Summary

Maria wants to be friends.

But Maria is dead.

Isn't she?

When Louise Williams receives a message from someone left long in the past, her heart nearly stops.

Maria Weston wants to be friends on Facebook.

Maria Weston has been missing for over 25 years. She was last seen the night of a school leavers' party, and the world believes her to be dead. Particularly Louise, who has lived her adult life with a terrible secret. As Maria's messages start to escalate, Louise forces herself to reconnect with the old friends she once tried so hard to impress. Trying to piece together exactly what happened that night, she soon discovers there's much she didn't know. The only certainty is that Maria Weston disappeared that night, never to be heard from again - until now....

Narrator sounds monotone!

I stuck with it but my god it was hard! The story was OK, probably better if actually read or narrated by someone with a bit more inflection in her voice.... she sounded numb/bored! I guess I want to hear the emotion when I'm listening to a book! The overall story was interesting if not a little predictable but it kept me company whilst I cleaned.

Quite Good

I found it difficult to stick with it. The idea behind it was good but it wasn't remotely gripping. A few times I was just going to set it aside. The narration didn't help. Her voice was flat, no undulation or drama. I think using a different narrator could give it a bit of oomph and eager to find out what was going to happen next.

ok

story held my interest well enough but the outcome was a bit of a stretch tbh.
the narrator wasn't great - spoke really quite fast and not enough varying expression, pace or tone.
