Unabridged Audiobook
The narrator did good. No issues there. The plot was good and the ending sorta twisty, but the main character wore me out. She’s pretty whiny and that started to really grate on my nerves about 1/3 of the way in. Don’t regret purchasing, but wouldn’t listen to it if you’re a little grouchy.
The main character,Amy, was immature and down right dumb The repetitiveness of her stupid thoughts will drive anyone reading this insane. And the idea that she wanted to be a doctor made no sense because she certainly didn’t have the brain of piss ant. I just want to forget I ever read this book.
This Author has a creative mind anyone can appreciate. I have a hard time re reading books because my mind can figure things out pretty quick and I have a great memory. But her books. I feel like I have never read a mystery book. It's amazing. As soon as I put my finger on what is going on. The book laughs at me and says here's another twist. I get a little motion sickness there is that many turns. The only time I have ever loved to be in that kinda state. The last chapters always blow my mind. This book did not disappoint. And the narrator was really good. I hate when robots read there's no heart no different emotions. This narrator was good.
Interesting and kept me listening. Psych thriller on psych ward. I wonder the wisdom of books that completely misrepresentation mental health hospitals when (as a society) we are trying to encourage people to seek help (including hospitals) for mental health.
Very repetitive and immature writing at times. If you ever forget how the main character’s ex boyfriend broke up with her, never fear. You’ll be retold about 30 times in the first half of the book. The narrator seems to stress some words incorrectly or at least is unable to show nuanced emotions through her tone. Overall not worth the time.
Well done good read
The worst book I’ve read in years. This felt like it was written for a twelve year old girl. The main character is an insult to women in general but especially women in medicine. She’s whiny, wimpy and dumb. The numerous breaches of patient confidentiality were so absurd. It was slow, painful and boring. The “twists” were predictable. I’m a big fan of McFadden but this book was awful.
Superb stuff. I picked this book at random. And so glad I did. The narrator gave it extra depth.
Really enjoyed this book and a great twist
ABSOLUTELY AWESOME! My favorite fiction of the decade! I will read/listen to more if this author!! Please dont miss this!! Funny, thrilling, intriguing, a bit scary( if u ever spend the night on a locked down psyche unit!)
Awful. As others have said, the central character is, at best, annoying and immature. The dialogue, particularly at the start of track 59 encapsulates how bad it is. The script wouldn’t be out of place in Scooby Doo. Avoid.
Slow and hard to listen to the narrator
Very good book made trip from Lubbock to Tyler fly by
Great author!
It was a good book. Lots of turns and twist!
story build to a great climax
pretty clever. nice read.
Fantastic, loved it
Fair book, fair narration. Not great.
I got this book as a free vip book and it wasn’t bad I liked it
interesting not her best
Narrator was great! Book was great! I didn’t see the twist coming. I knew there would be one but didn’t figure it out.
Would love a part 2
Another book that kept me interested! We all have a bit of those characters!
The end was disappointing
Would recommend this book
In moments throughout the book, the audio didn’t match what was stated in the physical book.
I am a big Freida McFadden fan, and while the story was good, the main character in this book was overly dramatic. The constant over thinking of everything and narration was annoying. She seemed like a high school student. I stuck it out til the end, but the main character, or maybe the narration, had me second thinking it.
Good read!
Great book !
Good twists
Good - very enjoyable
Good listen good plot twist
All over the place over the top would give this a miss narrator
I enjoy this author’s books and don’t regret reading this one but also (seeing other comments on here) found the main character annoying and unpleasant. I would worry immensely about anyone with her lack of boundaries and maturity around psychiatric patients—much harm could be done with her projections and judgmental demeanor. The novel dragged more than Frieda McFaddens other page-turner but again, I still enjoy her books!
Enjoyed the book. It was entertaining. I thought i knew the twist but it switched up here and there.
did not love it, but is still good
always a great listen with her books! enjoyed this one!
Good read, easy listen. The story kept me intrigued and wanting to discover what happens next
A twist i didn't see coming as always with Freida books. just when you think you know what is going to happen!
This was a great read keep my interest the whole time all the way through to the end would love a second book of Amy and Wills life story
Overall, I thought the book was very interesting and had my attention throughout nice job
really enjoyed this, looking forward tomore from Freida McFadden
I found this book to be enjoyable
If a book isn’t based on facts, then I accept it for what it is…. Entertainment. And it did entertain me! Amy wore me out! But I had fun trying to figure it out the who, what, and why! I had a blast yelling at dumb dumb Amy, trying to figure out if there was going to be a hero and who would it be. The twists really got me! I had so much fun reading that book! I finished it in two days.
Great twist at the end of the book. Loved listening along. Thanks Freida
Loved this! First Freida McFadden book and I am hooked!
I had a hard time suspending my belief in the real world for this book to feel plausible. The ending was almost satisfactory, but I don't think I would recommend the book to anyone.
Can’t explain how much I love Frieda McFadden. Her books are always *chefs kiss*. Great narrator and wonderful story.
I thought in the middle in knew the ending. I was wring. Very good listen very good narriator.
this book was so boring. could have been edited to 1/3
“Locked room” mysteries aren’t my favorite, but Freida McFadden makes it work. Fabulous twist in the last few minutes.
Easy listen for the most part. I felt like it was predictable towards the end when the drama really picked up. i wish the main character didn't whine so much, an absolute nervous wreck. if you want a casual background book this is a good one but it wasn't mind-blowing or frightening. I think the author did well with her ending and expanding on the main character the way she did. overall it felt teen fiction with an unrealistic psych ward twist.
The beginning of the book was really strong and kept me engaged though as the story progressed it became cringe and corny.
I was waiting for it to get really good…
Did not like it at all. It just dragged on and on and at times was very repetitive. Also the narrator was very annoying to me. She just doesn’t write with any depth. Very surface level stiff and predictable.
Hated how the narrator said schizophre(e)nia, but otherwise a fine novel. More tolerable than The Teacher, but I still don't really understand why Freida Mcfadden is such a big hit.
Was a good read. Didn’t expect the ending at all
I loved it!
