About this listen
Meet Rachel. She is caught in a spiral of endless crying, dirty nappies, and sleepless nights. She fears for her sanity - and the safety of her children. She's lonely.
Meet Adam. Suffering from the pain and trauma of a terrible accident that he blames himself for, he stays at home, unable to bring himself to leave the house. He's lonely.
So when Rachel and Adam rekindle their long lost friendship online, what starts as a little harmless flirtation soon becomes an unhealthy obsession, and slowly the threads of their lives unravel before them.
Four lonely people. Two unhappy marriages. One dangerous but inevitable climax.

Too miserable for me
I appreciate that a story about a woman with post-natal depression, her long-suffering husband and her old chum suffering from overwhelming guilt, is not going to be a barrel of laughs. I did however expect to feel a level of sympathy for the characters but unfortunately it never came. The main problem for me was that the first chapter meandered around the past and the present and the narrator did not employ any pauses so I could not pick up that the story was now in different time zone. As a result the overall effect was a turgid stream of consciousness which was frankly quite boring. I did stick with this until chapter three but without any discernible improvement, I gave up and will return this.

Only managed one hour!
The quality of the writing is good, as is the narration. However, after listening for one hour, I had to admit defeat. I’m not a ‘chic lit’ person and enjoy some dark crime novels, but this book (at least in the early stages) is frankly depressing. It may move on past the internal struggles of the mother with obvious post natal depression and the poor neglected baby, but, sadly, it didn’t do so soon enough for me.

Odd but compulsive
I had to keep listening but very odd story. The individual stories were good of the two families. Very raunchy scenes with the two main characters.
