The Whispers by Ashley Audrain

2.5

I'm so sorry but I forgot I read this as soon as I finished it. I was finishing up the audiobook as I sat down with dinner and TV and the book totally escaped my mind as soon as I started my episode of Love is Blind. This is much more of a character study than I was expecting and reminded me a bit of "Little Fires Everywhere," which I also did not like. And I think part of that is that I'm just not a fan of character studies, and part of it just makes me think I'm not the intended audience. This is very much a domestic thriller vibe and it also has a lot to say about motherhood and marriage. (Goes without saying, that is not where I am on my journey...) In the end, I think I'm just not the target audience. I probably should've DNF'd because I know myself but I wanted to give it a shot.
