Publisher Description
Victoria Barnett has it all: a great career as a nurse practitioner, a handsome and loving husband, a beautiful home in the suburbs, and a plan to fill it with children. Life is perfect—or so it seems. Then she’s in a terrible accident… and everything falls apart. Now Victoria is unable to walk. She can’t feed or dress herself. She can’t even speak. She is confined to the top floor of her house with twenty-four-hour care. Sylvia Robinson is hired by Victoria’s husband to help care for her. But it turns out Victoria isn’t as impaired as Sylvia was led to believe. There’s a story Victoria desperately wants to tell… if only she could get the words out. Then Sylvia discovers Victoria’s diary hidden away in a drawer. And what’s inside is shocking.
Customer Reviews
Great story
Story moved slow at the beginning. Seemed to be predictable but the twists were really good. The narrator was “blah” but tolerable.
Predictable, and a bit ridiculous
I’m usually a fan of McFadden but I predicted the plot twist for this book very early on, and I find it hard to believe that 2 healthy adults are fearful of someone whose body is completely paralyzed on one side.
And the narration, specifically for Victoria’s voice, was very hard to bear. Her voice borders on shrill. It made me cringe every time I listened to her perspective.
A must read!
Every female in a bad relationship must read this book. It could change your outlook!
