Crazy Love You

A Novel

By: Lisa Unger

Narrated by: Jeremy Bobb

“It’s crazy good.” —Associated Press

New York Times bestselling author Lisa Unger is “one of the brightest stars in the game” (Dennis Lehane) and she is at the top of her game with Crazy Love You, a tale that is both “mesmerizing and unnerving from its first pages to its stunner of an ending” (Megan Abbott, author of The Fever).

“The pages fly by as Ian, the most unreliable narrator since Nick Dunne in Gone Girl leads us on a wild ride in this superb psychological thriller.” —Booklist (starred review)

Darkness has a way of finding Ian when he is with Priss. Even when they were kids, playing in the woods of their small upstate New York town, he could feel it. Still, Priss was his best friend, his salvation from the bullies who teased him mercilessly and from his family’s deadly secrets.

Now that they’ve both escaped to New York City, Ian is no longer the tortured victim. He is a talented and successful graphic novelist, and Priss…Priss is still trouble. The booze, the drugs, the sex—Ian is growing tired of late nights together trying to forget the past. Especially now that he’s met sweet, beautiful Megan, whose love makes him want to change for the better. But Priss doesn’t like change. Change makes her angry. And when Priss is angry, terrible things begin to happen…

Big Let Down

WOW, was not excepting half of that happen...had me really second guessing myself. Everything was being built up and slowly ending to a creepy and scary ending...then it just let me down. I was really expecting an ending that made me sick and looking over my shoulder, but nope. It all ending to sweet and perfect for me. Not that I don't want a sweet ending, it's just that it was unexpected after all that happened.

Excellent!!!

Another great novel by one of my favorite authors!! Well developed, likable characters and story kept me guessing the whole time!!!

Different

I had mixed feelings about this story. I enjoyed it and the writing was well done. The characters were thought out and the story kept me on the edge of my seat to where I had to keep listening. To me it was worth listening to but it was just ok to me.

Interesting book but the end fizzled for me

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

Yes - I enjoyed listening to the story but was hoping for a better and more realistic "twist".

Any additional comments?

I love Lisa Unger - she is one of my favorites. I bought this book without reading the reviews and did not expect the "ghostly" direction that it took. I kept waiting for one of her great twists but it for me it did not arrive.

Spooky and suspenseful

The story was excellent. Plenty of twists and turns. The narration/performance was great. Good pacing and emotion. My only critique is that the fiancé’s name was switched throughout from Megan to Molly multiple times. It took me awhile to figure out this was a mistake and not another character. Definitely worth a listen.
