You Deserve to Know

By: Aggie Blum Thompson

Libby audiobook 10 hours

Read by: Alex Picard

Published: 2025

Genre: suspense


I've listened to just over three hours of this book and have decided to allow myself to NOT find out what Anton thought Amy "deserved to know" or who killed Anton or why.


I did not like these characters. Any of them.


Anton and Gwen with their awful marriage, his infidelities and lies about his writing, Gwen being the "interloper" in Lisa's and Amy's friendship . . . just so much yuk.


Marcus and Lisa weren't much better. She lied and made excuses (fake ankle injury because she didn't like skiing, stealing Gwen's Xanax just to mess with her . . . ) and then admitted to keying an ex-boyfriend's new GF's car and only regretting it because she was caught on camera! What an awful human being!


Scott and Amy were interesting but also petty and fake. Scott's evasiveness and excuses, Amy's unwillingness to have boundaries for "the boys," . . . ugh. I just didn't like these people very much.


So despite my curiosity about the mystery elements of this story, I'm returning it unfinished. It's a gift I'm giving myself. Lots of other books await my attention!
