About this listen

How well do you really know the people you work with?

For work wives Debra and Quinn, it's a case of opposites attract. They are each other's lifelines as they navigate office politics and jobs that pay the bills but don't inspire them.

Outside work, they are also friends, but where Quinn is addicted to dating apps and desperate to find love, Deb has sworn off men. Although Deb is not close to her own mother, her teenage daughter is her life and there's nothing she wouldn't do to protect her. But Ramona has other ideas and is beginning to push boundaries.

Life becomes even more complicated by the arrival of a new man at the office. One woman is attracted to him, while the other hoped she'd never meet him again.

But when Deb, Quinn and Ramona are forced to choose between friends, love and family, the ramifications run deeper than they could ever have expected.

The latest novel by bestselling, ABIA award-winning author Rachael Johns will make you laugh, cry and wonder what secrets your friends are keeping!

Missed CW's narration

A different type of story to this wonderful authors normal stories... it was ok but much prefer Rachel's farming community stories and in depth characters much more
Certainly missed CW's wonderful narration and voice too on this one. . Found the narators voice squeakily annoying.

A bit overdone

I found this book a bit predictable and the big 'twist' an overdone trope. I actually tried to return it after the first couple of chapters because I wasn't enjoying the story or the narration, but wasn't able to for some reason so I persevered. Definitely not my favourite recent read.

Loved this book! I finished it days ago (audio this time as I was talking forever to read it so audio in the car when ever I was driving).. but it’s been days and I miss the characters.. I keep going to listen to more only I have to remind myself I finished it! That’s a sign of a great book!

A Ho Hum from me.

Not really my type of story but I lasted the distance. I found it somewhere between mundane and far fetched. I wasn’t a fan of the narrators high pitched voices, but it was read well. I went for the entire ride, but was looking forward to the end.

Easy listening

Easy listening. Likeable characters.

* mild spoiler*

Hated that the “twist” perpetuates the patriarchal “good guy” vs “monster” dichotomy. Monsters can be charming and the men we least expect.

So enjoyable

I always love all of Rachael’s books but I especially liked this one. Clever twists and plots proved my predictions wrong and kept me guessing throughout.
