Low Morrison is not your average teenager. You can blame her hippie parents or her short height or her dull, isolated homeland on an island in the Pacific Northwest. But whatever the reason, Low doesn’t fit in – and Freya, a once-popular social media influencer, now owns a pottery studio in town.

After signing up for a class, Low quickly fell in love with Freya. And Freya, excited by Low’s adoration, is forced to share her darkest secrets and deepest desires. In the end, the two felt familiar…that is, until Jamie walked through the studio door. Desperate to have children, she and her husband moved to the island in the hope of a clean environment that would lead to pregnancy. Freya and Jamie quickly became friends, as did their husbands, leaving Low alone once again.

Then one night, after a drunken dinner party, Freya offered to change partners. It should have been a harmless jaunt between consenting adults, a night of debauchery they would leave behind, but when one of the women became pregnant, Low found the perfect opportunity. to vent her growing resentment.

Robyn Harding delivers her acclaimed storytelling, hailed as “fast-paced, suspenseful, heart-pounding” by Taylor Jenkins Reid, New York Times bestselling author of Daisy Jones and the Six , for this dark and suspenseful thriller for fans of Megan Miranda and Lisa Jewell.

I listen to several audiobooks a week. Most of them
Is mysterious/thriller. Most lots are pretty much the same and predictable at this point. I often give up books midway due to poor writing. But this one interests me with a different plot. If you like the story of a female social killer (like me)… then this book is told from the perspective of the people in her life.

NO SPOILERS! This is exciting to hear.. a great combination of psychopathy and narcissism at its best. It’s no mystery but it’s thrilling to hear. I recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys domestic thrillers and seeing behind other people’s doors.

This is the first book I read by this author and it won’t be the last. Character development is on the right track – a narcissist, an outcast teenager, a woman with low self-esteem, a struggling novelist, and an ex-husband who is a hockey player. NHL hockey was mistreated. Phew 😅, I’m so glad Maggie ended up with the person she did. Thank you Lo!

This is a good audiobook with an interesting plot that keeps me interested. A bit long, but I would recommend this book. It teaches you to examine your relationships and think about the impact a bad decision or impulsive action can have on your relationship.
