About this listen

Victoria Barnett has it all: a great career as a nurse practitioner, a handsome and loving husband, a beautiful home in the suburbs, and a plan to fill it with children. Life is perfect—or so it seems. Then she’s in a terrible accident...and everything falls apart. Now Victoria is unable to walk. She can’t feed or dress herself. She can’t even speak. She is confined to the top floor of her house with 24-hour care.

Sylvia Robinson is hired by Victoria’s husband to help care for her. But it turns out Victoria isn’t as impaired as Sylvia was led to believe. There’s a story Victoria desperately wants to tell...if only she could get the words out. Then Sylvia discovers Victoria’s diary hidden away in a drawer. And what’s inside is shocking.

Terrible narrator

I enjoyed the story overall but the narrator was so bad I almost stopped listening to it multiple times. The breathy voice, particularly of Victoria, was completely off putting and extremely annoying. I will never listen to another book from this narrator.

Really enjoyed this!

This book was really good, the suspense, and the twist, were so entertaining! The only reason this isn't a 4-star read for me personally is because it feels so similar to her other books that the twists weren't quite as shocking to me.
