It's one of Reece Witherspoon's bookclub pics(lord only knows what you'd discuss),rave reviews on Amazon...why?Confused

I'm not normally critical and read all sorts but honestly I know primary children who could write better. Starting to wonder if I've read a knock off version. GrinCan't be the only one to think this surely.Confused

I’ve just finished listening to the audiobook and came to see what others thought of it!

I was about to give it up and then it switched up so I persevered but thought it was drivel.

I only used my audible credit on it because it seemed to be so highly recommended!

So it wasn't just me.😀I suspect she's planning on making into a film. Sure hope she gets somebody good to write the screen play.Ridiculous unbelievable plot and shockingly poor writing. Really surprised she thought it was good,she clearly admires Liane Moriarty,they're poles apart.Confused

Norfolk don't forget to return it if you didn't like it. Audible have a thing that lets you do that.

I got fed up of the constant descriptions of handbags and designer outfits - boring!

Awful - domestic violence as punishment was so off also.
