His & Hers
by Alice Feeney
Reviewed on: Ashes Books & Bobs.
Many thanks to Libro.fm for the chance to listen to this book early!
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!
