Everywhere You Look

Never Tell Collection

De: Liv Constantine

Narrado por: Ellen Quay

All it takes is one shocking revelation on a New York street for a woman to unlock the secrets and lies of her past in a twisty short story by the bestselling author of The Last Mrs. Parrish.

It’s been ten years since Jade lost her father in a tragic accident, and the lingering guilt and grief have dragged her down to rock bottom. Then one night, she’s out at a restaurant and sees the impossible through the window: her father, alive. By the time she reaches the crowded sidewalk, he has disappeared. After so much despair, Jade isn’t going to lose him again—no matter what sinister truths may come from following him.

Liv Constantine’s Everywhere You Look is part of Never Tell, a heart-pounding collection of stories about secrets, lies, and mind games. They can be read or listened to in one sitting. Just keep the endings to yourself.

That was great!

Short story to pass a lunch hour and little more. It was packed with secrets and intrigue. I have to say I enjoyed the way this story turned out. It had an engaging storyline and and a great narrator.

Everywhere You Look. Story was great. Plot very interesting but kind of sad at the end finding out the truth.

The overall story line was interesting and sad for the lead character. Maybe all will go well for their futures.
The narrator sounded like a little girl. She would be great for children’s books/audios.

Pretty good short

I liked this mystery short story. The part that bothered me most was that it kept going back and forth in time. I started to lose track of when it was happening.

decent not great

This is a short book. Less than 50 pages. About an hour in audio. The first few pages are past leading up to why she has come to the restaurant to say goodbye. She caught her boyfriend cheating on her. He kicked her out of the house. She is lonely and depressed. Her dad was her everything. Her boyfriend had kept her going. It's a lot of background and character building for such a short story, but it worked amazingly.

The twist is incredible but far-fetched. It was mildly predictable. It's worth the read because it's short, but if it had been stretched out with the same ending, I probably would have passed.

Well written, quick read. A good jump start when you're in a slump.

Umm, disjointed.

I am a huge liv Constantine fan, but this book had way too many random things going on that didn’t seem to do anything for the plot. Very disconnected and just a bunch of random characters that didn’t really flow.

Depressing Content But Interesting Ending

I was so excited to see new material from this author as The Last Mrs. Parrish was amazing. This short has a lot of depressing content throughout.. but the ending was unexpected and interesting. My wheels were working throughout the story. I was hoping to be surprised, and I was.

Not gone into too much detail, but trigger warnings for suicide, child abuse, pedophilia, domestic abuse, cheating, murder.

A very satisfying read!

I liked this story a lot! It’s the perfect in between book!! It had a lot of heart to the story for such a short amount of time!! I recommend it! Superb narrator!!!

Minor spoilers

I tagged this as spoiler to explain why I didn’t

Rating this short story is difficult for me. I enjoy everything Liv Constantine (or as I say The Constantine Sisters) writes and I enjoyed listening to the audiobook.

At times I found myself talking back to the narrator. As a graduate of Law&Order law school with a PhD in SVU, even I know that kidnapping has a statute of limitations. Granted, this fact would negate the whole story, but I bet most thriller readers know this too. One of the three characters who knew the backstory had to have watched the shows. Also lawyers have confidentiality, even if their clients admit to crimes. The individual could have easily sought legal advice any way along the way.

The lack of legal research is the reason for four not five stars.

Not even

As I understand it, Liv Constantine is a pen name combined by two sisters. it appears only one of them wrote this. it's sorely lacking the other one.

Wandered

Well read. Improbable story within plus story within…almost too much. Still, kept my interest to the end.
