“No one expects the truth from me anyway.”

Perhaps one of the greatest audiobook experiences and one of the best audiobooks I’ve encountered in a while! 
In fact, I had to go and pick up the paperback copy too just to complete the collection and the reading journey 🫣. The format was just so good - I absolutely adored the podcast segments, especially as a true crime podcast listener. There were times when I forgot I was listening to a fictional story and not an actual podcast. 

The characters are complex, in an intriguing way. I mean…it’s a small town and that small town mentality is definitely depicted here. And what it means for a young woman to feel trapped in that setting. 

All the little twists and who interacted with whom had me shocked 😨. 
Plus, the interactions between Lucy and Ben were SO fascinating. Intrusive thought went wild too 🙃

Pick this uppppp
