This was the weakest of all the stories in this collection for me, mostly because it was dark in a way that was unnecessary and in my opinion not well done? 

Why would any women want to may a known rapist especially if the man raped your best friend?


This could have been a good story with just a different kind of twist to it, but as much as I wished it would go into that direction it never did. 

Killing the rapist would have been a nice twist, for example?


As it is, I can’t say I enjoyed any of it. Party because it was unnecessarily sexualized in moments where it was unnecessary to even mention sex at all, the story was too slow and top of fast at the same time and the characters not only completely unlikable but also just horrible and thankfully fictional..

Not a story for me!

Could you just skate by after knowing that your husband raped your friend, even though it happened years ago?

This was an interesting read. It teaches a good lesson that the grass is in fact not always greener on the other side. This was the last part of the Never Tell Collection on kindle unlimited Amazon original stories and I felt it was a good way to wrap it up.

ARC provided off NetGalley for Never Tell Collection

This was a dark one to end the series, everyone deeply unlikable and also in the end a bit mundane.
