As a connoisseur of thrillers I'd honestly have to say that this book was quite the dramatic flare-up of everything you thought you knew.
It's a back and forth event in which the protagonist Eve is tossed between situations like a rag doll as she tries to recoup her memory bank.
What she believes is truth including some very major occurrences like one's own birth is actually marred by falsehoods and twisted truths to the point readers like myself aren't quite sure what to expect.
This is made more difficult by the fact this was an audio book which makes the narration much more difficult to conjure up the exact appeal and tone.
The narration was wonderful but the problem is the constant introduction of characters prior to speaking was ad nauseum along with the fact that once the statement was tossed out it was like a boomerang that shot back at you.
I enjoyed how this story came across as it played out from scene to scene with an increasing risk of tension at each corner.
It turns out Eve honestly must keep track of it all with her mom who has the same name as me which set me off, then the husband Lee with his shenanigans, and of course Sarah, and the others.
It became quite intriguing as we uncover the fact that Button is the grandmother who was just sent away. Lee is in tight wraps after the detective started to investigate a situation that arose with him and his sexual adventures. As well as the friend who bumped her head on the playground and felt a sense of awareness of others emotions.
Well, this was a book that in print might fair much better than this digital audio version because of the complexities and nature of the crimes but nevertheless I did enjoy it.
Thank you to S.M. Freedman, the pub, NetGalley, and Amazon Kindle for this ARC in exchange for this honest review.
