to listen to - quality constantly changed throughout and it sounded like someone was behind you then in another country. really offputting. story was engaging otherwise

Great story

Really enjoyed this book, however was a little disappointed with the ending. I thought it would have more of a position on right vs wrong.

Great narrator and well performed

WOW 😮

This book was simply one of the best book ive ever listened too! I really enjoyed the split story of both choices very cleverly written! The narration was really interesting it pulled me in.....almost like being inside her mind and l shouldnt really have been there....hearing all her raw unfiltered thoughts which made it very realistic.

Slow and boring

This is slow and boring and the narrator sends you to sleep, kept waiting for a twist that didn't come, u wouldn't recommend it.

Not for Me

Overall it's an intriguing premise - a sliding doors moment involving a crime - but it doesn't really deliver. The protagonist is deeply annoying, from her mooning idolatry of her partner to her endless "imagine their life" moments where "in another situation" i.e. not an investigation of her crime, she would ask about hair, shoes, make up etc, She wonders if they go home and watch telly blah, blah, blah. The first few feel relatable, but the repetition wears thin fast. Also, she rarely seems to apply these wonderings to her victim who is only mentioned in relation to her "struggle" and not really acknowledged as the true sufferer. Her other issues feel like some real first world, white girl privilege e.g. "oh no, I only got a third from Oxford, what shall I DO with my life, I'm so flakey" type thing - ugh. Due to the sliding door premise, there are two endings, one of which feels decently satisfying, the other feels like the author didn't know how to finish the story.

Loved this story

A very moving story read beautifully. The narration really made the story for me. Not a murder mystery but a story of love and loss.
