Better Than Expected

After listening to Slater's "Liar," I was bracing myself for another bad ending, but was pleasantly surprised. This is a tightly-plotted, evocatively-written story that I thoroughly recommend. Slater does an excellent job of making the reader understand the vulnerability of abuse victims and the mentally ill, and how tragedy can shape bright, ordinary people into crushingly sad and neurotic members of society.

Just ok

It was just ok, I didnt see the twists coming because it seemed like the story switched altogether. I actually had to restart after a few chaptera because I was lost on the characters.

Not the best

Not the most interesting book I have listened to. Anna is a bit boring and the story is drawn out. Used my credit for it and wish now that I had not.

Ridiculous Story

Don't bother. Ridiculous plot and same descriptions of her inner turmoil over and over ad nausem. The plot was so twisted that you did not know what was going on. Anna the main character had NO redeeming qualities and not at all likable or relatable. I believe the author tried to put TOO much mystery that it was completely lost. I often listen to my books more than once but I cannot bring myself to listen to it again. I really wanted to like the story.
Thank goodness the book was free

Lucy Price-Lewis was fantastic with the delivery of the story and the only reason I finished the book

Unexpected

Loved the twists and turns in this one. Even enjoyed listening to it more than once. I feel there are some grey areas in the story line though that don't make sense, however maybe they aren't supposed to or maybe they are lost on me. That however doesnt distract from thus being a great listen.

Similar in some ways to her other book secrets

I liked it But it really runs close to other book secrets. Woman has a crush on a man who isn't interested. Boy being beaten. It kept me interested though I never cared for the main characters.

Just a time passer

The story is a little mundane. It struggled to keep my attention. It is an average story. Nothing really exciting. Very predictable.

Starts out super slow

This one unlike the other books starts out slow and keeps you guessing at everything until the last couple of chapters. I have a love hate relationship with the characters. I don’t understand the “logic” or lack of logic behind the characters. Ivy confuses me and I feel like there were too many started but unfinished characters in this particular book.

Is Anyone NOT Nuts?

I was entertained, from beginning to end, but frustrated, too. I guess if pretty much all the important characters in the story are at least 75% crazy, it’s reasonable that their behaviors are unpredictable and far-fetched, but it makes for somewhat difficult reading. I think I might’ve liked fewer characters with a deeper story.

Good not up to par with her other stories

Good but story made me feel depressed. I couldn’t relate or feel empathy for any of the characters. Still good, though.
