Many thanks to NetGalley, Amazon Publishing | Thomas & Mercer, and Brilliance Publishing for gifting me an audio ARC of the latest book by Brianna Labuskes, narrated by Moniqua Plante, Jess Moran, and Maria McCann. All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 4 stars!
When journalist Holland Tate is granted an interview with Catriona Bouchard, her former best friend turned mega-popular tradwife, she jumps at the chance to also possibly rewrite their bitter ending. But at the Bouchards’ gated compound, what she finds is not the independent woman she once knew. Cat may have six beautiful children and be married to the man she calls the love of her life, but she’s a ghost of her former self.
I'm a fan of this author and because of that, I chose this book as my Amazon First Reads pick, and was then thrilled to get the audiobook. I love an audiobook with more than one narrator, and thought the audio production was wonderful. Told in different timelines and from the voices of both Holland and Cat, there is also chapters from a detective's POV. I appreciated the unreliable narrators and found myself second-guessing everyone and their motives. There's also themes of domestic violence, parasocial behavior, social media, and female friendships. I was quite surprised at the final twist!
