Couldn’t quite see where this was going until about halfway through and then I was wrong! Great twisty plot!
Enjoyed the book because it was different.
One of my best reads this summer! I really enjoyed this book!
I am personally very different from the main character and have to challenge myself to grasp why she stayed in suspension, waiting for a one week relationship to resume. The twists that take place at the end of the story and the writing style made this book a winner or at least, entertaining.
Well written, fast read
This wasn’t the most exciting book that I’ve read but it was a solid read. I did enjoy reading it.
I wondered when I got this audiobook what someone could possibly have as a valid explanation for ghosting someone that would make sense, and make you not hate them. Could there ever be an explanation that justifies that cruel, passive-aggressive behavior? Well, the author found one. It took her a while to get to it, and clearly this is something she enjoyed — the long, drawn-out reveal. She used that device a couple of times in this book, and honestly, it got a little much at times, the lengthy descriptions in inner monologue of the characters of flora and fauna, traffic, random people and meals and streets, all to avoid getting to the thing the reader most wants to know. While I appreciate a good turn of phrase, it seemed misplaced at times, and sometimes didn’t add much to the story at all. Having said that, the premise was a good one, and by and large, it was interesting and surprising. Some reviewers found it to be Lifetime movie-esque, and I can’t completely argue with that, honestly. But I had fun listening.
Audible Note: Stellar narration, except when she was doing American accents; those were atrocious.
I loved this book because of the unpredictability. It had several different twists and kept me in suspense. A real page-turner I didn’t want to put down.
