It's like having itches on my skin when I finished a book and ended up scrutinizing the characters and story instead of getting on with my life, bearing an idea that I'd made friends in the face of fictional characters and worlds. I find it weird and unlikely favorable. That's me after listening to an audio book version of One Little Lie by Sam Carrington, read by Rachel Atkins.

The weaving of storyline was okay, considering the interchangeable POV of numerous characters in each chapter. Although at times I thought it was dragging, mostly it was steady-paced, and the arching by the near end was...uh? It fell short. The only characters that ever struck me as slightly interesting, though, were Connie and Kyle. The rest gave me far-fetched impression, especially with Angela — although one can never really weigh in on a person like her's motives and inhibitions. I found the novel more a dramatic mystery thriller rather than the other way around.

To be fair, I'd like to commend the entire prose and Rachel Atkins' narration was incredible.
