What to expect

A dark, gripping, compulsive psychological thiller from bestseller Nina Manning

The perfect life? ...Or the perfect lie?

When Regi moves into her new house share, she's ready for a clean slate. A new home. A new routine. A new identity...

Desperate to escape the shadow of her past that follows her everywhere she goes, Regi finds the ideal distraction in the perfect lives of others on social media.

But as innocent scrolling turns into an unhealthy obsession, Regi will soon learn that seeking perfection comes at a price...

Perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell, K L Slater and Jackie Kabler.

Having read the review, was looking forward to listening to it. However, In my honest opinion after listening to it. I have to admit this is the lamest story I have ever listened to, and in no way would I class this as a psychological thriller.
Have given the naration 3 stars, only because it was well read. Must have been hard to make the book sound interesting
