A wild ride, thanks to Robinson and Baker!

A wild ride at the start… then, not so much.
Author J.A. Baker’s writing is captivating with “The Toxic Friend.” She is joined by one of my absolute favorite vocalists, Rose Robinson, whose narration is spot-on. She is next level – the woman is a master of vibes and dialects. Leaving London for Whitby, abandoning boyfriend Gareth, and going radio silent on her friend Celia. But Celia's worried. As Gareth and Celia embark on separate missions to find Eva, I was left wondering just who is the toxic friend? And that is where I got lost. Toxic friendships are one thing, but deadly? The plot and three main characters are confusing; Robinson's velvety tones is the 🍒 on top. I’ve accumulated a great collection of her books over the years and found myself listening two and even three times over several years.
