Publisher's summary

Twenty-one year old Violet Kale has fallen out of love with life. A dissolute figure, she drifts along with her friend Lisa (mother of a baby daughter Maria), reluctant to take responsibility for anything except her own pleasure. When Violet wakes up after a three-day drug and alcohol binge to the sound of her friend's baby Maria crying with hunger, on a whim she steals Maria away, heading on a journey to a new land, and seeing in the child a chance of a new future, and a hope for salvation....

Boring

This book had zero point. All the way to the ending which still showed no point to the story. Wasted 8 hours of my life. The narrator wasn’t bad though.

Wanted to like it

The story had a lot of holes and loose ends. I kept waiting for a plot twist or everything to come together but the ending was pretty stale and disappointing.

Great book if you don’t have ano else to read.

Book is slow moving and choppy. Goes from present to past and can be difficult to “get into”. Several story lines but none of them seem to come to a conclusion.

Super great!

I really, really loved this story. Great performance. Excellently written! I hope to read more from this author as I have become a big Laura Wake fan in the last few hours. Thanks for a great listen L.W. and Audible.

I've got mixed feelings

I've got the kind of mixed feeling like when you go to kiss your cruch for the very first time and are revolted by the taste of trash....good story but not sure where we were going in the story and did we ever get there???

Narration was great!

The story left me hanging with so many questions and no explanations! I thought there would at least be answers to explain her crazy decisions with some mental issues but nope.

Weird ending

It was ok but the ending felt unfinished like there is too many unanswered questions.

What did I just listen to???

There was absolutely no point to this book. The storyline never started. I kept waiting for something to develop, I even skipped a few minutes here and there in hopes of something….. nothing and the ending was just as bad/confusing
