Publisher's summary

From New York Times best seller Alessandra Torre....

I have three months to write the last book of my life. Three months to confess the details of that day, and how it changed everything for me.

My name is Helena Ross. I've written 15 romance novels, 10 of which have become international best sellers. But this one isn't a romance, no happily ever after in place. This novel holds only the truth, which I have run away from for four years. The truth, which I have hidden from the police, from my loved ones, from the world.

This final book?

It's my confession.

great story!

amazing storytelling!!! The only thing that would have made this book better was a different narrator. it seemed patched together at times...sometimes the word spacing felt sped up.

Very Good Story but ...

The story itself is very good, kept my interest throughout and had a good pace to it.
The sound quality and narration leave a lot to be desired. In a few places it sounds like it's being read through a cell phone on speaker with the person standing across the room. The narration is very robotic and sounded like Siri reading a story with bad punctuation. It's pretty off-putting.
I did finish it because the story was interesting enough to just deal with it, but might be better to just read the book yourself.

Awful, awful narration.

Couldn't make it past the first chapter. Narration was horrifically stilted and monotonous and set my teeth on edge.

Great story - TERRIBLE narration and editing.

Do they even listen to these things before they release them? The story is actually really good - I just wish I would have read it and not listened to it. The narrator has the most dull - monotone voice. It was so difficult to listen to. Not only that but the editing was horrendous. Right in the middle of a sentence they splice in a word that is a completely different tone and volume. There is no way a professional did this. Do yourself a favor on this one and READ this…. Don’t buy this Audible.

Great story yet poor narration

Gut wrenching novel. I have never enjoyed a book that I have hated the narration before. At the beginning of the book it was very hard for me to listen to and started to doubt the author’s writing. I then realized it was the narration that I hated. The accent was inconsistent and the editing was horrible. However, those last 10 chapters had me bawling my eyes out. The author depicted the characters in such a way that I truly felt their feelings. As it ended, I knew how it would play out but to hear it described made me feel like I was there. As a parent, it was a tough listen, but I would highly recommend this book!
