I just listened to "Keep your friends close" by Lucinda Berry. If you haven't, I highly recommend you do. One of my favorites. That's what brought me here, and this one is heart wrenching. I can't imagine losing my child. She's my world.
For my reference while I listen because there are a lot of characters to remember... Kendra & Paul - parents of Sawyer (fatality) and Reese Dani & Brian - parents of Caleb (mute/traumatized) and Luna Lindsey & Andrew - parents of Jacob (coma), Wyatt, and Sutton
🎉🎉 thank you for this opportunity to listen to this amazing book. The story had me hooked from the beginning and was so real and relevant.. wow! Again thank you!
@OrangeySky11 How many books have you listened to or read?? It’s a shame that you and you're self-proclaimed expertise can view and equalize one story as the sum of all women and how they write.,., Why don't you write a novel and let's see what you come up with,... Thanks to all involved in sharing this very good, creative and unique story, that we all get to listen to for free🎉🎉
Great book. I did struggle a bit with one of the readers, I was not sure if she has a retainer or not, but I had to rewind her chapters a few times. However overall, I really enjoyed this book.
Any, Frieda McFadden book. The only one left by Riley sager The chain by Adrian McKinty Sometimes I lie by Alice feeney The silent patient by Alex The Paris apartment Lucy foley
The psych term is Stockholm Syndrome. They have feelings for their abuser as a coping strategy. Plus the isolating them from support, emotional abuse, coercive control & lovebombing/promising to change after violent incidents leaves victims too mentally ground down & conflicted to leave.
I have lost all hope that I can find more than one book every few months written by a woman that is not consumed in one way or another with her children. Is this truly all you know to write about? Using the relevancy of the times for a theme is pretty disgusting as well, at least to me, but I got as far as 39:26 before I had to throw in the towel. Mothers I least respect that have lost a child in horrific circumstances are the ones who make orphans out of their remaining children and that is the road the author is sending one of the characters down. It’s disgustingly selfish in real life and a poor plot choice for a book. Therefore, I will be leaving this ‘amazing’ book. ‘Amazing’? Really? You just turn these audiobooks on for background noise, don’t you?
You don’t seem to have much reading comprehension for someone who likes art and literature. It’s not ‘a story’ that makes me angry, it’s ‘most’ of the stories written by women. It’s invariably angst with their children, their husbands, their jobs, their mother-in-laws, their husbands ex wives, their step children etc etc. I mean I get that you should write about what you know, but it’s almost depressing and definitely disappointing when you’re looking for a good book and you simply know that listening to the first 15 minutes of most books written by women are going to be one or a combination of all of the above. This is just one more in a long list of books by women that did not make the cut for me. A book should be a get away, enjoyable, capable of grabbing your attention within the first 5 minutes and making you incapable of putting it down because you have to see what the next page holds, not a misery trip down someone’s pathetic, boring life. Understand any better? No, no you do not ….. background noise. Read this book and you might understand the difference …. ‘In An Instant’ by Suzanne Redfearn.
Well you don’t know where the plot goes because you didn’t finish it. Maybe it’s not your genre- plenty of Detective stories/ sci fi/ fantasy etc etc written by women too 😉
@OrangeySky11 Jeeze lady, take it down a notch. If you don't like it, go to the library or a book store. There are hundreds of thousands of books written by women that fall into a different genre.

For free?
Sure if the author uploads it, but this is a random person on the Internet. How do you know they have permission? Just curious.
@@Juhani139As long as audiobooks on YT insert a random music interlude at some point, copyright laws arent breached.
Thank you for uploading an audiobook that isn't using AI for the narration. Do Not Disturb by Frieda McFadden uses AI for the narration.
Thank you so much!!
Great book. I did struggle a bit with one of the readers, I was not sure if she has a retainer or not, but I had to rewind her chapters a few times. However overall, I really enjoyed this book.
Lindsay?
Same. I thought it sounded like she had an ill fitted denture.
So annoying
Great story
Rambling and really good❤
This is so good❤
Loved it .. thank you 😊
Good story but not much of a mystery. Anyone have any recommendations for intriguing mystery/thrillers?
How isn’t it a mystery? Im halfway thru and don’t know who did what or why.
Any, Frieda McFadden book.

Spoiler alert i guess. ****
Jeez with friends like these, who needs enemies?!
Danny is long-suffering and I'm slightly annoyed. I know DV is serious, but I'm frustrated.

Wow. You seem angry over a story that you can’t relate to? Many others can and that’s what art and literature is all about.
