Summary
No-one remembers your past. But you do.
'Antonia, Antonia. My name is Antonia....'
It's been her name for many years. But sometimes, like tonight, she forgets. Antonia has a secret. A secret so dark and so deep that she can barely admit it to herself. Instead, she treats herself to Friday night sessions of self-harm while her husband, David, is at the pub and her best friend, Sophie, is drinking too much wine a few doors down.
Nobody close to her knows the truth about what the teenage Antonia saw all those years ago. No-one, that is, except her mother. But Candy is in a care home now, her mind too addled to remember the truth. Antonia is safe. Isn't she?
The lies start small. They always do. But when the tightly woven story you've told yourself begins to unravel, the truth threatens to come to the surface. And then what's going to happen?

What genre is this and where is it going?
I stuck with this for 6 1/2 out of the 11 1/2 hours. More than that, I even enjoyed it for 4 of those. I found the characters quite engaging, if not likeable. I was never sure what it was or where it was going though. Crime fiction, a thriller, chic lit? None of those really. Unfortunately, eventually, not only did I have no idea where it was going, I no longer cared. I had spent enough time with the characters and, well, life is too short to continue once bored. I will return it.

Disappointing ending
Overall quite a good story, it was a bit all over the place with too many main characters which made it slightly confusing in places and the ending was a let down, nothing was resolved and it leaves you with a 'is that it' and feeling very disappointed, maybe it's just me but I like a conclusion to my stories.

Waste of time
This is a very VERY boring story. Nothing about the “plot” or characters draws you in. I kept looking at how many pages were left thinking at some point SOMETHING intriguing will occur. And then the big reveal occurs and it’s as predictable as rain when it’s already raining. The ONE thing I held on for...the paternity reveal...NEVER HAPPENED. Shallow characters,dragging story, and the narrator does not pause long enough between sections to alert the listener that character perspective has changed.
Disappointing!

Could not follow
I tried to connect and follow this book but just couldn't. To many characters to keep up with and no direction.

Disappointed
This book was very hard to stay in. Jumping from character situation to another situation within minutes of each other. No consistent story line. I finished it hoping there would be a huge twist that would make the chaos worth it but there was not. The narrator did an exceptional job.
