About this audiobook
“Amber Garza has upped the game on the classic stalker novel! . . . A fast-paced, beautifully plotted book.” —Samantha Downing, USA Today bestselling author of My Lovely Wife
You meets Fatal Attraction in this up-all-night story of suspicion, obsession and motherhood.
It all begins on an ordinary fall morning, when Kelly Medina gets a call from her son’s pediatrician to confirm her upcoming “well-baby” appointment. It’s a cruel mistake; her son left for college a year ago, and Kelly’s never felt so alone. The receptionist quickly apologizes: there’s another mother in town named Kelly Medina, and she must have gotten their numbers switched.
For days, Kelly can’t stop thinking about the woman who shares her name. Lives in her same town. Has a son she can still hold, and her whole life ahead of her. She can’t help looking for her: at the grocery store, at the gym, on social media. When Kelly just happens to bump into the single mother outside that pediatrician’s office, it’s simple curiosity getting the better of her.
Their unlikely friendship brings Kelly a renewed sense of purpose—taking care of this young woman and her adorable baby boy. But that friendship quickly turns to obsession, and when one Kelly disappears, well, the other one may know why.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I didn't like this book at all: despised the main characters, the plot is flat and predictable. Can't relate the five-star reviews.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Could NOT put this down! I kind of figured it out early on; but thankful I stayed for the full ride as it was truly a wild one!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Well written & a really good read. Big Lifetime movie kind of feels.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I throughly enjoyed listening this book. The story easily draws you in and keeps you interested, waiting to see what happens next. Would highly recommend.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5It was really good! Only took 1 star off cuz I guessed one of the big twists way early on, and cuz I wish the end had been a bit more definitive about what happened afterward for the main character and the baby. But very well written and kept me interested the whole way thru!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book was SO good! I could not put the book down

I've been in a reading slump for awhile this book pulled me right out of it. Lots of twists and turns. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5So this was a slow go for me. The main character was driving me crazy but I kept with it and I’m so glad I did!!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Suspense! And a roller coaster wrapped up into one!!! This was a good book love how at one point I was wondering if young Kelly was really and imagination of the older Kelly until it all hit the fan!!! Good read/listen!!!! ??????????
