Summary

The enthralling new psychological thriller from the best-selling author of The Girl Before.

When Abbie Cullen met Tim Scott, she was a struggling artist and he was the brilliant British cofounder of one of Silicon Valley's most successful start-ups.

Within six months, they were married. But when she promised him in her wedding vows that she would love him forever, she had no idea just how literally he would take it....

disappointing end

really enjoyed this book until the final hour or so. the ending felt rushed and just frankly felt flat. no unexpected twists or turn of events as such.

Oh My Goodness...

An absolute must read!! Have read a few by this author and love his ability to build suspense and develop interesting characters. This book attempted something very different but also very real. It gave life to the idea of AI in a way no other book I’ve read has. Whether you’re interested in tech or not, it’s a fantastic story

Uniquely moving and lifechanging

3 hours in and I nearly gave up on this book but I am so very grateful that I didnt, where the story goes is far and wide, disturbing, shocking, meaningful and a life changer. This book will leave you as a different person. Brilliant.

Didn't disappoint

Saskia, as a narrator is fantastic in the first place, so I was happy enough to listen along. The story takes you on quite a journey, guessing and surmising the whole way through, not the story I was expecting, but one even better! I enjoy the futuristic view of the book, makes you think that this could one day be a possibility. Recommended read.

Didn’t want it to end

Loved listening to this.
Sure it’s slightly implausible, but it’s a ripping story and well narrated.

Highly entertaining

I loved the story as well as the performances. But the best part about it was how emotional the story became considering the expectations one may have of how an AI should behave.

Will try another by this author

I'm not sure if it was amazing or confusing. Certainly had no idea where it was going, and not 100% sure I get it. But grabbed my attention and kept me hooked.
