I'm not sure what the hype is all about. I mean, it's like watching a train wreck (no pun intended)...but it wasn't really that big of a twist. Nor was it all that shocking.. It wasn't bad, but it was nothing like "Strangers on a Train" or even "Gone Girl" I think one of my biggest problems is that I had a hard time discerning the voices of the 3 narrators. To me they sounded the same. That made it very difficult to determine whose POV I was in. I found myself constantly flipping back and forth to see the time frame and the narrator.

Mandie Glenn darn...was going to try it because it keeps showing up on various lists! thanks for the review


David Staniforth I found this with the POV too. Also a pet hate of mine.


Bill Kupersmith The Audible made this book's narrators' voices distinctive: posh, East Anglian & Estuary. Worked fine for me but then I liked both Rachel & Megan.
