Publisher's summary

“You’re not going to murder me in the night, are you?” Emily asks.

“Hahaha. That’s funny,” I say.

Of course, I’m not going to murder her in the night. I need my laptop back first. That’s the whole point of making friends with Emily Harper, author of the hugely successful novel Diary of an Octopus. So I could get into her apartment and take back what’s mine.

Emily doesn’t know who I really am. She thinks I’m her biggest fan, her new best friend who happens to need a place to stay for a few days. She doesn’t realize the laptop she found—and took—from a busy airport almost two years ago was mine. I don’t care about the laptop, just what's on it: my diary.

I kept it many years ago as a troubled thirteen-year-old girl with a vivid imagination and a flair for the dramatic. Now she's published it as her own.

She thinks it's a story about a schoolgirl’s crush on her teacher, but she’s wrong. It’s a story about a murder. Two murders, if you count the hamster.

She thought it was okay to make a few changes and publish it under her own name, but she was wrong about that too.

Because, sometimes, truth is deadlier than fiction.

A no for me

I didn’t care for the story line. I also didn’t really like the narrators voice all that much. This is probably my least favorite of Ms. Barelli’s book.

unexpectedly entertaining

I didn't think I could listen to it, but I stayed the course, and it turned out to be actually engaging. It would have greatly gained from being performed by a better reader, one who sounded less ditzy and irritating.

Vocal fry

I really enjoyed the story. Great twists. But the amount of vocal fry given to every character made it difficult to listen to. I have never left a negative review for anything, but this was almost unlistenable.

Story was very good.

The narrator was not good. All the women’s voices other than the main character and Emily were gravelly, old, not easy to listen to.

Mystery

Good story but I didn’t enjoy the reading. Her voice made all the supporting characters sound old and sad…

Who Really Done It?

The performance was very good. The Reader did a great job switching between characters.
The plot was extremely twisty and very tedious. I was happy when it was over.
