I really enjoy Alice Feeney as a storyteller, and this thriller was no exception. A bit slow at the start, but once that tension starts building it’s pretty fast-paced and revelatory at each turn. I enjoy the unreliable narrator trope and didn’t find the two leads to be particularly likable, but I was still connected with them. I thought I’d figured out the twist, but I was wrong (which I always love!), and this one came with several twists. I did find the ending a little difficult to understand at first read…literal WTF moment of pause. But after sitting with it a bit I was happy with the way things panned out. Very dark, very twisty, and lots of context clues throughout that had me saying “oooh wow” at the end. Only taking 1 star off because I felt some of the motivations were a little confusing and it was a bit hard to get into at the start. Overall though, I really enjoyed this dark thriller.
‼️Also, trigger warning for child SA and r*pe.

Wow! His & Hers was a surprise! I know Alice Feeney has become quite popular recently for her Thrillers, but even with the best of intentions and planning to read her previous work, this was my first book of hers. This audiobook kept me engaged from the very beginning. The differing perspectives, with their excellent narration, and the mysterious distorted voice for one character captured my attention and made me eager to continue. I certainly love an audiobook that makes me look for extra chores around the house so I can keep listening. This is productivity at its finest!
I was certain about halfway through I had pegged the ending of this story, and for any other Thriller, I might have been right. Luckily for readers (and listeners), Alice Feeney had a few tricks up her sleeve that literally made my jaw drop! I won’t give too much away because it’s best to go into this story as blind as I did. It made for a very fun listen that had my heart pumping double time!
I rarely give content warnings when it comes to stories, but I’m beginning to see the necessity of them when it comes to certain books. I did struggle with some of the subject matter in this story – from animal abuse, to sexual grooming and rape, to a young same-sex relationship. I especially struggled with the underage rape in this story and was surprised the book contained it in the first place. However, as we begin to learn more about how often these things happen in our world, it is important to raise awareness. Oftentimes, we think things like this aren’t happening and definitely not as frequently as it currently seems. This should be a sensitive subject for everyone.
While I struggled to listen to the detail of certain events in the book, especially in the latter half of the story, I couldn’t give this book anything less than five stars for the pure shock of the ending. This was a great audiobook!

Another very good thriller from Alice Feeney. In my mind, it was unguessable. The audiobook was excellently performed.

Good listen! I wasn’t immediately drawn into this book but love Alice Feeney and wanted to give it a shot. The ending throws you for a loop.
Forced to travel to her home town to report on a murder Anna is struck by painful memories, a sick mother, and her ex husband who is the lead investigator on the case.
