Her Perfect Life: A Novel of Sisters and Secrets

If I would have picked up a hard copy of this book I would have undoubtedly dropped it. There was only one thing I wanted to find out and normally I would have skipped pages to get to that part, read it then just drop the book. But while listening to the book, that seemed harder to do so I just didn't bother. Instead, I increased the speech speed and got on with it. And I might have dropped it anyway, but the narrator, Stina Nielsen, did such a great job, I really enjoyed listening to her.

First thing that was off with this book: Her Perfect Life is a mystery and thriller book, but it is such a weak mystery and no thriller. It's very easy to figure out exactly what's happening and nothing comes as a surprise. There were also things I would have wanted more detail about, like Eileen and Clare's relationship, I feel like some parts were left unexplored.

I don't find myself caring for any of the characters or relating to them. Relating to the characters isn't a must when I'm reading something, but caring for them is a big thing to be missing. I didn't feel any of their pain or emotion, it wasn't there for me.

Another bit I didn't like, and this is small-ish thing, but it really annoyed me how often I heard 'bitch' at some point in the book.

So yeah, definitely not the best book I listened too, but it served as good background noise while doing stuff.
