“Lies, lies, lies, yeah” ~ Written and performed by The Thompson Twins.
3.5⭐️
Naomi has done her level best to move on from the tragedy that nearly took her life over 20 years ago. She struggles every single day with deep scars…physically and mentally.
She and her two besties, Cassidy and Olivia were only 11 years old and doing what they loved most. Playing together in the woods. As with most curious children, they had no fear. Until the day Naomi was attacked and almost killed.
Now over 20 years later she receives startling information regarding her attacker in prison, bringing Naomi back home to see her friends. Only the past won’t cooperate and stay in the past!
And oh man…secrets are about to be exposed.
Honestly, what led me to this audio was the narrator - Karissa Vacker, my absolute favorite. And yes, she did an amazing job! But I felt the premise is one that has repeatedly been done (in one variation or another). So, I had a majority of the twists already worked out.
Overall, I’m glad I had the chance to listen to this audio and will definitely be looking to see what this author has in store for us next!

Great review Kaceey! I have recently taken a liking to audiobooks, and if not the book itself, I will also look out for the narrator you suggested above.

I’m glad you enjoyed even though it didn’t offer anything new. Terrific review!
Honest review, Kaceey! 💙 I have this coming up on my agenda, so you have prepared me well on what to expect.
Ah sorry this didn't bring anything new to the table. At least the narrator was fuego! Great review 💖

Glad you mostly enjoyed this! I reviewed it for Booklist and gave it a starred review this month. Won’t be cross posting review on here, but thought the twist was clever!

I'm happy for you ☺️ Kacey, that you have a great experience with this narrator, but sorry that this is over done. I know what you mean and hope your next one is better.

Glad the audio enhanced this for you! Definitely agree that this plot has been done many times before. Glad you still enjoyed it though!
Love the Thompson Twins reference… “If I was King for Just One Day” I would read for most of the day! This one is definitely on my list. Thanks Kaceey!
I do like this narrator, but I'm sorry the story wasn't as exciting! Great review, Kaceey!

Excellent review Kaceey, you have me excited for this one!
Fantastic review Kaceey! 💗 I’m looking forward to reading this one!
I didn’t like the MC in this book love the narrator but once they got to the part where they revealed their plate thing in the woods I was over it that’s just ridiculous… I mean really? She’s traumatized by all these past events but not by having that as a play thing… Come on!
Oooo, I have the audio. I didn't know she was the narrator. So glad to hear it. Great review, Kaceey!!! xx
